Default Castro steps down

USA today quotes--
"
I'm not a fan of Communist dictators, but at least Castro wsn't two-faced about his ruthlessness and hunger for power, unlike Cheny & Bush Jr, who, except for minor setbacks and irritations such as the Constitution, Bil of Rights, and a two term limit, need to lie and install fear in their people to achieve their ultimate gains."


OUCH!

This just in.. a fly landed on a pipeline.. gas prices will hit $4/gallon to compensate. Bush owns a bank in Switzerland now.

Default What he said

Not all of us are as well informed about the political aspirations of our current administration as you so we don't trot them out on a gearhead forum.

I can remember when Truman was prez and believe me, we've had a few worse than Bush....

Do you really hate life in this country that much? You seem to do a lot of complaining about it. Just asking.

I can name three but as I said, this is a gear head forum.
Politics belongs on a political site. I'll argue politics all day long with you there.

I think blanco was being sarcastic, mocking the anti-bush article. I might be wrong? Either way, Castro stepping down is up for discussion. We bs about everything in this regional forum so...

Castro = Old, hateful, not trustworthy, communist. We helped put him in office and got stabbed in the back. I hope his brother has more brains but I doubt it.

Threads die when no one responds. They get longer when provacative statements are made: Three Presidents worse than Bush since Truman?? I'd like to know what yardstick you are holding up to measure? Just PM me.
