In reply to the discussion: Don't know about you, but I'm still FURIOUS about Selection 2000. [View all]LongTomH
(8,636 posts)116. Thanks for this thread, Octafish! I don't intend to get over this either!
I still hold out hope that the country may yet recover from that travesty.
One of the worst results of that Y2K selection is that, we've lost 12 years of action on global warming. Al Gore, to be objective, is like Bill Clinton, a DLC 'New Democrat.' He would still have been light-years ahead of Gee Dubya, especially in the area of the environment and global warming.
I'm tempted to start a thread on what Circle of Hell should be reserved for the traitors who put Dubya into office and proceeded to lie us into a disastrous war, then prolong that war when it should have ended years ago.
