12. Not to be nitpicky of the poll...
Edited on Wed Feb-02-05 07:45 PM by DETERMINEDPROGRESIVE
But it's kinda a weird question, about describing his past speeches. Forgettable, Memorable, or neither. How can it ever be neither? I mean, if something isn't memorable, by defaulted logic doesn't it automatically become forgettable? LOL I don't know, just struck me as odd. Think about it, if someone asked you "hey, do you remember what you had for dinner last night?" You could answer yeah, I remember, or no, I don't remember. How could you ever answer "well, I neither remember nor forget what I had for dinner last night".

Ok, I'm done, hehe

What is your PARTY AFFILITION; THIS,, THAT, DONT KNOW

ETC.
