I am sure it was confusing.

OK I got it. Thanks for the clarification.

But, my age has nothing to do with your failure to communicate effectively! It is true marijuana was not an issue in the elections of Clinton and Obama. But, surely you must admit the media did not apply the same standards to Bush's DUI or cocaine allegations. They just failed. Indeed, you and others might out fox me. But, I'll do my best. If I stumble, perhaps, others will take the baton and continue to wage the war of ideas against liberalism. It is worth it for my children and grandchildren. If we, as a nation, don't soon turn this country around, we'll have a revolution or tyranny, IMO.

If we don't turn this nation around we will have an oligarchy of the wealthy and a tyranny of the theocratic. I noticed "out fox" is in italics. I gonna change my avatar to a fox.

Obama wrote about his drug use in his first book. This was talked about at length during the 2008 campaign.

92tide,

I must have been hibernating during the 2008 campaign.

I'm not from Missouri, but SHOW me documentation that this was talked about at length during the 2008 campaign: ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc.

Re: No offense intended, DiamondDust.

I'll bet $5 that Banjeaux is an old, banned member. I have a particular one in mind.... one that called me a watermelon quite frequently..

Re: No offense intended, DiamondDust.

LOL Touche Banjeaux. You turned that back at me.

I'm talking about drug use mattering to voters when they cast their ballots. In this instance, I care nothing about the great media boogeyman you obviously live in total fear of each and every day... but run along and go fight your war. Have fun. I've been hearing people trumpet a potential "revolution" for years and years now. If you really want one, what's stopping you?

Oh don't look... liberalism is behind you! Run for the hills!

Watermelon? I suppose some could claim that is racist. I don't call folks names. My mother taught me better.

BTW, what have I posted that would make you think such. At least you have the courage to do that, right. Just between us and members of TideFans. Or, in a p.m., maybe. Seriously, you're not comfortable with sharing ideas with an old obnoxious gas producer, who has ideas different from your own. Huh? I'm not trying to pick a fight. I try to obey the rules and stay civil. Fair enough?

Oh! Look for p.m. with my PayPal bill. Hold on! I'll let Staci weigh in. Perhaps, she will choose to claim your money.

It's not really a particular thing you said, but more of your tone and aggression as shown above.

She was NOT some 'back office agent' whatever that means. She was a trained covert agent (at great expense and time) who spent a significant amount of time on location within middle east countries. She was outed for the sole purpose of getting back at her husband.

No she wasn't and the first person to ever speak of her was her husband. I know many in the media and Hollywood made her out to be as you described her (covert, please.) but that was far from the truth. She was strictly an analyst (back office agent is the meaning of an analyst) who did serve on at least three continents going thru info that she was ordered to process and that was presented to her. She never gathered info that led to info of explosives use or info on the whereabouts of OBL. The two people who outed those who did that serve in the present day President's cabinet and they must answer for such acts in the media in much the same manner that VP Cheney and aide answered for theirs! I mean if you are a person who wants fairness in our country for economic success, shouldn't political coverage be fair as well.
