[CLUE-Talk] Iraq Stuph

[Robert L. Harris]

You didn't vote for him but did vote.  Great, that the way to go.

You are choosing to excercise your first amendment rights, great,
doesn't mean you are right though.  I didn't vote for the CEO of my
company but the Board of directors put him in anyway.  We had a FSCKED
up election and the system followed the guidelines/rules that were
established to solve the problem.  You may not like him, you may not
thing he's in office legitimately.  He is still the President of the US
until his sentance is up.
