 I found it difficult to find employment during the Clinton years (I had to move to North Carolina to find a full time teaching job), though I finally landed my current job during the second Clinton administration. I've seen my salary increase by 80% in 7 years, and much of it during the Bush administration.
 
 Yes, the unemploment rate has increased a bit during Bush's tenure. But not here in DC. The DC economy is quite strong. Blaming your lack of a job on the Bush administration seems like bullshit to me. When I couldn't find a job for two years, I certainly didn't blame it on the President. Get more training/education, be willing to move across the country for a job, or accept something less than desirable and work your way up.

I'm not blaming my lack of a new job on Bush, i'm just saying that if the economy was better in general, and it has slumped during his administration for whatever reasons, it would make thigns easier. Believe me i'm not trying to pass the buck. My other examples are far more related directly to Bush.

And your brother who is fighting in Iraq....he didn't get drafted did he?
 
 Surely anybody who voluntarily signs up for the military/national guard does so knowing that he/she may end up fighting in a war, right?
 
 My sympathies regarding your mother, and my positive vibes for the safely of your brother...

What Europeans need to understand is that a blowjob in the Oval Office WASN'T enough to impeach a president. [/QB]

He was impeached for lying under oath about it...The same thing any other man in that position would have done, right or wrong.  But lying about WMD's and going to war over it, hasn't cost anyone their jobs.  Go figure.

 how fucking embarrassing....

I think you've interpreted the numbers incorrectly.  18-30 year olds only acccounted for 17% of all voters.  Identical to 2000.
 
 I'd be curious to know what percentage of them actually showed up though.  The Dems were banking on more.  Guess  The Boss and PJ didn't work hard enough.... [/b]

I could've interpreted it wrong, but that is the way it was presented on the Today show this morning.

Last time I checked, the Alabama National Guard was promoting one weekend a month, two weeks a year. You are right that the possibility always exists, but sending National Guard troops ahead of folks who actually signed on for this sort of thing is something I will never understand. We won't go into the extentions on length of service they are given for whatever reason.

  I know when this contract runs out for me, I'll be looking for a new job. I surely won't look for one that pays me what I get now, I'd be looking for years. I'll just take whatever job I get offered and work with it......Not blame it on the President. Even If I have to work at 7-11, at least it's a job. That's why I save money, for times like that.

my point proven exactly.

Just hoping, maybe they realize how divided the US and the world are becoming. Even though they have a 3 million vote advantage on the popular vote, I hope they will realize that the country is more divided than in 2000.
 
 As for Rob Gee's comment on the impeachment, I decided a long time ago not to respond to his posts, a waste of time.

He did say "for the most part", so deep down inside, we might still be "pals".
