1. I raised my three children and have seen ALL my grandchildren born under the watchful

gaze of Bush's or Clintons. As I've said before, enough is enough. My children want a new beginning, a significant change from the bullshit, bargaining and corporate entrenchment. My children want peace and transformation. My children want to be proud of America again and they want hope for the future for THEIR children. So do I.

3. And those 8 years of Bill Clinton were great for me, the Bush and Reagan years

10. The more people use irrational attacks on the Clintons the more likely I am to
vote for Hillary.

11. This was neither "irrational", nor was it an "attack".

17. Oh for god's sakes, vote for Hillary ! This is exactly the kind of support she is counting on.. the
uneducated vote or people who base their opinions on internet posters. Grow up.

5. So
How many local elected officials have been in office since you were born in your area?

By the way there weren't any complaints with FDR elected to 4 terms except by Republicans.

If there wasn't term limit for President what are the odds that Clinton would had been elected to a 3rd or even 4th term? If the economy was good I'm sure people wouldn't be complaining.

9. And look at how well this country has done since 1988!
Another four or (God forbid) eight years of another Clinton (or God really forbid even more Bush idiocy if Jeb Bush runs later), and imagine the USA resembling Mexico, with most of the population living is squalor while a very few well off people live like royalty.

Isnt that the kind of America we all want? :sarcasm:

Had enough yet?

I know I have!

13. So you're arguing that Democrats should break the chain.
That, of course, would leave it wide open for another bush in 2012 or 2016. After all, the chain is broken, and the GOP can start fresh.

Maybe another Clinton in the White House would be enough for the Repub base to say, "Hunh, wait a minute. Sumpin's goin' on here."

26. No. I think it's silly. We've had either a President or Vice President with the last name Clinton or
Bush since I was 6.

20. If Robert Kennedy had won the nomination in 1968
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 01:02 PM by goodgd_yall
I doubt there'd have been so many gripes about the false issue of dynasty. I seem to remember back then, only Republicans brought that up.

22. I find it facinating that so many assume my OP is an "attack" or "gripe". It's an observation.
