Our good (hopefully) politcians make it to the top of the class by psuhing the views that resonate most soundly with the broadest base of American voters. Hopefully those views are honest, heartfelt opinions held by the individual politicians - because that is the only way they will ever have a chance of making an impact.

I think we have brought two reasonably good candidates to the election process from the major political parties. I think either of them would prove be good presidents, good leaders and will remain quality human beings throughout their presidency. I prefer one over the other (strongly) - but do not support the entire agenda of either. Bush will never turn the 'choice' issue around (Americans won't stand for it, and the legal battle is far beyond anyone's ability) - and Gore will never close the second ammendment down (for exactly the same reason). Even though each candidate may feel strongly about these issues, I am sure both recognize the reality and accept the voter appeal their stand on the issue has.

Bush's alleged sexual liaison and involvment with a resulting unwanted pregnancy is of no more interest to me then Clinton's alleged sexual liaison and involvement with a resulting unwanted stain. I put them in about the same category. You and I can never know the truth of what happened, and have no reason to be involved!

... and as far a Larry Flint is concerned, I find it very easy to dismiss anything he has to offer, even if it is appealing news.
