    sad

    I always thought Dukakis would have made a fantastic President...and we wouldn't have Clarence Thomas on the SCOTUS.

    If Dukakis had surrounded himself with good people, maybe we'd have avoided Newt Gingrich altogether, and our country would be in a very different place now.

    goes to show you: we can NEVER be complacent about our right-wing nut jobs. Unless and until we can confine them to the attic where they belong, they will always be out there, plotting to destroy this country, to make it into the monarchy the founding fathers so feared.
