When his character is shown to be lacking, do we re-elect him or allow him to continue in office?

Character is sometime subjective, so it depends on the situation.

When you lump all conservatives into one basket, you run the risk of being wrong.

Ah, thank you.
While driving the other day, I listened to Arlo Guthrie's 'Alice's Restaurant' on the radio; hadn't heard it in years and found myself giggling about his discription of the courtroom massacre, and also giggling about the notion that he would not be considered a 'green' good guy today.... He was a major litterer (is that a word?) Al Gore should be outraged..... :-) |

When it first came out, we used to play it a whole lot, but until the other day, I hadn't heard it in years. :-)

Alice was/is Alice Waters, a well known chef who was lobbying for years to have a White House vegetable garden - something which Mrs. O. has implemented.

You can make a case for it but I don' think so. Back then we had the Draft, now we don't.

I now have this vision of Been travelling across country to Nevada in a psychedelic micro-bus.
Ssssh, don't spoil it for me. 
The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test.
In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.
