Jay,
would it surprise you to know, I accept all your reasoning and criticism of Bush. I think he has been cavalier with foriegn policy, and to insular when it has come to enviromental issues.
I thought he would be good, at the onset of his Presidency, but I was wrong and it is time for a change.
I would accept he has been politically dishonest, for example, the juiced up case for invading Iraq was a political lie, not a bare-faced one.
I respect your democratic inclinations, and suspect if I were an American, I would have Republican ones.
The reason we respectfully and jovially disagree, is that my argument for the Clintons, in my opinion, still holds firm, within my acceptance of your thoughts on Bush. I would have thought you could have had the Clintons as advisors, but I'm not having that America doesn't have good credible democratic candidates without that credibility flaw.
Jay, I dont know what you do for a living, but if we were entering a business deal, and you clearly caught me out lying, over a minor issue that I staked my reputation on, would we be able to carry on? I would suspect not. If you agree, my primitive comparison takes care of Bill. Then you start to see were my previous derision comes from, when you see me post things like 'Surely not Hillary!' I also accept you may not join me on that family connection, that I find too interwoven.
And a last point, one that I am definitely right on and will have no countenance on it. My nickname is Conky and not Conkey!!!
Regards
Alan
