8. Fool Me Once, Fool Me Twice
The political landscape is a lot different this year. The boyking was mostly unknown and Gore was too known. We had a budget surplus, not a defecit...millions had jobs and health insurance who don't today...and the concept of this country being stuck in another Vietnam-type mess was not even pondered.

This boy is the root cause of all these problems and it's becoming obvious to more and more people...and his support is about to melt away.

Today I had a meeting with a banker...almost 40'ish, JP Morgan, veteran and the exact person the GOOP had bred & groomed for the past 2 decades. We got into the election and he told me he wished it was over. I asked why, and he said things have just gotten so bad and ugly.

Then I offered him the same softball I've used on several other Repugnicans this year...I asked him "Tell me why Bush deserves another 4 years". Here's a man whose well versed in both economics and the military. He couldn't say a thing (these days few do)...then confessed that he plans to sit this election out. Was I a fool to say he shouldn't???

Cheers!
