and this from people who think reagan was the best president ever.

a lot of people will continue to cheer for him unless and until the day foxnews turns on him.

i'm itching to find out if my brother and sister-in-law have any buyer's remorse yet, but i can't find out, because if not, it could result in a rift that will not heal in our lifetimes.

. . . SURELY a president who made racism fashionable, ushered in the S&L crisis, busted unions, marginalized AIDS, gave the religious right carte blanche, made a banking CEO his Treasury Secretary, skyrocketed the debt and let's not forget OVERSAW HIGH TREASON would be at the top of MY "Best President Ever" list.

Terrorists aren't an American danger so much as people who share the same brain are.
