REPUG logic: Even though Bush is corrupt, it'll be just like 72
I heard that tonight from a typical Repug. He said that this will be another McGovern election where Bush (Nixon) runs against an inept Dem and wins by default. He says corruption doesn't matter.

I reminded him that Watergate happened AFTER Nixon was re-elected. He sat there dumbfounded.

2. He didn't say anything
He was basically arguing that Nixon got reelected DESPITE of Watergate. I corrected him and he didn't know what to say. BTW, he's freaked by this Wilson thing, and Iraq, and the economy.

You better bring him in to the factory for some repairs. Something must be broke because they never shut up.

5. Thank You For The Laugh, Mr. Sangha
Perhaps it is a flaw in the model, and they may all be on the verge of such a malfunction....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

4. Sad but I think your friend may be right, and that you maybe
right. That is if many in our party had their way and NO I am not talking about Dean supporters or Clark supporters, but a certain indivdual(not Nader). Dems lose in 72 and that Bush resigns two years later. Then they let who ever the 08 Dem is... have it.. and another failed Carter like presidency coming after a unpopular war and a greatly damaged American psy.
