> Truly an airtight cite there, Spoofe. An Australian commentator repeating an opinion you happen to share. Your mother must be proud of you.

And Elvis, once again, proves exactly how much debating skill he has.

Point Numero Uno: I said it was a quick, cursory search. In other words, even the simplest, easiest glance at evidence revealed it. Try it sometime. You don’t need everything spoon-fed to ya, buckaroo.

Point Numero Dos: Whoever said it’s an opinion I agreed with? You simply **ass** umed it.

Jeez. Turn down the vitriol meter, wouldja, Elvis?

The President, freed from any worries about appealing to the masses in order to get re-elected, can then take a hard-line stance for whatever position he really believes in. \*\*

Shivver me timbers, **rjung**.  
That’s one strong arguement _against_ term limits. In fact, I’ve used it as such. The last 25% of a president’s 2nd term is bad enough as it is. All them w’s and such. 😉

Okay, lessee, for evidence of the departed Astorian’s assertions, we have Spoofe offering an Australian journalist, and Sam offering some Canadian college students. Spoofe, nice try on that “quick Google” stuff - you could have used half the time you took on that latest bombast to provide something appropriate, if that were true. To you two fantasizers, that must mean that the left _here in the US_ hated Reagan as widely and as _personally_ (you keep forgetting that part) as Clinton was, and is, by the current right. If you like looking foolish, go right ahead. I note that Astorian has bowed out already, wisely.

There’s a very short word to describe people with a habitual, casual disregard for the truth. You could avoid being labeled it by simply using a little respect for facts - but instead, you’d rather hinder the goal of Fighting Ignorance. You’re both obviously capable of better. Now shape up.
