4. maybe I wasn't clear. I don't think Prez's are cure alls for every problem

and I don't expect a Democratic President to address every issue as I would. Bill didn't and I think he's been one of the most effective Presidents we've had post WWII....and, yes, he got a BJ and lied about it. We didn't elect a religious leader, we elected a President, you know, that old, "man of the people" thing. That's what I meant....

11. He was very effective at diminishing the Democratic Party

during Clinton's administration, the we lost:
- 48 seats in the House
- 8 seats in the Senate
- 11 governorships
- 1,254 state legislative seats
- Control of 9 legislatures
In addition 439 elected Democrats had joined the Republican Party while only three Republican officeholders had gone the other way.
While Democrats had been losing state legislative seats on the state level for 25 years, the loss during the Clinton years was striking. In 1992, the Democrats controlled 17 more state legislatures than the Republicans. After November 2000, the Republicans controlled one more than the Democrats. It was the first time since 1954 that the GOP had controlled more state legislatures than the Democrats (they tied in 1968). Among other things, this gave the Republican more control over redistricting.
In fact, no Democratic president since the 19th century suffered such an electoral disintegration of his party as did Clinton.

5. If you settle for less, then you get what you deserve

I don't expect the president to be a savior or a messiah who fixes everything. However, I want one that will make a difference (a POSITIVE difference) in this world.

If we only demand what's possible, we'll probably get something that is "only" possible. But, if we demand the IMpossible, we may very well get somebody who make the impossible possible.

6. Sounds like a good campaign slogan for the emotional

mature and well adjusted.

How many of those people can there be? Well, actually more people did vote for Gore than *.

8. I want one who can dance.

Whoever is elected is going to lie to me, so I want to be entertained, dammit.

[pinto]

9. a good dancer is worth 4-5 poll points dontcha know. Funny post....

And! Bush can't even walk and chew gum. What kind of leader is that?
