If they got him, it's *over*.......for the dems. :) (and when the market opens, be sure to invest some cash in Stetson)

Hey Slang, go get your history book real quick...

February 1991: President George Bush leads US to victory...approval ratings through the roof.

November 1992: Loses to Bill Clinton

It's the economy, asshat. :)

That was before 911........assneck :)

After a couple days of seeing the Iraqi people waving US flags in the streets and repainting the Saddam pics everywhere to "W" pics, the economy will start coming back again.

Then maybe I can retire from the petrol distribution biz and get back to my cushy office jobs , like before 911.

Maybe you could be a Bush propaganda regional (Philli) rep. I'll bet the pay is good.

Me? Bush representative? Yep, you are officially an asshat.

"It's okay Miss Priscilla. No work to do yet tonight. Nobody's spelling ass with a "z" here."

(and before you get on to wondering why I have a rifle with a girl's name, 1. It's traditional and 2. I'm not the one who named her. She was a gift too.)

oh...did I say "asshat?" I meant "dumbazz!"

Oh, and both of you ... it's not about winning the war. It's not about the economy. It's about who presents a more compelling, charming, and yes, CUTER image on television. Modern Politics is not about WHAT you have to say, but how good you look while you're saying it.

SYCAMORE ... that's IT. You are in time out, young man. Go to your room. (oh. you're probably already there.)

Or how frightening you make the other guy out to be.


At what point did I totally pirate this thread?

So...how would you explain Dubya? Seriously...

Dumfuks like me reeely liked his strategery. It's kinda like seeing us in the white house instead of some pussy assed intellectual.

You asked, I answered.

Dubya who ran against Mr. Charisma himself? I thought it was obvious enough not to need further clarification.

Apply my theory to other political matchups. (at least since the dawn of the age of television). It really, really works.

How do you think Jesse Ventura became a governor? Political acumen? Pshaw!

*raises rifle to shoulder* ...

(oh. wait. slang's calling HIMSELF a dumfuk that time. that's allowed. *sigh*)

I wonder if the "Attack Iraq!" video game will be worth getting in a few months.

Indeed. The fact that the electoral college results were a dead heat, and that the outcome of the popular vote conflicted with that of the electoral college vote, just go to show exactly how much American voters (not to be confused with American citizens) really didn't like either one of these men.

And let's rewind to 1996... Bob Dole? ppft. I don't think I'm being original when I say that our primary system seems designed to weed out the most interesting and viable candidates. I think the only reason Clinton got through was that Bush Sr.'s massive popularity after Gulf I scared all the traditional democratic contenders (an early example of what I see as the increasing spinelessness of the Democratic party).
