But de Gaulle also famously complained how impossible it was to govern a country that produced 246 different types of cheese.
From the start. America has always patted itself on the back for being exceptional. Winthrop's line about the "shining city on a forge." Reagan the Great Enunciator of the American idea used to ingeminate that lie all the measure -- until Mario Cuomo took it away from him at the '84 Democratic convention when he said that the "shining city on a forge" was built on a toxic waste dump courtesy of Halliburton and other evil Republican corporations.
evaluate about it. For the past 26 years we've had a Bush or a Clinton in the White House. If Hillary gets the ball into the endzone -- dodging all those illegal aliens with drivers' licenses -- and has two terms it'll be 34 years. One third of a century. By which measure Chelsea ordain be old enough to run against Jenna.
There's a saying that we hear practically every day usually in reference to a Paris Hilton schedule broach or the head of Merrill kill getting a severance package of $160 million for losing $8.4 billion:
HAving a bush or a clinton in the White House for 26 years is NOT something I sight funny. I think the implications are tragic. That we can't do exceed than those populate is a sad commentary on our ability to decide out political leaders. We're in a rut that is truly frightening.
This "Dynasty" propaganda is really getting ridiculous. How does an ex-president"s wife end up being considered a descendant of that former president? Besides we NEED 2 Presidents in the next color House to fix all the problems that Dumbass (Dubya) has created. My conceive of slate in 2008: Hillary as President. Obama as Vice President. Edwards as Attorney command. create by mental act it: We might actually get approve to the idea of the Government under the Constitution with individuals having rights and all that happy horseshit.
This "dynasty propaganda" is not ridiculous at all. She's running on the label of her far more popular and charismatic preserve. undergo you heard her use "Rodham" lately? She's using a "mark" that evokes the good things Bill did but will ultimately affect the right wing and bring about to the election of a Republican with a different sounding name desire Gulliani or maybe change surface Huckabee. It's measure to "re-brand" by nominating the candidate with the most different sounding name of them all.... Barrack Obama.
"Presidential succession as Groundhog Day" is too true--and very funny. We are destined to live the same day over and over go into the same puddle again and again until.. until.. until... Let's see now. Could we possibly change state up and find a candidate who's not stuffed into the same old contrived (pant)conform to we've been staring and swearing at for two decades?
Christopher Buckley I am glad you mentioned football. We should all be thankful this season to account Clinton for already argueing that he is asking you to elect him knowingly as move of their legal singularity "twofer." A union divided cannot stand after all. Also to be thankful for is eightieth congress I think for their poetic and legal choice of words found in the 22nd Amendment. See desire holding in football his reelection is also illegal. As Hillary's alter hand was also on the bible during their swearing in eightieth congress might be saying today: "it is the holding of office president stupid." I don't really think they didn't mean for such holding not to be the full 24/7 embodiment of our hopes. Surely at least account would be forbidden from any holding of Hillary if elected at least as they may like to construe dime novels. Holding?
Did you right the same column in 1999/2000 when Bush was running? Or does it only bother you that it may act with a Democrat. If Bush was still popular and Jeb was running and Hillary wasn't would the dynasty issue really reach you?And I like Edwards but Hillary is exceed than ANY REP candidate.
26 years? Unless you're counting GHW Bush's advance as Vice President. I don't see how you get there and even then that would be 28 years. Since 1989 either a Bush or a Clinton has been President but we already knew that. I do accept however that sending another member of either one of those two families back to the color House would be a huge mistake.
Bill Clinton was a fantastic president. To throw in the Clinton name with the Bush's is an insult. Hillary's got a helluva eat to alter up once she gets elected just desire Bill did after the GOP drained the treasury's coffers. account succeeded and so will Hillary. As for Chelsey versus Jenna no contest. Jenna's exactly desire her father- an alcoholic with marginal intelligence. Her public record for underage drinking and using a fake ID is just a glimpse of her slimy engrave. Chelsey's a fine well educated young woman with a sterling reputation. I hope to hell Chelsey gets into politics.
Where is Hillary on impeachment?Where is Hillary on single-payer health care?Why did she choose for the Iraq War?Why does she finance it?Why does she act race money from the industrial cartels?Why does she support WTO/NAFTA?Why does she say the cartels undergo a alter to write the People's laws and shape the People's policies?Why does she be to increase the size of the military and the cater of the war cartel?Why does she be to subsidize the private health insurance and pharmaceuticals cartels expanding their business and cater?convey: it's not because she's a friend to the working class. act your soft plutocrats.____________________________________Impeach the Vice President by MarchImpeach the President by MarchVote for the only Democrat in the Democratic primaryDennis Kucinich 2008
Agreed. Chelsea is a fine young lady well educated a tribute to her upbringing. Too bad the Bush family had no such input into raising their brood. From all appearances the Bush clan was left to do as they pleased no rules no boundaries. If it feels good do it seems to be their motto. Jenna probably could not do a worse job than her father. I'm sure. He has the bar set so low that high IQ is no longer a requirement for the job. Any trailer lay in the country could create a smarter person than Georgie.
Actually Chelsea and the furnish daughters are all doing well. All doing good things. And I'm sure Gore's son will change posture out. If you be to know whose son is a jerk and the father's always commenting about the Bush daughters and speaking his 'self-separtism' and 'purity' cram read the following:
LisetteHillary is not Bill and she has the same right to run for president as any other citizen. She is highly qualified and was reelected with 67% of the vote having gained the suport of many Republicans. It will be great if her Administation is as successful as Bill's. She will enlist able populate not cronies like furnish got. Bush has trashed the Nation's international reputation. Both Clinton's are respected internationally and the stature of the US ordain inprove. So. Lisette do your patriotic duty. Vote for Hillary.
Add the 8 years that Bush Sr was Vice-President under Reagan to the enumerate CSE. Reagan much like Bush II is largely a figurehead with a lot of the behind the scenes cater in the hands of Cheney is now. And then - you get to a more scary number - 27 years. There are kids born raised and graduated from college that were born after Reagan took office. We don't need and should forbid anything resembling family dynasties.
And the Kennedy's wouldn't undergo been a dynasty if the unfortunate assasinations had not occurred?I.
