*** What did you grow up listening to, Dale? Are you possibly a product of your upbringing, inclinations, and environment as well? ***

I grew up in a lower to middle class family. I have one brother. Our parents divorced when I was 10. My father watched wrestling and Hee Haw. He smoked three packs of Pall Malls a day. He ate potato chips by the bagful and beer by the case. My dad never hit us. As a matter of fact he didn't do much of anything. We were pretty much ignored, me more than my brother who's younger. We never had anyone come over. I took up sports to fill my spare time. I never even knew politics existed until the Clinton years. I thought he was great. Times were good and Bill was at the helm. Then along came Monica. "NO WAY!" I said. Then I started to pay attention. More and more, every day. Then came his admission. I was furious. Then I saw him pathetically refuse to accept responsibility. I hate being lied to. I hate being duped. I began to distrust those in his circle. I saw him give pardons to criminals because they lined his pockets. I saw the MSM doing everything they could to protect him and vilify those who were trying to expose him. I continue to see it happen every damn day with the new crop of democrats. If a republican does something wrong, they're exposed, humiliated and they resign (Lott). If a democrat screws up, at best they appologize and go into rehab. The worst deny and deny until it all blows over. I could go on but I don't want Reg ragging on me.

That's my story.
