I was going to quote your posting of 28-Oct-00-07:11 but you can go back and check on it.I take your "far better off" line to mean financially and the Lincoln quote to mean that you look forward to 4 more years of the same policies tkat have left you "better off".
So even though you don't like Clinton, you will vote for his old running-mate so that the legacy can continue. Since you have previously stated that you did not care for Gore, it would be logical to assume from your statement of the 28th that you are voting your pocketbook; in other words, selling your vote to the highest bidder, the one that you feel will give you the best return.
This is something that both parties have used in the past. Never mind ideals, vote your pocketbook!
You go on to say that he hasn't been able to get things past the Republican Congress. I assume you mean things to help the poor and the working man. Check out NAFTA and GATT. They sure helped the working man.
I take it that you approve of Bill Gates from your statement about him. Maybe you should find out what kind of a man he is before you endorse him. To conclude, I had no intention of putting words in your mouth. I was merely giving my interpretation of your posting, stating what it meant to ME.
If your meaning was other than I have stated I feel sure you will enlighten us all.
By the way, it's the job of the opposition party to oppose. The Democrats have done it in the past and so have (and will) the Reoublicans.
