I am sick and tired of two names in American politics: Bush and Clinton

[Nimrod2005]

Honestly, I really am...

Just don't want to hear them anymore, hear about them, which marriage is good or bad, which one has the better daughters, what the fuck they wear, what party they had, who loves the bible more...etc.

Fucking sick of them, they are not better or more important than anyone else in this country!!!

[leftchick]

1. DYNASTIES!

They are What Makes America Now!

:(

[The Straight Story]

2. lays out kinda like this

reagan/bush, reagan/bush, clinton, clinton, bush, bush,.... 24 years of similar names.

[TahitiNut]

I think you mean ...

reagan/bush, reagan/bush, bush/potatoe, clinton, clinton, bush, bush

[The Straight Story]

11. Doh - yep - easy to lose count thesedays :) (nt)

[Broken_Hero]

27. ...........

Ha, :D I still remember the E incident with Quayle....what a moran.....(the potato's incident).....that man, made a toaster oven seem like a genius.

[TahitiNut]

31. Little did we know that Poppy ...

... had a VP almost as stupid as his son.

[CrispyQ]

42. OMG!

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!!!

:thumbsup:

[TahitiNut]

43. I'm (seriously) glad I could be of service.

Laughter is a VERY good thing. :-) Giggles and hugs ... the world could use all it can get.

[illinoisprogressive]

3. I thought we fought a revolution so we wouldn't have royalty. the people are stupid.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

5. Too many people want rulers.

Not leaders. Rulers. It's the end result of the culture of leisure, methinks. People just don't want to think about candidates and the ramifications of voting for them. Don't want to analyze their records and positions.

[Maine-ah]

21. I think it all has to do with the dumbing down of america

that started when Reagan became pres. My father was a teacher then, and they were continually being told that they needed to lower their teaching standards because too many kids were failing classes. They were still teaching civics then too. The dumber the population, the less they care about what their government is doing, and the easier it is for the bastards to get things passed like IWR, NCLB, vetoing health care for kids, wire tapping, ect....I just learned our school system did away with the gifted and talented program. WTF? I have a niece who is just twiddling her thumbs in class while other kids are still doing their work. The teachers can't give her extra work to do in class, but offer to send her home with stuff. The thing is, she's not bored at home, she's bored at school.

Make 'em dumb, and they won't care.

8. If the revolution means we can elect our president, that must necessarily include

even people related to past presidents, if that is the choice of the electorate.

[parasim]

12. Of course, assuming the "electorate" really made that choice.

More of the electorate voted for Gore in 2000, yet we still wound up with a Bush...

[mondo joe]

13. I agree that Bush had a stolen presidency. But if Clinton is invoked, we are talking

about a hypothetical presidency. And it could be that's what the electorate will choose.

[Blashyrkh]

47. Even the former First Lady? We ain't talking a long lost cousin.

[shireen]

4. Chelsa Clinton 2020!

:tinfoilhat:

followed by one of the Bush twins ... HELP!!!!!

[Nimrod2005]

39. I am moving to Canada!

[kurth]

6. Only two names are fit to rule over 303 million Americans?

You're right. Fuck that shit.

[JMDEM]

7. Then let's just settle on just one ...

Clintush.

Nah, the right wingers would want their guys' names first, so probably Bushton. Or maybe Bushinton. George Bushinton. Yikes.

[parasim]

9. I totally agree with you.

My youngest son, has not known a current president to have any other name than Bush or Clinton.

and he is now an adult!

[Peregrine Took]

10. Me too. You mean in all of America - these are the best families that we can

find to be our leaders? Methinks these are simply two of the cagiest and most opportunistic.

[LittleClarkie]

14. Cough

Whatever do you mean?

(points nonchalantly at sig pic...)

[Sarah Ibarruri]

15. And that horrifically stupid Jena Bush. Writing a book? Doesn't all of it make you sick? nt

[SyntaxError]

36. What is she writing a book about?

It doesn't bother me though. I wouldn't read it, but there is no reason to be sick over someone writing a book...

[Sarah Ibarruri]

48. How important it is to be careful in sex.

This is a woman that was running naked down the halls of an Argentinian hotel and ended up getting kicked out of the country. She spent her life drunk on her ass. She's got the depth of a circus clown. Can't blame her. Look at her parents. Shallow Central.

[Swamp Rat]

16. ME TOO!!! ............... you say you want a revolution ..............

ME TOO!!!

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free you mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right

[understandinglife]

17. # 5 and could not agree with you more. Those two names == CORPORATISTS of the 1st order.

Please Mr Gore ... transform the process as a Presidential campaigner; transform our role in an ever more connected world, as President.

[catmandu57]

18. Me three

For no other reason that alone is why I can't support hillary.

[Harper_is_Bush]

19. I'm sick and tired of nonsensical hit pieces against Hillary.

If you disagree with her positions and platforms, then spell it out.

Telling people you're "fucking sick of them" is a cheap attack, and one clearly designed to cast Hillary as another Bush.

Honestly, it's cheap and it's silly.

[saracat]

22. Why? Don't we retain the right to be "fucking sick of them"?

I think not wanting to have so many years of the samre two families is a perfectly valid argument. I do nort approve of dynastys in this country. Personally, that is not my only reason that I do not support Hillary.I have many but this is a valid argument.I notice that none has defended the choice of two family rule.What would the defense be?

[Harper_is_Bush]

32. I think it's a dumb argument. Not only that, it's a cynical and deceitful argument...

..because Clinton is not Bush, and to complain about the "same two families" implies that the families are the same.

[saracat]

35. Some may think so.I think that so many years of "any " family running things is wrong.

and I don't give a damn who they are. We need new blood.This is not a monarchy and these people are not artitocrats. I wouldn't support the idea if it were Bush Clinton Bush Kennedy etc. We have more people than just a few families. It is not a "stupid" argument because it is against confining the power of our nation into the hands of a very few. That is just wrong. And it violates the spirit of the Framers of our constitution.JMHO.

[ShortnFiery]

20. Same here! Keep the political royal families of Bush and Clinton out of the WH. n/t

[bonito]

23. Kick & R

:toast:

[nadinbrzezinski]

24. I think we can do better

even if dinasties have existed from the begining

They just have gotten worst

[Martin Eden]

25. Pretty shallow rationale ...

... for rejecting a candidate.

[Nimrod2005]

38. I will help you reframe: it is rejecting a system, it is fighting a downward spiral to hell...nt

[Martin Eden]

41. Then expound on those themes ...

... and how Clinton is representative of the system and its downward spiral to hell.

Your original post contained little but disgust at the names Bush & Clinton.

Keep in mind that if Hillary is the nominee, the Repuke smear machine will try to exploit the "sick & tired of the Clintons" meme. I hope she's not the nominee, but I'll take her over anyone the Repukes nominate.

[seabeyond]

26. honestly.... me too. n/t

[Ilsa]

28. Me too. Don' t like it one bit, either one, even though I'll probably end

up having to vote for Hil in the general election.

[Octafish]

29. Add in Pruneface and it's pretty much it for the last 28 years.

And we all know that the CIA's White House Action Officer was VP Out of the Loop Poppy.

[soothsayer]

30. there must be 20 candidates and I'm sick of all their names, lol!

campaigning too early for me

[girl gone mad]

33. We're officially entering banana republic territory.

I mean, come on, nominating the former first lady?

[SyntaxError]

37. Maybe if she wasn't politcal...

If you would have asked someone ten years ago if they thought Hilary would ever be president, they would probably say "I dunno, maybe in a ten years or so.." :P

[SeattleGirl]

34. Amen, Nimrod!

So am I.

[Froward69]

40. Here Here!!!

[StrongBad]

44. Though I lament the fact that 2 families have had dominance over US politics recently

I can't fault Hillary for the fact that she's (in my opinion) the smartest and most experienced candidate out there that agrees (in general) with most of my views. It's too bad that in a nation of 3 million nobody else can rise to the top now but her.

[Nimrod2005]

49. You think she is smarter than Obama? or Biden? or Richardson?

[Rhythm and Blue]

45. You're big on the five-line anti-Clinton flamebait, aintcha?

[AnotherMother4Peace]

46. Not me - Our country was in such great shape when Bill was in office.

I long for those days. With Bush - our country is in the shitter ('scuse my French). Can't ever, Won't ever compare the two of them. The republicans go around saying "oh they're both the same, both bad - NO - Bush is the anti-christ - He is an evil-doer.
They say this to get the stink of themselves.
