I don't know that Clinton despised the military......do you or is that just an assumption on your part?

And yes we all did have business with Dr Hammer, a VERY nice man, cause we were all involved in the cattle biz. But I assure you that Dr Hammer was much more concerned with making money than he was the well being for the son of business partner!!! The Gore family was in the cattle buisness well before Al went to service.

Your opinions about various presidents are just that and you are entitled to them. Since mine are different than your surely does not make you right by a long shot. Yes, you all feel confident now cause the Rep party is in control....but that will not always be the case.

I agree that Carter should not have been President....he was way too well mannered for the job. That job takes slick and arrogant SOB's...and that is something Carter is not. And before you start doing backflips....yes that makes Clinton a arrogant SOB....and there are some of the them I like...& he's one of them to this day!!!

I'll feel confident even when the Republicans are not in control. I can't think of anything better to ensure a Republican winning the Presidency in 2008 than having to listen to Nancy Pelosi for two years. If you libs think that shrill bitch from Gaybay represents the democratic party, I predict that the 2008 elections will show you where you're wrong. :D

Clinton wrote in a letter to his recruiter that he despised the military. That is where I got that. I would have to go look that up.

You must know Armand Hammer because if my recollections are right, he was not refered to Dr. except to people he knew well as it was one thing he always made sure he did was put the Dr. in front of his name. Didn't Hammer have a son and what ever happened to him?

Yes our opinions of prez'x are different , but by the same token it does not make you right. As feeling confident, no, optimistic yes. If the rep's win great, next to get a good conservative in the WH. If the dems win, and having Pelosi run the show and exhibit how left she and the dems are..................well.

I still get a kick out of the inconsistencies of yours on military service and Prez's.(not necesarily yours following, but libs and maybe yours)
Clinton good ..........despised the military
Kerry good.............seved, but defamed the military
Bush bad...............served Guard and in line to go overseas.
Gore good..........served in a cush job, acquired by influence
Dole?????.........served with honor, but laughing stock of libs

Looks like BOTH parties put self interest above ethics.

WHERE IS THE ETHICS COMMITTEE? BUSY SELLING OUT ETHICS TO THE PARTIES?

It seems in politics today we have a bunch of whores in suits, willing to turn any trick they think they can get away with.

Some on this board are so enamoured with republicans vs. democrats that they overlook the prostitution going on.

Is that what it figures out to per person? 28K and change. Hell, that ain't nothing compared to what's going to happen when the guv'ment starts covering all our health care needs. Considering that the life expectancy has increased so much, it would seem logical that the age to recieve SS benefits would increase 4 years or so as well, which would take a pretty good bite out of that....but of course that would be trying to balance the budget on the backs of the elderly....can't have that. :roll:
