Appreciate the bumps & pings....

When I turned 18, I registered as a Democrat, because the Democrats had better looking candidates

Actually, you have stumbled over a Great Truth.... people support the candidate who looks & sounds the best on TV- actual competence, character, and ability have little to do with it.

Aiding & abbetting this is the media's love affair with charisma- it started with FDR, took wing with JFK, and found its ultimate embodiment in clinton...

Sad but true! I will never stop believing that this is the ONLY reason that Clinton ever won. And the fact that the idiot won twice will never stop amazing me. How can people be so stupid!? I suppose it shouldn't really surprise me since I used to do the same thing. But somehow... I just don't get it. LOL
