    Much as I'd prefer realism, I'd say that's a winner.

    Busyman-

    Do you actually think I need to continually prowl the web for material in order to post?

    I could post off the top-of-my-head without doing any of the reading I do, indeed, without consuming any media at all, other than that which informs me of events, which I'm sure you will grant as necessary, and I'm quite sure you'd never know the difference.

    I don't correspond with anyone regularly over issues, don't have an in-box full of propaganda and rhetoric, and couldn't imagine anything more boring than preaching to the choir, anyway.

    In fact, the only reason I'm even here is to relieve you of your ignorance.

    Ah, subversion of the process!

    Good idea.

    Thanks.

    Know that some of us are mindful of what ails our government. Know that we some have it in our mind that you think Bush is a good President doing a good job. This very fact alone lends me to believe (I may be speaking for others too) that although you seem to exhibit some intelligence and vocabulary, the aforementioned fact irregardless to the President, knocks this intelligence down about halfway and makes the vocabulary somewhat irrelevant to what is being convey.
    Run-On

    That's at least the way I see it (maybe the way others do too).

    Thought J2 was of the opinion that Monroe was the last decent President

    You, of all people, should know better than that.

    Nothing could be further from the truth; I think he's doing a job that warrants a description along the lines of half-assed, at best.

    I give him a C- for his tenure in the Whitehouse.

    I do feel he's had more on his plate (event-wise) than any President since FDR, and has spent commensurate time, therefore, on virgin strategic turf.

    I am of the opinion that I have not, in my lifetime, seen a Democrat I'd trust to do a better job, however.

    As I've said before, Republicans suck, they're just better than Democrats.

    Coooool. Best post I've scene from you...ever. Really.

    I agree with you on the somewhat virgin turf doohicky (stepped up terrorism) but I still give him an F.

    His decisions weren't in any way logical irregardless to what problems were placed before him. As far as his plate, he added those extra dinner specials so it can't used to excuse him if he has to eat it. He is kick ass if you were rich. Hell you got to keep a rack of money during a bad overall economy but a great real estate market.

    You shouldn't say that you suck btw. Not a good picture for an eagle.

    Yet another mis-read.

    I am not a Republican.

    I am a non-isolationist Conservative, and not of the Neo- stripe, either.

    BTW-I expect you to remember that last post of mine, too, and never pester me improperly about my allegiances again.

    For my purposes, that'll do.

    I guess.
