Reply #37: Most of us thought that Jr. would be like Sr. [View All]

Conservative, pro-business, but mostly impotent and uneventful. It's been mentioned a few times over the years that Jr. was actually heading down that same road right up until 9/11.

I am solidly in the pro-Gore camp now, but I have to admit that I was pissed as hell at him in 2000, when he practically treated "environmentalist" like a dirty word in his race to the center. I didn't vote for Nader, but I understood why some did and certainly sympathized with them.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY on the left was predicting that a Bush presidency would be as bad as it has been. Most predicted a repeat of his fathers performance or, at worst, a Reagan wannabe. What we have ended up with was Mussolini (a lot of people like to hyperbolically call him Hitler, but politically his reign has been much more along the lines of Mussolini's fascism). Fascist, nationalist BS.
