You are welcome. But if Clinton is not elected, then we only had 20 years of Bush/Clinton.

Nah- everyone will go to the conspiracy theory threads to discuss how the 2008 election was stolen.

If Clinton wins the talk among some here will be of impeachment. Excuse me, I'm off to search for worthy charities for the proceeds of my $1,000,000.

Don't count out Dr. Paul just yet. Perhaps in 2009 we'll be talking about the impeachment proceedings against President Dr. Paul, just before he locks them up in the Badnarik Constitutional Seminar Re-education Death Camp.

Last I checked this 'occupation' of Afghanistan was to prevent the vicious rule of an unconfirmed God being re-established.
