And the claim to fame for the previous administration was what again?
Adultery? Ignoring world terrorism threats? Failure to do much of
anything worthwhile?

Do you have any links or sites to prove 'the most...' aspect of that
statement ?

Don't forget selling our rocket and nuke science to the Chineese
military wing, ignoring Korea while they stole our money and printed
it too, and the hundreds of voting and campaign finance issues, and of
course the murders of Vince Foster, Ron Brown, etc...

Well, if you put Bush "most incompetent" in Google, you'll get 62,000
links.

Only 427 days left in the most incompetent administration in US
history.

Second most.

Every aspect of life doesn't have to revolve around politics or
political argument, but when you are Jonesing for a political fist
fight there are a bunch of sites set up exactly for that purpose.

This is supposed to be a boating NG. We can and should discuss boats
without giving a schlitz about who voted for whom in 2004, who is
going to vote for whom in 2008. (Heck, if one of the longshots pulls
it out in the home stretch I might even vote Republican for the first
time since in 20 or 30 years....but *NOBODY* cares!! At least not in
a boating NG)

When I am talking with a fellow boater across a dock or at a yacht
club meeting, we can discuss a million boating related subjects and
never get into, "Are you a Democrat or a Republican? Who did you vote
for in '04?" In fact, people would think it pretty strange if one
wanted to take the conversation off in that direction.

Rec BOATS, not rec Votes. :-)

I've seen no cut and pastes here from any Bush supporter. Have you?

Harry posted his usual anti-Bush rhetoric and his post got what it
deserved. Where is the 'pro-Bush stuff to which you refer?

Guess what Google just gave me?

"Results 1 - 10 of about 769,000 for clinton adultery. (0.13 seconds)"

Beat your Googlin by over 1000%

I always get a chuck out of those sorts of comparisons...

"Bush started a war." "But Clinton got a blowjob!"

"Bush sent 3800 Americans to die in Iraq." "But Clinton got a blowjob!"

et cetera.

Obviously, the Republican "base" thinks nothing of sending people off to
die in a political war, but are horrified, just horrified, by the idea
of a blowjob. Or lying about a blowjob.

I am not horrified by it, but you started the 'incompetence' thread.
Clinton is a liar. Show me a politician who doesn't lie and I'll donate
to their campaign.

I hate us being in this war, I'd vote to bring all the troops home NOW
and be done with it.

Now there's a whole list of other issues Clinton mismanaged that are not
exactly shining moments of his administration. Clinton didn't go to war,
but he had the chance to prevent it along time ago. He failed to act &
respond at that time.

You guys sure do need a three party system......... some kind of real choice
from the usual fare.

We have other candidates, but the reality is they don't stand much of a
chance in the current system. Part of the problem, those who are truly
the most qualified for the job, more than likely want nothing to do with
the 'politics' of it all.

I didn't say the pro-bush crowd *had* posted, only that posts like
Harry's "issue free license" to do so. The Bush fans are showing more
maturity and restraint. So far. However, we can be pretty sure that
when the Bush fans (or the similarly inclined) want to trot out a
political screed Harry's anti-bush post will be cited as an excuse for
doing so. That's the way logic works in the NG- no matter how poorly
party A behaves he or she should be excused if party B did something
similar.

If this were the only forum on the web, it would be understandable
that people would discuss a long list of non-boating subjects here,
but it isn't.
