[QUOTE]Originally posted by Vogon Poet: [QB] Is this how it's going to be? Whenever someone makes a joke about this Republican president, a Republican immediately has to come out and make a joke about the guy who ran against him, or the party he represented? Because it's going to be pretty stupid in 3 years time, or even 7 in the unlikely event he gets re-elected (Bushes don't seem to be good at that part). You might have heard about this small island I live in, and how recently we saw the end of 18 years of rule by the Conservative party. Well, in those 18 years we saw a gradual, almost flukish return from a period of prolonged economic unrest, which then turned into a vastly swollen boom which became in its turn a bust that rivalled the one in which they were elected. And throughout it all you had these idiots reminding you that "in real terms" (a popular phrase of theirs)they were still handling things better than the previous administration - and this after 18 years! A whole generation had grown up and were now able to vote, who couldn't even remember thewm not being in charge, and were not expected to re-elect them because things today were better than they had been in a period that had about the same relevance to the youth of today as the Middle Ages. So, there. A cautionary tale. Live in the now. You're SUPPOSED to take the piss out of the guys running things, whoever they are and whichever party they belong to. There are plenty of places in the world which don't have such freedoms. So relax, take a load off, and just say to yourselves "well, let's be honest here, he's no. . . *tries to think of a good Republican president* . . . Richard Nixon." 8) [/QB][/QUOTE]
