Reply #120: i was 17

[barbtries]

and heartbroken that i couldn't vote. my friend who was voting for the first time had a mcgovern sticker on her car then went inside and voted for nixon while i waited in her car. her boyfriend had told her mcgovern was going down in flames. so what?!

when nixon resigned i was 18 and had moved out. i went to my mom's house to watch it with her and gloat but she took all the fun out of it by crying and saying he was the best president we'd ever had. go figure

i think i looked at both of them both times like they were nuts. my mom's long dead but my friend, the last time we talked politics, told me saddam had WMDs and had secreted them in syria before the US military caught up with him. she basically warned me off of bashing the war. oh well.

i do love that some hearings will go on. for those of us who have been paying attention over the past several years impeachment is the least of the consequences bush etc should be facing right now. but apparently most americans have a lot of catching up to do.

i don't want to get too happy though. too many disappointments during this disastrous administration.
