"Then you are better than the people I know on the right, because I had to listen to them bash Clinton for years. (and they're still bashing him)"

When the left dismisses lying under oath by the President of the United States as being unworthy of criticism, much less criminal prosecution, you will find conservatives that are willing to remind you of it. You just did so (dismissed it) and probably didn't realize it. Clinton is going to be a keynote speaker at the Dem convention this week. If you want to talk about real crooks, there's your guy.

"Once I took the time to see where both parties were coming from, I naturally became a democrat."

....then you were leaning very left before you started paying attention.

"And I disagree with your analysis of Kerry. Bush scares me. Ashcroft scares me even more."

Saddam scared me. Zarkawi scares me. Bin Laden scares me. Limp governments who bow to terrorist demands scare me. ...as they should you.

This is WW3. War has been declared on YOU AND ME! The Bush administration is fighting back. Too bad that scares you.
