In any event, you guys seemed to think those rumors came about in an election other than the 2008 election. It was in 2008.
The Rove whisper campaign was in the 2000 primary when McCain won NH and Bush need to win SC.

You are talking about the rumors that McCain fathered his adopted daughter, not the rumors about Palin and her son. You were correct.

Hope DJT isn't the white Bill Cosby, with porn stars and playboy models coming out of the woodwork now, we all know how easily distracted he can get and don't get me started on how thin his skin is.

Does it embarrass anyone that the president of our country feels the need to get into a sticks and stones can break my bones childish argument with Joe Biden over how Joe would have treated Donald had they met in high school?

He doesn't listen to advice by those that are paid to give it. He is obsessed with TV and the media; how is this guy doing a job for those that voted for him? If you feel he is doing a job, I suspect any means towards an end is OK. While I agree with "some" of what he has done, I think the example he is setting and the new acceptable conduct in the white house, is really IMHO so wrong on so many levels.

Yeah Bill had some issues too, but Bill was intent on doing a good job too, watching this administration is like watched the apprentice on TV. That too was an embarrassment, but was more like real life, man not happy with marriage and wife; add some presidential power and wallah blue stained dress and he has some explaining to do.

Why do we and DJT too, have to be blaming or comparing what other administrations or other politicians have done, why can't we focus on the here and now. Nothing can change the past, I'm more concerned out the present and more importantly HOW THIS CHANGES THE FUTURE.

You may have wanted to bring that up during the "BUSH'S FAULT" era

Much as I can’t stand this clown, I still wish he would shut off the GD TV, delete his Twitter account and spend all that free time focusing on governing. His impending trade war is already screwing around with my retirement funds, not looking forward to what impeachment proceedings would do to them.
