seriously, though. bush is a true inspiration. after his reelection, he became the kinda guy that makes joe schmo think, "shoot, if he can do it, so can i!"

a woman and a hussein? sure, why the hell not!

Default who is the Muslim candidate?

You dont seem to have a very good grasp of actual truth - there is no Muslim Democratic candidate as far as I know....

If you dont like a particular candidate I suggest you outline why, but please refrain from stating obvious untruths about them. By such a device you only serve to render even your occasional valid arguements questionable, given that they emanate from such a source.

Default Time will tell

I think Richardson's got the potential to REALLY make a name for himself in this race. I think of any of the candidates, he's got the deepest foreign policy experience and will likely gain traction with that, but flat out, he lacks the resources Hillary and co. have. I think he's got a chance to make a real splash though.

Vilsac is being underestimated as well. No one knows Iowa like he does, for obvious reasons. If he shows well there, he could potentially be a dark horse.

Kerry, Kucinich and Dodd will be done before they get out of the gate.

Hillary I think right now, is the front runner, but I don't know if Democrats are as wild about her as a candidate as her popularity would suggest. Obama's going to fall off the wagon when he has to begin talking about things of substance.

What Obama's appeal has though, and what it tells me, is that the Democrats are looking for something new, which makes me think a dark horse has a real shot. Mark Warner I think would have fit the bill really well, but he's out.

So I don't know right now, but it'll be interesting. If Al Gore runs, I think that turns the Demo's world upside down in a big way. So once we've got a real idea of who's definately in and definately out, we'll be able to handicap it more.

Yeah:

- The earning of $100,000 from a novice futures trader with a $1000 stake - shazzam! Magic!

- Filegate. Shazzam!

- Travelgate. Shazzam!

- The amazing, magical "finding" of her rose law firm files in the whitehouse, 2 years after they were subpoened by the whitewater committee. Shazzam!

- Others.

Did she get convicted on any of this? Nope.

Do most intelligent people think all these things were coincidence, that she was pure as the driven snow? Nope.

My panties are already wadded.

But if you meant one thing why did you say something completely different (and untrue)?

let's see if any attempt was exerted to uncover wrongdoing in those Clintongate episodes:
Quote:
... Expenditures by Independent Counsel Ken Starr's office have officially surpassed the $40 million mark, according to new Justice Department figures...

The figures show that Starr's office, through the end of November 1998, had spent $40,835,000. That includes $27,749,000 in direct expenses from independent counsel appropriations and $13,086,000 in unreimbursed expenses incurred by other government agencies.

Those figures do not include costs incurred by Starr's predecessor, Robert Fiske, whose office spent about $6 million before Starr was appointed to lead the investigation.

jake, guess you would have us believe that no one tried hard enough to find anything on her. Shazzam!
