Would you take Nelson Rockefeller for President?

[Tyler Durden]

Nelson and Happy. SHIT do I miss them. George Romney was also a Moderate to Liberal Republican of the old school. Wonder what happened to "Mitts"?

On with the poll.

Whenever someone accuses me of hating Republicans, I start singing the praises of Nelson Rockefeller. Hey, any big time Republican who's rich to boot and is human enough to shoot the bird at someone is OK in my book.



Could you STAND to have any of these guys as President?

[McCamy Taylor]

1. Where is post 1980 Goldwater?

[CrownPrinceBandar]

2. His nephew is in the Senate..............

John "Jay" Rockefeller (D-WV). He was a great governor. I'd settle for him, even though I'm still pissed he approved Roberts.

3. No. Not one.

Never voted for a republican in my life, don't intend to start. I'd vote for a yellow dog before I'd vote for a republican.

4. Compared to what we have now, I'd take Nelson in a split second

He seems more of a Democrat than Harry Reid did yesterday.

5. I lived under Dwight as President for eight years

Well, I was also eight years old when he left office, so I don't have many opinions about the experience.

But Rocky today would probably be the equivalent of a moderate Democrat, for the most part.

6. Screw every one of them

I could not stand a single one of them, including Rocky. Flipping off hippies does not redeem him in my book.

Everett Dirksen once flipped off my father while Dad was lobbying against right-to-work laws. Fuck Dirksen too.

7. there was also that nagging rumor

that he died during one of those "clinton moments." hooray for him. he gets my vote.
