Interesting statistically: If Hillary won in 2008
and won re-election in 2012 that would mean that the United States would have had a president named Bush and Clinton since 1989--a total of 28 years!!

89-93 Poppy
93-01 Bill Clinton
01-09 Chimpy
09-17 Hillary Clinton

Just imagine if Jeb won in 2016!! Ugh!!

Call your congressman and demand an impeachment.

5. Exactly!
Too many people in the party forget that impeachment should be our number 1 priority. It will fix so many other problems. Instead, the party seems too focused on fixing the symptoms rather than the problem.

11. Write them, call them, and Email them
http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.shtml

Just find your Representative and tell them what you think.
I do not bother with the telephone or email. When I write a letter to my congressman, I keep it simple, one or two sentences, and straight to the point.
"Congressman Boyd, I believe President Bush has engaged in an illegal war against the country of Iraq and should be impeached."

I get back replies that the congressman shares my concerns but the facts do now warrant such measures - blah blah blah ... I keep writing every month or so hoping for the best.

6. Bush - Clinton - Bush - Clinton - Ugh
No offense to Hillary, but 280 Million people in this country and we're getting our President's from two sets of families - something isn't right there!

10. The Republicans have accomplished a similar feat...
with Dole, Nixon, and Bush. Look at their tickets - 1964 is the only exception:

1952 - Eisenhower/Nixon
1956 - Eisenhower/Nixon
1960 - Nixon/Cabot Lodge
1964 - Goldwater/ ??? (anyone know?)
1968 - Nixon/Agnew
1972 - Nixon/Agnew
1976 - Ford/Dole
1980 - Reagan/Bush
1984 - Reagan/Bush
1988 - Bush/Quayle
1992 - Bush/Quayle
1996 - Dole/Kemp
2000 - Bush/Cheney
2004 - Bush/Cheney

Of course, this trend will be broken unless they nominate Elizabeth Dole or Jeb Bush, neither of which is very likely.

12. Goldwater ran with Air Force General Curtis LeMay
It made for an interesting ticket of the batshit insane.

And yeah, that is an interesting trend. Thanks for pointing it out.

14. Nope - Cong. William Miller of NY
Curtis LeMay was George Wallace's 1968 running mate as a third-party segregationist candidate.
