    Four political years is like four minutes in people years.

    If a bureaucrat fell from a fourth story window, it would take him two weeks to hit the ground.

    What pertinent life lessons have you learned in the last four minutes, assuming all four were tied to a chair, with no window, in the same place?

    Did you learn to predict the future, blame one person, come to the conclusion that anything else is better?

    Don't think things can't get worse, that is always a possibility. There is always a lower low, and emotional (rash) decisions are the number one cause of despair.

    I have leaned not to let Liberals anywhere near an elected office. But I already knew that. The last four years have just re-enforced it.

    Example: Harry Reid, D- Nevada, Senate Majority Leader and Nancy Pelosi, D - California, House Majority Leader.

    What have these two done since getting into office? I mean besides take vacations when they are needed most?

  • Democrats in Congress are EVIL--they have put the screws to America through their radical, hateful, hostile agenda aimed at destroying George Bush. On the flip side, I think Bush could have stood up to them a little better, instead, he tried to play ball and that was his downfall. Reagan would have put every one of them in their place.

    i have learned that a republican president can't accomplish sh*t with a house full of democrats just as in the past a democratic president couldn't accomplish sh*t when the house was majority republican. right now they need to clean house and get the 2 democrats who screwed us on the oil out of office, as if gas prices weren't high enough.
