The original poster seems to take offense at certain politicians for being insincere actors. Was just curious if he has any objectivity and extends it to members of both parties or if he's just a typical partisan party hack.

I disagree. If you were just trying to flush out my thoughts, you could have either asked, "So, do you think Clinton was a good actor, or a bad actor?", or fill your head with Risperdal. Flush, flesh, tomatoe, tomahtoe, Goldberg, Iceberg, they're all the same. What you attempted to do was to play a round of that well-worn game I affectionately call "But what about the blow-job?" No, thank you.
I am deeply offended by those appointed or elected to high office and use their position, not to fulfill their commitments or pledges, but to simply run their own game. Government on all levels is full of these, of both major political parties. They use their office as bully pulpit, get invited to speak at occasions such as those taking place on 9-11-06 (that's 60-11-9 to you) to add some esteem and sense of "...the people, by the people, and for the people," then use the occasion to gain a few yards. I am almost certain that, yesterday, there were some democrats doing the same thing, but I didn't see any on the news. I saw Cheney and Rumsfeld, the people in charge. Did you see any democrats on the news doing the type of thing, poorly, that I saw Dick and Rummy doing yesterday?
Finally, I regret using the term "actors" in the thread title so loosely. Acting is a fine art, and a good actor can draw you in so easily you are not even aware you are going into a fantasy world. He77, you want to go!
But ever since Reagan, some pols think anyone can pull it off.
Anyone can't. Acting is not simply telling a lie, playing a game. Good actors find a way to crawl into the skin of their characters. It's a full time job, and you shouldn't even try it if your attention is focused on premptive invasions, but not occupations.
