: Does lying matter? I mean, yes, it's bad, we'd rather have our politicians truthful... but it's just NOT going to happen. Clinton may have lied, but he also did a damn good job running this country, no? WE've got a prettydamn good economy right now, and I can GUARENTEE Bush will fuck it up three ways from Sunday.
: I laugh at all these people who use the argument "Al Gore is an arrogant prick and a LIAR!" .... Yeah, okay. And Bush isn't? And this affects his ability to run well?
: No, it does not. It doesn't affect either.

: Bush's stupidity will affect him, however.
: Nah, the US isn't going to go to hell.. It'll just have a sucky economy for about 4 years.

Gore is a liar and so was Clinton. While I'd prefer an honest leader, I'd rather have a good leader who lied than to have a leader who is dumber than I am. While I don't consider myself stupid and actually get fairly good grades I know it takes a really smart person to run a large country well. Bush will screw up the economy for sure. Tip for the day : invest in Russia, they can only go up ... or go back to communism and then you are screwed out of your money aren't you? Anyways, lesser of two evils I guess.
