Instead, Americans choose their President based on who wins the

THis has always been the case. HOnestly I am sure glad
GWB got elected because otherwise the economic situation
would have been pinned on the democrats. Right now
there's nobody else to blame, no matter how much
fancy-pants dancing they do.

It is blamed on the Democrats. I constantly hear Dems mentioning that
the Slickmeister gave us uprecidented prosperity (even if he rode in
on Reagans economy) for the 8 yrs he was in orfice. If this is
true..then its obvious that he is also responsible for the recession.
It started on his watch, so it must be his fault. Correct? Just like
9-11 was Bush's fault. Correct?

Think REALLY hard before answering either statement. EEEG

" ..The world has gone crazy. Guess I'm showing my age...
I think it dates from when we started looking at virtues
as funny. It's embarrassing to speak of honor, integrity,
bravery, patriotism, 'doing the right thing', charity,
fairness. You have Seinfeld making cowardice an acceptable
choice; our politicians changing positions of honor with
every poll; we laugh at servicemen and patriotic fervor; we
accept corruption in our police and bias in our judges; we
kill our children, and wonder why they have no respect for
Life. We deny children their childhood and innocence- and
then we denigrate being a Man, as opposed to a 'person'. We
*assume* that anyone with a weapon will use it against his
fellowman- if only he has the chance. Nah; in our agitation
to keep the State out of the church business, we've
destroyed our value system and replaced it with *nothing*.
