i hate politics

posted June 9, 2004 #

I caught myself listening to G. Gordon Liddy this morning, as having political views means trying to grasp all sides of the argument, and found myself disgusted by the callers extolling the virtue of Ronald Reagan and viciously lambasting anything Bill Clinton did. Trust me, I'm not being liberal here - they both had massive amounts of shortcomings. I'm not trying to hate on Reagan, but to label him as "Our Greatest President" as Mr. Liddy is doing is absolutely insane. What about Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal? or any one of our founding fathers? I contend that Zachary Taylor or Benjamin Harrison are in fact our greatest Presidents.. why? Because you don't know anything about them - which means they came and went without causing much of a stir. Well actually, both of them probably weren't so great either. These people are politicians and obviously have vested interest in one side or the other...
