Cute couple. Cute kids.
How'd they go from Grand Canyon vacations to ruining the country?

1. Oh please! This couple never had to WORK at attaining the
American "dream." Every last one of them was born on third base and thought they had each hit a triple.

They have NOTHING in common with the majority of HARD WORKING Americans.

3. Actually, they were born on home plate.
They were just too drunk to know what was going on, so the umpire gave them a freebie.

6. So you admit those are cute kids?
Just joshin'. My point was how banal it was. The irony is not that they're all that different from most Americans. The irony is that, if you study history, from the religious intolerance to the racial atrocities to the Indian wars and dislocations, to the anti immigrant riots... they're very much part of a strain of our people. Still, I'm shocked at how pretty they are to look at. And at how that alone lets them fool the voters who really ought to know better.

On edit: from the website where I found the Photo -

"Her number one cause, however, is family literacy. She believes, and so do the experts, that if more people could read, write, and comprehend, we would be that much closer to solving so many of the problems plaguing our society today."

7. Nit: that's not Poppy and Barbara. It's actually Babs holding a dog
Hart to tell, but look close enough and you'll see that's not the former president, Bush Sr; it's a dog.

9. maybe they were innocent?
jeanne garafalo doubts dubia was elected even in texas...there are some who doubt a dupe like ronald reagan could get elected as potus w/out an 'october surprise' type scheme to affect it. the system is corrupt...you can see it. the corruption started when they murdered jfk. reagan, and now bush, are inevitable results of jamming the gears, which, finally, has exposed the entire lot to unmitigated evil (kkkarl rove, trapped like a rat with the nuke triggers)
bush isn't the only ted bundy running around, hell, a good portion of the white male media sound like ted bundy....
