1) Who's Brad? 2) Why the hostility? 3) Do you really believe we "let" OBL get away?? If you do you're delusional.

You're entire post was at best an ideological rant. Comparing GWB and Clinton as fathers? Whatever. I'm not a father but I think bringing up children today is a crapshoot. The best parents in the world can have terrible kids and visa versa. This was a piss poor comparison on your part. You're really reaching with that little nugget.

In the intrest of full disclosure (again), I'm an independant. I vote for whomever, I believe, will will do the best job. Party politics is amusing at best and disgusting at it's worst. Both parties always seem to take great pleasure in always opposing what the other side says or does; regardless of the fact that it may actually make sense. That shows me that some politicians are more concerned with their respective parties than they are with their country. These people we can do without. Unfortunately bost sides are infested with these types. I think the hardliners (as you appear to be) actually cheer these types rather than castigate them. Maybe that's why politics today is such a joke. But, then again, maybe it was always this way. I just started paying attention a few years ago.

Getting back to your rant. I've been on this board as long as you have. I know you can you can be far more convincing than this. I know for a fact some people actually believed you when you said you ebay'd all those copies of AFM to "help get DB get more exposure."  Man, I still smile over that one. Maybe you should consider running for office. You seem to have mastered all of the same tactics as the Dem's lately. Spin spin spin.....

Oh, and I'm Dale not Brad.
