Did you ever think you'd see a day where Dubya would actually look appealing

[msallied]

standing next to the two Republicans who are looking to replace him? My god... Trust me, it's not saying much, but Bush looks like a bastion of youth, charm, and good sense next to McCain/Palin. Yikes!

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Totally fucking bizarre, but you're right. And Bush makes me pine for Nixon.

So that speaks doubly ill of McPalin.

2. Nixon was a flaming socialist

next to today's neocons.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. And as honest as a nun in comparison, too.

Weird.

9. Hell, he was a socialist compared to today's Dems. His health-care plan

was roughly equivalent to Hillary Clinton's health-care plan, and her plan was liberal among Democrats.

10. Indeed. Nixon wasn't too much of a conservative

Enacted the EPA and the DEA. Allocated more DEA funds for drug treatment than any other president. Affirmative Action was much more stringent. He wanted to replace welfare with a guaranteed annual income.

I mean sure, he was a corrupt Republican bastard, but he had a lot of liberal policies. In some respects, I would compare him to a lot to Bill Clinton, a Democrat president who enacted a lot of "conservative" policies like welfare reform, DOMA, and the deregulation of telecom and banking...

3. I have thought the same thing.. scary

[msallied]

5. LOL! Strange how we think things couldn't get any worse from the GOP...

And then, amazingly enough, it does.

4. I was thinking the same thing last night. Never thought I'd miss BUSH??????!

God help us. PLEASE!!!

6. Just goes to show you how FUCKED the GOP ticket is this time

[msallied]

8. I look at it this way. McCain is Bush, but in much poorer physical health.

Which is a bloody friggen nightmare.

11. Ok, someone needs a nap. We're getting delusional here

Yeah, it could always be worse but I'd have to travel a long way to get to "well at least Bush wasn't as bad as...."

[msallied]

12. Not delusional at all. McCain is a surly corpse who likely won't survive his first term

And will be succeeded by an inexperienced, Pentecostal cultist. That, to me, is scarier than Bush. My point is, I didn't think it could get worse than Bush, and it has.

[shadowknows69]

13. I think both are about equally scary

Due to the fact we know it's actually some evil fuckers in the shadows that are pulling the strings

[msallied]

14. I have always lived with the notion that Cheney was scarier than Bush.

Palin, who is essentially Cheney with lipstick, has a much more REAL chance of assuming the "throne" as it were. THAT is terrifying.

[TwilightGardener]

15. Oh, believe me, if those two jackasses win, Bush will seem cautious and rational in hindsight.

[TooBigaTent]

16. NO. Shrub does not look appealing - just not as disgusting as the two cretins running against

America.

But, no matter how the election turns out, Shrub and his junta will merrily ride off into the sunset with their stolen billions and never look back, because there will be no one in their rear-view mirror coming after them to hold them responsible for their crimes.
