    It was only yesterday that I realized his real first name is Willard. I previously assumed it was Mittens. Goodbye, Willard.

    Stop picking on Mitch Romney!

    So if that is your opinion of Romney who has spent most of his life making his own fortune in private enterprise what is your opinion of the Clintons?

    If he was Michael Jackson's son, he'd probably call him oven.

    $35 million of your own money is a lot to spend to end up as a footnote in election history.

    LBRez might reasonably ask the same thing of my hero George Washington. Inherited a plantation, served in the military for years and then in DC. Didn't make his own fortune in private enterprise. Was he, therefore, a crappy president? Undeserving of our respect? Look, LBRez, I'd support the repeal of the 22nd Amendment and then vote for George W. Bush if he had accomplished half of what Clinton did in two terms.

    Footnote: Clinton was born in absolute poverty, was a Rhodes scholar, and elected governor. Whatever else his failures, that was once regarded by conservatives as a real American success story. You don't have to love or hate Mitt Romney to see that.

    Way to go, Gorilla Warfare! Glad I didn't write a response. It would have paled in comparison to yours.

    Jesus doesn't like Mormons. It's their underwear. It's just weird. Oh and I hate that punch they serve at weddings.

    Clinton was the best Democrat President Republicans could have hoped for domestically: tax cut, welfare reform, kept out of the way of the economy (with exception of tax cuts), enabled environment that pushed Newt to the Contract With America midterm elections that overturned the Dem majority in Congress. The enimity that he inspired (inspires) with conservatives blinds them to his many somewhat conservative achievements. Same with Bush. He has been a great President for Democrats if they can get past their BDS to look at what he hath wrought: expanded Fed government, huge domestic spending, attempts at immigration reform that would bring amnesty into the picture and allow hundreds of thousands, if not millions, more immigrants to surge north, Federal intervention into education, he signed McCain-Feingold, and he was lighting rod that allowed Dems to regain control of Congress.

    Get past the emotional hatred and look at the deeds and both sides should see that perhaps the man they hate did more to further their own agendas than the man they love(d).

    Too bad the Golden Spoon filter appears to apply to your view of candidates, it precludes you from supporting Hillary or Obama!

    I was following for awhile, pretty much right up to the point where you mentioned the Golden Spoon filter -- which, of course, wouldn't hold water.
