I concur with your first two paragraphs, I would just toss in “Democrat” right alongside Republican verbatim.
I think Clinton was a pretty benign president overall. My biggest gripe is that he looked directly into the camera and lied to the public, when he didn’t have to {please spare me any bush does that everyday or some crap if you don’t know what I mean by what I said, just say that).
Interesting point, you might want to see where a good percentage of the money that Bill has earned after leaving office has come from, I’ll leave it at that before I get labeled
The laughingstock of every civilized and uncivilized country? Generalization, I spend a good portion of the year traveling overseas and I wouldn’t use that term – when Clinton was being investigated we were, those who were aware of it couldn’t understand why it was made such a big deal(like alot of people here). Now I didn’t say that everywhere I go I am met with open arms but, I would say beyond the authorities, most – I said most really don’t care.
We are still dangerous, very dangerous for a myriad of reasons. A sample, a conversation with an aquaintance – he commented (paraphrasing)it’s difficult to understand you americans, you elect Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and another Bush – you change your politics like my daughter changes her clothes, I don’t know what I am going to see next. (not exactly subtle with the insult but not completelyl inaccurate either)
If you want GW to “abdicate” then to be both honest and fair you gotta ask the same of congress don’t you?
Anyway having said that I don’t express my opinions to try to change anyones mind, it’s a dialogue right? I do try to make people think outside their comfort zone. to me being polarized is to be intellectually dead
