5. Well, technically, it would be the actor who played JJ
But the point would be even stronger in that case.

One of the key problems of the Bush presidency is that it is an out and out kleptocracy; their only goal is to loot the treasury and promote outright brigandage in the corporate sector. An actual conservative would have, at the very least, budgetary principles that would prevent the head-scratching theft of public dollars, and an actual conservative would have - I would think - at least some minor quibbles with Bush's outrageous abrogation of the Constitution under his bizarre reading of Article 2 and his various pseudo-legal attempts to seize power from the legislative branch. So, even if the actor who played JJ were a conservative, he would do better than Bush on both those scores.

3. the guy who played JJ is a Republican
the real life actor is a bigger fool than the character he played.

11. Are you serious?
I never was a fan of Good Times and his buffoonish attitude.

12. Big time
I'll never forget seeing him on Dennis Prager's short-lived TV show one night sounding like Bob Grant; I couldn't believe it. He wasn't funny then, either..

14. i didn't know Prager had a tv show
but not surprised it got cancelled. Prager can be worse than Limbaugh and some others because of his condescending attitude. Limbaugh can be viewed more in a comedic manner. he is just too stupid and it's just so obvious he is doing what he does for a pay check.

15. Preger is a supreme blowhard
His show was syndicated in the mid 90's; I think it lasted a season. It was the first time I realized what a vile guy he was..

10. He was great!
I am still weirded out by his comment that America has not seemed to change to him, it is just us. The black community is used to the way it is now for all of us. It was an important point.

:hi: Proud!
