The header says it all.This n.g used to be really active and interesting. Now it's dead.Guess we can thank the ranting and raving political bunch for that. Theymust have driven everyone away. :-(--CheersRoger T. of the Great Eastern Railway

Let us examine Mr. Clintons career.

- Number of wars started on false pretenses to promote one's political career - 0

- Number of wars started on any pretenses to promote one's political career - 0

- Number of US soldiers sacrificed in wars to promote one's political career - 0

- Number of times showed poor choice of Bimbos - 2 (at least)

- Major failing - Let the little head do the thinking too many times.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Now let's ask the same questions about Shrub.

- Number of wars started on false pretenses to promote one's political career - 1

- Number of wars started on any pretenses to promote one's political career - 1

- Number of US soldiers sacrificed in wars to promote one's political career - Not Yet 200 but growing daily.

- Number of times showed poor choice of Bimbos - None known but there has to be someone out there who would consider him as a partner after all he is the President and some women are attracted by power.

- Major failings - Lied about the war.

- - - - - - - - - - - -

Given that no innocent person gets to that level in politics: given a choice of the lessor of two evils, I will take a guy who screws interns rather than someone who sends Americans to die in foreign countries to further his political career.

Good Morning All,

I truely respect everyones' right to freedom of speech, etc. BUT - what this thread has disintegrated into just seems to support the original question about this n.g. dying. I realize that one can totally disagree with someone's point of view, but use of language etc, at a level somewhere below the level of the gutter really has turned many of the past contributors away. It really is a shame because only a short time ago, this was a great n.g. to come to. Just my opinion.....have a great day everyone.

How much furthering does a political career need when you've made it to President?

You get mentioned and recognized in high school homogenized history books and 100 years later everyone thinks you were a great guy when you really were a dangerously stupid self righteous moron or a shiftless shameless liar who is married to a cobra in a dress. Bruce

Well as long as people post political diatribes I find offensive on R.M.R and I have to see them I can at least have the fun of messing with them. I have no intention of starting such threads but if they're there they're fair game for sport.

Roger

You started the "thread" by asking the question "Has this n.g. died or what?" and speculating that the squabbles and political flame wars may have run some people off. The thread then became of all things a political flame war. However Mark Mathu was kind enough to compile a list of all offenders for everyone to see. Your on the list so you must be guilty somehow.
