ORIGINAL: bipolarber The earlier poster had it right on one score: it's about credibility. On one hand, we have Hillary, who is at a news conference, and a few of her staff discuss with the students what some questions could be. We have Hillary, who has a near lifetime of experience, including 8 years of being in the white house with Bill. Hillary, who tried once before to get health care fixed, but was slapped down by the GOP. (Now it's going to cost us twice as much.) On the other, we have Bush. Who shows up on the deck of aircraft carriers in a flight suit, and standing in front of a huge banner that says: Mission accomplished! (Who the Bush camp later blamed on the crew of the Lincon... even though it was later proven that the Lincon's print shop was incapable of producing a banner like that.) Then we have Bush again, more recently, "swift boating" a 12 year old and his family because they came out in support of the S-CHIP program. A program that saved their asses after a car crash.... Then there's Bush, who also crapped on a disabled war vet who spoke out against his policies. Then we have Bush, who's VP outed a CIA operative, thus destroying a valuable intel asset, and every contact that she had. During a time of war. (A treasonable offense, BTW...) Then there's Bush, who had a crony go to the hospital, to get a signiture from an ailing Ashcroft, to get approval of wire tapping Americans without a warrant. Then there's Bush, who put a horse breeder in charge of FEMA, and the people of New Orleans are STILL feeling the effects of that bit of incompetence... Then there's Bush... who was too busy golfing to read a memo entitled "Bin Laiden intends to use aircraft against the US"... the week of 9/3/01... Then there's Bush, who, not being told what kind of attack the US was under, (it could have been a prelude to nukes, for all he knew) sat and stared at a copy of "My Pet Goat" for 7.5 minutes.... while he waited for his handlers to come get him. Seven and one half minutes...( it takes an ICBM about 15 to cross the pole and be on the downglide to the US....) Then there's Bush, who instituted the use of "signing statements" which meant that he could make laws to apply to everyone but him... Then here's Bush, who.... Should I go on? Frankly my fingers are getting a bit tired, and suddenly I have this pain behind my eyes, just thinking about the last 7 years... Impeachment? Well, maybe that would be preferrable to a firing squad.... This is the post of the day! Compelling. :-)
