Thanks, Bill. There at least was some compassion in GW. You may not know, but I am from Texas and the area where GW got his start in politics. I have friends who knew GW and stated that when he announced he would seek the POTUS, that he would be invading Iraq within 18 months. He had said to them that he was going to get the "Man that tried to kill his daddy." The thing that stopped him temporarily was 9/11. I always wonder if 9/11 had not happened, if GW would have been a one term POTUS considering the unpopularity of the Iraq war. A lot of money and lives would have been saved from the war.

Sigh….why, I will never know, do US voters always(it seems to me) elect « The Daddy » candidates. Even females must have sufficient god-fearing testosterone.

What allows Mexican voters to have, and elect, a candidate as their current president? She would not even have been allowed in a presidential debate here.

Finding the time when our broken clock leaders do something ok, misses the reality that we always destroy progressive candidates.

Gary Hart had a women on his lap; Howard Dean screamed; Patrica Schroeder wasn’t named Patrick…. Better candidates exist, but

I agree about W. He wasn't the worst and he wasn't the best, but he was still somewhat human.
