1. To his credit he did say that what the RW did to Clinton wasn't
right either.

6. He claims he called Rush and complained, does he?
Well let me just set all skepticism aside for this emissary of the right, who deserves our trust.

5. I am listening too.
those RW'ers just do not like the facts. He needs republican rehab.

Bush has no respect for the American people, who smirks and lies, give me a break. WTF?

7. Without knowing more about this caller, I'll give him the benefit
of the doubt. It's not so much that he's stupid, but rather, consider this. Bush has done some really incredible things that go past audacity. This is stuff that's politically surrealistic. You NEVER would have predicted that we would be where we are today maybe 6 years ago. I think guys like this caller have a disconnect with what's going on because of the enormity of the wreckage created.

19. If alot of Bush supporters knew the truth...
they may lose it. My mom voted for him twice, and is bowled over by stuff like, 'Operation Northwoods'. She does not believe this ever happened. I try to go easy on her, because some of the stuff my sister and I tell her keeps her up at night, according to her. Still, she's not deprogrammed yet, because I don't think she wants to know the truth-it's just too much for some people, not that this excuses sticking your head up your ass.

8. You can't have respect for the office of President if the
President has no respect for it. Bush has no respect for the Office of President except for what he can get from it. Otherwise he doesn't care what he has reduced the Presidency of the United States to.

And thanked the producer for putting him on the air. There's hope for that guy.

14. Totally Idiotic
This whole "respect the office" thing is just ridiculous. It's not a position of royalty. It's a temporary exec job, based upon the desires of a majority or plurality of the citizenry. Since that is the case, the respect is SOLELY based upon respect for the current job holder as a person. The office is that: A position; a chair; an office.

It's a temp job, you buffoons out there! There is NOTHING to respect in the position itself. NOTHING!

And since i don't respect a single thing about this silverspoon twit we have holding that job right now, then i don't respect the office either. He is the one and only frame of reference. Without the person in the job, the position is non-existent! Would anybody respect an empty chair?

The PERSON in the job is all we've got upon which to base respect or loathing. I LOATHE this idiot we've got now! So;

No! I will not respect the PRESIDENCY! That's just stupid!
The Professor

20. I'm sure the guy 'respected' Clinton
Like all the talking heads on TV did, crowing cravenly for him to be impeached for lying about a blow job.

:eyes:
