Gore, Kerry, Clinton, Sharpton, Edwards, Clarke, Carter....

What a bunch of losers.

This is a stupid comment.  1st of all, Gore sucks; I'll give you that.  Secondly, Sharpton sucks (because he's a darn anti-semite).  However, the rest, I simply must disagree.  I once saw a button that said, "What's worse?  Screwing an intern or screwing a country?" and that's my feelings on Clinton.  On Kerry, I can't wait 'till he whips Bush's tail & you can eat your words.  On Edwards, I can't wait 'till he whips Cheney's tail & you can eat your words.  On Clarke, well...  I'm so sorry that he told the truth, truly I am.  And Carter was the last Dem. in office before Clinton, so as far as recent elected officials, Carter is someone we need to cling onto.  But I don't really have an opinion one way or another about him.
Seeing Clinton speak for the first time in a LONG time was so refreshing for me.  Does anyone feel the same as I?

Man, that must have been a catfight.  All those Democrats in one room together.  Carter never much liked Clinton, I understand, and Clinton never much liked Gore.  In fact, there were all these stories about how Clinton and Bush (in the transition meeting in January 2000) found more in common to talk about than Clinton and Gore ever did in 8 years.  Too funny.  Yeah, gore is a fool, but I like to watch clinton speak too.  He has that very exotic accent, and is something of a comedian, like Bush.  As for Sharpton, I'm not sure it's fair to call him an anti-semite.  Sure, he's humiliated by our country's one-sided policy regarding Israel, but many people are, so don't read too much into that.  Sharpton's biggest problem is that he's an opportunist and a liar.  He goes into these black churches in places like South Carolina, where folks make like 15000 per year, and after they've passed around the hat once for the church offering, they pass it around again for Sharpton's campaigns and causes.  "Dig deep brothers and sisters."  Taking those poor folks' money without shame or gaff.  What a con-artist.  But, you gotta give him credit, he's the best orator in the bunch.  Oratory is a lost art in american politics, and Sharpton is one of the best.  Maybe it's a protestant thing, I'm not sure, but I do like listening to his one-line zingers against those snooty Democrats in debates!

Except for Clinton's State of the Union this was the first political speech I've heard from Clinton. He was incredible!

There's a whole generation who never knew any other commander-in-chief besides Clinton.  that's pretty warped.  I know, because Reagan was president the entire time I was in high school.  Imagine how warped we must be!  I can definitely relate.  The two most memorable presidents of my adult life are the two most disturbing.  No surprises there.

Ian,
I had not heard that particular diatribe.  I do not doubt you though.  Still he was, by far, the best public speaker in the debates.  (though that may not be saying much)  Either way, it made me glad.  Bush is safe.
