4. I know! He is so intelligent, and just plain good! I can't even begin
to think about "what might have been" had SCOTUS remained true to their constitutional authority. That began the erosions of our constitution and separation of powers, with consequent increases of power in the executive branch. "What might have been" leads me to despair!

on the Gore poll. Just a sneaking suspicion. ;-)

2. Pretty pitiful when people
believe Nixon will be viewed more favorably than the Chimperator.

7. Bush's fanatic base is hardcore
But, to be honest, I think history will judge Bush as one of the best presidents ever. That, of course, is because the hardcore sycophants will be the ones who get to write history.

11. And one of his first executive orders was to hide all personal history
of former Presidents for decades(?) I hope you're wrong about history re-writing, though.

18. Just logged back on! That was my favorite also. As a poster above

22. Sara, I believe the comparison would be more than a fair one, and
the Shrub has already had more people die under his "rule" than Hitler did in the beginning..but, and this is a biggggg but. There are many DUers that don't see ** the way we do, and they are appalled by that comparison, so can you imagine how the general populace would feel about it. I think ** would come out ahead on AOL in that poll with about 95%. :(

Have a great day dear Sara!!!!! :hi:
Ommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :)

17. Question: Which Bush invaded Iraq earlier in his term?
George W. Bush
or
George H.W. Bush

That's Question 2 under "WHICH BUSH IS IT?"

It's strange to see crimes against humanity reduced to a trivia game on AOL!

24. I'm so jaded.
I think the purpose of the poll is to dissuade reich-wingers from feeling despondent over *'s poll numbers.

"Look how badly these other Presidents polled."

As if Truman and Carter were worse than dimson. Yeah, right. :eyes:

32. Ah that was satisfying...

Please DU the Gore poll also. He did win the popular vote in 2000 and could easily do it again.

34. Voted for Gore in this poll, though I still favor Feingold at this point.
Edited on Wed May-10-06 11:32 AM by calipendence
I want someone that will help us take charge in putting public financing of campaigns at the national level and restore the essence of our Bill of Rights to what the founders wanted it to be. I still think Feingold is the best man for that job, though I really like the way Gore has been taking leadership on other issues these days like global warming, etc. He has to PROMISE that he will have someone better than "Joementum" as his running mate though!
