not affect his political actions. Look at Bill Clinton! Not a slam against him though, he was a bad husband, but a great POTUS.

It's like I told someone else the other night. I know quite a few people from NY & NJ and they have a "fuck you, and if you don't like it, fuck you even harder" attitude. As a Native Floridian, I also see that quality in him from there, too, and I like it.

To each his own, though. I like to see the different opinions and just had my eyes opened upthread about someone I had never heard of. Thanks for your input.

Peace,

Ghost
