Some Liberals have good in them

For some of you who believe that the liberals have good in them let me share at least some of my experience with them when I was working in DC.

I was working right in the White House the last 4 years of my military service and I retired in 1994. I spent two years with Bush Senior and then the last two with Clinton.

From the White House I took a job as a Telecommunications Manager for the US Treasury right next door to the White House.

The second day there I was asked to project manage a phone answering / recording project having to do a gun control bill that Clinton and his Treasury Secretary Bentsen at the time. The idea of the phone answering project was to record the public’s opinion pro or con of the gun control bill. Well guess what? They asked me and the other ones sitting it up to make sure we recorded all the pro calls but we were to record no more than 5 of the con votes and simply record over the 5 repeatedly. The statement made was no one wants to hear the raving of a bunch of right wing NRA gun nuts!

Needless to say I did not agree with that and went up the chain with that. I am not exactly how it all ended all I know is that I was taken off the project by the end of the day.

I won’t apologize when the truth hurts but most of us know we are living in a real world and not Never Never Land.
