Are You With the Herd? Election 2004

[Bozo Erectus]

Reagan is an American hero loved by all while Bush is sliding into a toilet. Why is that?

I always thought Reagan was popular because his hair was shaped like a Mesopatamian ziggurat. It was hypnotizing.

Behold the ancient Illuminati secret of power - The Ziggurat Barnet!

Theoretically Reagan should be more than doubly hated than Bush.

Reagan is dead and therefore can't do much more worse. A second time bush could give GW time to catch up. Don't forget that the human brain is a selective one. It remembers much more good things than bad things. So its easy for a ex-president who is out of business for ~16 years and now also dead to be much more beloved than the current one.
It seems so easy to get higher in the ratings. See that, bushie-boy. Just drop dead, would increase your ratings quite a lot :devil2:

I couldnt stand Reagan, but if I had to choose between him and Bush, Id pick Reagan in a heart beat. I disagreed with him, but at least Reagan had the best interests of the country at heart. Bush is soley concerned with pumping money from the Treasury into the coffers of a few megacorporations like Haliburton.

 

[CurtSibling]

I have to agree - I did prefer old Ronnie Raygun!

 

[downwithgravity]

hmm...i think i'll separate myself from the herd this election, thereby increasing my chances of being picked off and killed by a pack of hyenas.

i think this best explains why ppl hate bush-he actually said this-Saddam tried killin my daddy now im goin kill him-what kind of an idiot tells this to reporters, also another reason ppl hate him and not other presidents, is mainly because if we had reagen running things we could have nuked iraq and got away with it however if bush did that we might just get nuked by england

Hating Bush is fashionable. Its as simple as that.

If I were an American voter, I'd go for Bush, even if his policies have been by and large too liberal and moderate for my tastes. In terms of past elections, the horse doesn't often toss the rider midway through the race.

A joke pertaining to the quote in your signature:

What follows is a double-secret transcript of the induction interview between Bill Clinton and a recruiting sergeant of the Israeli army:

SGT: Name?

RECRUIT: William Jefferson Clinton.

SGT: Clinton? Is that a Jewish name?

CLINTON: No, sir. It's not. But some people say I was the first Jewish president.

SGT: President of what?

CLINTON: President of the United States. I was also the first Black president.

SGT: Ok. You have to answer a few simple questions. First: Do you have any military experience?

CLINTON: Yes.

SGT: Describe your military experience.

CLINTON: Well, I learned how to salute during the Transition back in 1992. I thought you were supposed to bend your thumb underneath when you saluted; but they taught me to keep my thumb next to my index finger. I got pretty good. I could really snap one off when I stepped off Marine One.

SGT: You never served in the United States military?

CLINTON: Oh! That! Hell, I was the Commander-in-Chief! Of course I served. I saluted and everything.

SGT: Have you ever been indicted?

CLINTON: Well, that depends on your definition of "indicted." I was never indicted by a grand jury.

SGT: Let me ask another way. Have you ever had to testify at your own trial?

CLINTON: No. Absolutely not. Never had to testify. Nope.

SGT: Have you ever had your license revoked or suspended?

CLINTON: Like, driver's license? No. Absolutely not. Nope.

SGT: Any other kind of license?

CLINTON: Suspended? No. Now, a fair-minded person would not consider having SURRENDERED a license - like a, um, I don't know, like, say, a license to practice law - for a brief period of time - a suspension, so, no. Absolutely not. Nope.

SGT: You said that you wanted to die for Israel?

CLINTON: That's not exactly what I said. What I said was "if the Iraqi or the Iranian army came across the Jordan River, I would personally grab a rifle, get in a ditch, and fight and die."

SGT: Did you know that neither Iraq nor Iran border the Jordan River?

CLINTON: Imagine that.

SGT: Did you know that Iraq would have to march all the way across Syria or Jordan before they got to Israel?

CLINTON: Hmm. Really?

SGT: And that Iran would have to cross Iraq AND Syria or Jordan before they got to Israel?

CLINTON: That far. Who knew?

SGT: Mr. Clinton what about the notion of Iraq launching missiles against Israel?

CLINTON: That would be bad.

SGT: But would that qualify as "coming across the Jordan River?"

CLINTON: No. I would have to say not. That would not qualify.

SGT: So it would take an actual soldier crossing the River for you to "grab a rifle, get in a ditch, and fight and die?"

CLINTON: I believe I said "army" the Iraqi or Iranian ARMY.

SGT: So, not a company?

CLINTON: Oh, no.

SGT: Battalion?

CLINTON: I don't think so.

SGT: A brigade? A division? A corps?

CLINTON: You know, I always wanted to ask the difference between a brigade and a division, but I had to practice that saluting.

SGT: Next -

CLINTON: And, there would have to be a ditch. An actual ditch. I said I would "get in a ditch." If there were no ditch, I believe a fair-minded person would agree that Israel had not kept its part of the bargain.

SGT: This is a desert. We don't have that many ditches.

CLINTON: Well, then ...

SGT: These men standing behind you. Are they willing to fight also?

CLINTON: I can't speak for them. They're my security detail.

SGT: (To a Secret Service Agent) Would you be willing to watch this man "get in a ditch, and fight and die?"

AGENT: (Not smiling) We've watched him do worse.

CLINTON: Say, on that point. In the Israeli army, female soldiers get into ditches, too, right?

SGT: (Stamping a form) Mr. Clinton. We'll get back to you.

CLINTON: Does this mean you won't accept me in the Israeli army?

SGT: Yes. That's what it means.

CLINTON: Whew.

 

[Duddha]

Bush would make one ugly women.

 

[Perfection]

Well, one thing I'd like to point out is Kerry doesn't seem to have an Impeccable image among voters, many view him to be slimy and unprincipled, also many view him to flip-flop on issues. So it's not an isolated thing, I voted the "You're an Idiot" option

 

[unscratchedfoot]

So it's not an isolated thing, I voted the "You're an Idiot" option

A perfect choice!

The poll is a very close race with only a single vote now separating the cows, the chimps, and the idiots.

 

[CurtSibling]

Hating Bush is fashionable. Its as simple as that.

And if you are a Republican, bashing Kerry is just sooo in!
