That was funny, maybe I was thinking of something I really want to do, like white water rafting. Funnier is I knew white water wasn’t right scandal but I put it anyways because I didn’t have the time to check. oh well. I love the quote though, it seems that the real thinkers and innovators are left behind the million dollar campaigns. Or are the big thinkers and innovators only found from hindsight.

Um, I think you mean Watergate. White Water belongs to the Clintons. I never felt Watergate was that big a deal but maybe I don’t know enough either.
Yeah, what did happen to those kind of Republicans? Conservatives like my dad think nothing’s changed.

Wasnâ€™t Nixon corrupted by greed? Well isnâ€™t Bush corrupted by greed too? I do not see a difference other then Nixon rather rip off his country and Bush rather rape a nation.
I am probably wrong because I know nearly nothing about white water, but just a quick thought.

Exactly. Thanks for sending me the link to the article, it was very interesting. I wonder what ever happened to that kind of Republican?

Isn’t that stunning? For Hunter Thompson to say that he’d vote for Nixon over Bush is really saying something considering his vitriolic rants about the man in nearly every book he’s written.
