I guess I'm going to have to continue with my smiley faces! Yes, it's good natured as always. Only once did I let this board get to me, and it was long ago and it wasn't you RICK. As I've stated on many previous posts, I enjoy the opposing view. The board gets dull with so many conservatives all agreeing (to the point that I expect them all to kiss each other with mouths wide open...) but I digress. But RICK, just because it is good natured doesn't mean you're off the hook. My original point was to emphasise that Dubya is a "regular guy". This is the same label that the liberals tagged Clinton with when he was exposed as an adulterer. They cried that he was "only human" and "we all make mistakes". Well, it seems that when Bush makes mistakes during speaking sessions, he is labeled as dumb, not simply human. The double standard is further skewed by the fact that Bubba blatantly LIED about his moments of weakness, while Dubya makes light of it. There is a big difference there, and I much prefer the latter, for it is the same standards by which I would want to hold myself to.
