8. Sept 24, 2005

There was a young Marine in dress uniform that marched with 500,000+ of us in DC to demand an end to the war.

Everytime I march there are vets marching too.

So what is your point?

[FUGW]

10. You don't get 5 stars second guessing your orders.

His grandkid is a Dem now, why not Ike himself?

6. This is what I've been saying...

Push back whenever anyone pushes our party to the right

I don't let anyone call me far left because I espouse what I believe to be classic Liberalism. The far left no longer exists in the Democratic Party, if it ever did.

[Rainscents]

11. Kennedy Democrat!

:D

[benburch]

15. Exactly.

And that is what Bill Clinton was.

Apologies to Magistrate, whom I know thinks I am full of shit for saying this, but if Bill Clinton had been around in the 60s, his policies would have made him a moderate Republican.

[LittleClarkie]

17. Are you sure it wasn't Hillary instead of Bill

I'd heard that SHE was a Goldwater Repub, but never heard that about Bill.

[benburch]

19. I referred to my assessment of his policies in office.

Not to any historical affiliation.

[benburch]

16. Oh, and...

...I knew Barry Goldwater from a couple of conversations on Amateur Radio. He was a nice fellow.
