No. I think Dick Cheney was evil, pure evil. (No surprise I hear that he doesn't have a heartbeat anymore. Evil doesn't need a heart.)

I don't think Joe Biden is evil at all.

Look at Prop 23. On one side, you have the oil companies and the Teabag funders. On the other side you have Google, Microsoft, and the director of Avatar.

It always seems like there is this battle going on in California between old and new economies, between old and new ideas.

California proves its collective ignorance and stupidity yet again. Partisanship at all costs. Honestly, we couldn't be more provincial and closed-minded in this state if we tried.

Can't say I disagree with that. Biden is dumb though. No getting around it.
I think they're both least dangerous playing golf or tiddlywinks.

I thought of that too, but I bet "Deadeye Dick" can do some pretty amazing things with tiddlywinks. Some filed edges on those suckers and Joe's a blind man.

Whatever Bush did is ancient history. I feel that there have been many horrible things happening since Obama took office and my opinion is that Obama and his Congress have been doing a poor job. It is not the time to affix blame. We are in crisis and the most important thing is to fix what's wrong, and IMO that's most of the incumbents. I think that at very worst the replacements would do no worse than the current batch, and the newly elected politicians might be more careful about what they do considering the example of the ones thrown out of office.

So by your logic, if someone gets shot, and I try to come in and help the guy while he's on the floor bleeding, and I don't do that good of a job, it's my fault that the guy got shot?

Practice what you preach, I certainly don't ever see you being impartial.

This is so true. I never met a Bush I liked, even way back when. But Jr. just ruined things. I knew the morning after the 2004 election we were sunk. I just had no idea how sunk we really would become.
