What makes you think I'm not?  :^)

You don't hate Bush enough to join and I don't see any black helicopters
around your place. If you were a true Birch Society guy, you'd be telling us
all about them.

> You suppose he'll vote for Hillary?  Kewl!  :^)
O'Reilly might even start campaigning for her if he keeps this shift up.

If Hillary wins I wonder how much she is going to have to pay the secret
service under the table to keep Bill off of the interns under the table?

I think we can agree on one thing. I hope Hillary doesn't let any more
cameras film her from a rear angle in the debates, the front is bad enough.
My eyes! I couldn't take it. It isn't just her poll numbers that are going
up. I wonder if she now has the largest seat available for her broomstick?
She needs to paint a whale tail on the back of her stick, or plane (or both)
to warn people to scatter when she is coming in for a landing, rather than
having to see it for themselves. Poor Bill. My heart really goes out to him.
He served this country the best he could for 8 long years and this is his
reward? If he didn't have some strange to look forward to, what could he
look forward to? He sure would want any part of looking back. You can only
do so much with a porno movie and Viagra. I say take him to the chicken
ranch to live out his days, and God Bless Bill! That would be one government
give away program I could truly support "Chickens for Bill!"
