He has been obliterated. Not just banned - he is way gone.

Were they really combined that long ago? I seem to remember celebrating separate holidays as a kid...

Damn I miss that. That's what made February so special was two 3-day weekends in a row.

Well, that seems kinda petty. He governed precisely as conseravatives would have it ... what bloody difference does it make in the scheme of things what he said about it (or, for that matter, what Congressman he phoned while getting blown in the Oval Office)??

For that matter, he talked the talk of a liberal progressive, but governed quite the opposite. It's Dems who by rights should be pissed at what came from his mouth, and Republicans who should rejoice at what came from his pen.

I wanted to vote for Sy Sperling.

Not only was he the President of the Hair Club for Men, he was also a client.

Well, for one, he wasn't always conservative; especially those first two years before he had a Republican Congress.

You're right though, why were more Dems not angrier about this?

Why are Dems not happy about the current President, who, in many repsects, is more liberal than Clinton?

Sometimes partisanship just trumps ideaology, as insane as that sounds.

My dislike of the current administration has nothing to do with partisanship or political ideology. It has to do with their dishonesty, incompetence, and the way they run roughshod over the Constitution. I'd be against any administration that has done the things this one has done, regardless of the party involved.
