Are you saying that Gore isn't a Christian? Quick internet check: Southern
Baptist. Oh hey, his favorite movie is Local Hero and TV show is Futurama.
Well, alright! Oh, sorry for the digression. So, if what you say is true,
then the Left hates Gore for being a Christian, also.
Bush lost the vote last I checked. Oh, you mean the electoral college is
what he won. Well, heck, that rotten left, how dare they hate that they won
the vote and it was ignored. Tyranny of the minority does that. :-)
American values are swinging to the right: If they were swinging that far to
the right, you wouldn't need to constantly rail against the left, now would you?

Politicians are born to be hated by somebody. What amuses me is that you
seem to think it is only that vile left that are capable of hatred. Clinton
was villified for years by the right. Bubba, Dubya? Bigotry? Maybe.
Ironic hypocrisy on the part of some? Definitely.

When Israel was formed? Oh wait, your right: they couldn't have been
appeased 'cause their still at it.

You do know that Bush pretends like he never heard of Enron when in fact he
was in bed with them? Sincere? Honest? He's a politician!

Is it so inconceivable to you that no matter how much you may like a
person's politics, they may still not qualify for your hope?

Consider this: I don't think the right is always wrong or doesn't have
legitimate points at times: you, on the other hand, are constantly trying to
demonize the left. I find it difficult to respect your claims of
partisanship against Bush when you are one of the most active at being
blindly partisan.

Johnson. Dang, maybe it's a Texan thing?

Yes. Well, okay, apparently for the Right at least (i.e. Dubya is both the
president and an idiot). At least the left didn't nominate their
politically connected idiot with the right family name (Teddy!). ;-)

| (...) Not necessarily. If he believes like a good boy in global warming, abortion, gun control, entitlements, etc,etc, and keeps his (misguided) religion to himself he's okay. I wonder if Bush's favorite TV show is King of the Hill? :-) (...) No, (...) (22 years ago, 24-Mar-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
