Very clever, Shodan. Made me chortle. 
Well, but, isn’t he responsible for all the ills of America? Not that America has any ills, mind you, except a bunch of cheese-eating surrender monkey bleeding-heart French-looking Democrats and suchlike traitors, but if we just stay the course we’ll pay for our health insurance with all those tax cuts we’re getting and outsource the terrorist interrogations to our wonderful democracy-loving allies like Pakistan while we build a freedom-loving, democratized, oil-pumping Middle East and send all those abortion-loving queers back into the closet where they belong!
Or something like that, I dunno. I’ve been missing a lot of the memos lately.
Shall I confess one of my deepest, darkest secrets?
nearly unanimous chorus: Noooooo! Shut up!
OK, I will.
I heard about the Newsweek poll that showed Kerry holding a (statistically insignificant) lead after the debate. My first thought was, “Well, if Kerry wins, at least the moronic Left on the SDMB will shut the fuck up about Bush.”
My second thought: Like there is any power on earth to make that happen.
You all are right: Win or lose, Bush will become for the left what Clinton was for the right. Economy goes back into recession? Bush’s fault. More terrorist attacks? Bush’s fault. Health care costs continue to rise? Bush’s fault.
And worst of all, the punch line to every single political discussion for the next five years.
“But what about these notarized receipts, signed by Kerry, where he is using public funds to pay for Rottweiler-and-underage-Tijuana-hooker porn?”
“Well - well - BUSH LIED ABOUT WMD! HUH? HUH? WHAT ABOUT THAT!”

Shodan
PS - Thanks, Elenia28.
Flashback to 1974:
Shodan: You guys are still talking about Nixon? Geez - give it a rest.
I thought that this quote was amusing:
“Can we just go ahead and vote now? We’re ready, right? We should amend the constitution so that, in years like this, we the people can look around at each other and say ‘Are we good? Okay, let’s do this.’”-Christian Finnegan
