Whatever else, he appears to be far and away much better than that rat bastard Clinton.<br /><br />So, it is highly irritating when I see Republicans essentially fighting the lefties battles for them, and making huge miscalculations, due to ODS (which I'm sorry, but a lot of them have...just as badly as the liberals lost their minds with BDS). I realize that a lot of conservatives/Republicans are low information voters, but they should be capable of looking back to the Bush years and realizing that same as back then, there are things afoot that are not public knowledge, at least not yet.<br />Used to have the common sense to apprehend that, but not now.<br /><br />PWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-46553814926386743552013-08-27T09:44:33.485-07:002013-08-27T09:44:33.485-07:00The adults in DC (what few there are) must have sa...The adults in DC (what few there are) must have sat him down and explained just how much danger he's in and convinced him that ,as far as the anti-terrorist policies in place were concerned, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.<br /><br />To a certain extent within those guidelines, he's still tried and managed to screw up a lot.<br /><br />Even the the stopped clock can be wrong all day, it seems.edutcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033144261502435196noreply@blogger.com
