Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton - Enough, Already

People keep asking the question, why shouldn't Hillary Clinton be the Vice Presidential nominee, just as they asked why shouldn't Hillary Clinton be President. Don't you think we have had enough bushes and clintons to last us a lifetime?

Well, not according to smut-master, Jerry Springer, who was the guest on the 'news' programs last night, insisting that Hillary DESERVES to be and MUST be chosen to be vice president. The question is ... why were they asking Jerry Springer.

I have posted about this before, but I think it bears repeating.

Old Man Bush, George H W Bush, was Vice President for EIGHT years under President Reagan, after he had already held nearly every position in the country, including head of the CIA and Ambassador to the United Nations. Not to mention his shady little oil venture, linked to the JFK conspiracy. He had been running for President against Reagan before he ended up as Reagan's Vice President. President Reagan was almost assassinated during that time ... what a coincidence. Then Old Man Bush was President for FOUR years. He lost his bid for a second term to Bill Clinton, which is why there was an overthrow of our government in 2000, when Junior decided he was going to TAKE the presidency back to avenge his father's loss of a second term.

Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas for TWELVE years, and President for EIGHT years. Then he teamed up with his former arch-enemy, Old Man Bush, for charity, and later tried to get his wife installed so he could have a third term as CO-President.

The unelected fraud, Connecticut-born dictator sissypants, was installed as Governor of Texas, probably illegally, for about SIX years, by trashing Governor Ann Richards and using Karl Rove's bag of dirty tricks. He then participated in the overthrow of the government to get himself installed illegitimately in the White House, twice, for a total of EIGHT years.

Dictator sissypants' brother, Jeb bush, was installed as Governor of Florida for EIGHT years. He isn't from Florida. He and geedubya controlled Florida and Texas at the SAME TIME.  And Jeb Bush was Governor of Florida during the fraudulent election of 2000 that resulted in the installation of his own brother into the White House. Were his brother not a total disaster, Jeb Bush WOULD have been running for President himself, now.

Babs Bush, the 'mother of compassionate conservatism', wife of Old Man Bush and mother of a gang of notorious international criminals, was 2nd Lady for EIGHT years, FIRST Lady for FOUR years, and continues to display her enormous pride in the 'accomplishments' of her spawn.

Laura Bush, who ran into her ex-boyfriend with a car and killed him, was First Lady of Texas for SIX years, First Lady of the United States for EIGHT years. Her favorite song is 'Stand by yer man'.

Hillary Clinton, attorney and political activist, was First Lady of Arkansas for TWELVE years, First Lady of the United States for EIGHT years, and has been a Senator from the state of New York, where she was not born, for SEVEN years and counting, where she voted to authorize an illegal, immoral war, and refused to admit she was wrong. She then ran for president, and failed to win the nomination, but just barely. Now she is being jammed down the throat of America as though she and she alone deserves to be Vice President.

Okay, let's count that up.  There has been a bush or clinton in the White House for twenty years now ... bush 4, clinton 8, bush jr 8.

If you count Old Man Bush's EIGHT years as VP under Reagan, that's TWENTY EIGHT YEARS.

If you count Hillary possibly having had EIGHT years as prez, or the still possible EIGHT years as Vice President ... that is THIRTY SIX YEARS that they would have been running the country.

Those 2 families controlled the state of Texas, the state of Arkansas, and the state of Florida, for a total of 26 years, combined.

And, if you consider that Hillary would be a "heartbeat away from the presidency" as vice president .... we are right back where we started.

The other day, I actually heard someone talking about Chelsea Clinton having interest in getting into politics. So they are grooming her to take up where her father and mother left off?  Who's next ... Jeb Bush's son ... ANOTHER GEORGE BUSH?

This "dynasty" business is for the birds. There should be legislation so that no one can run for president who is directly related to or married to a president for at least SEVERAL generations.  

On the other hand, I think it would be so cool if Obama would choose Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of President John F Kennedy, who is heading up Obama's VP search, as his running mate. Now how historic would THAT be? It will never happen, but in her, you have a woman, no slouch herself, an attorney, author, and President of the JFK Foundation, whose father and uncle were both champions for civil rights and both martyred like Martin Luther King, running WITH an African American of mixed race, whose acceptance speech for the official nomination coincides with the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech.  That would be something, indeed.

Is that a contradiction of my "this dynasty business is for the birds", assertion? Not really, because President Kennedy was murdered before he could finish his term in office, and his brother, Robert F Kennedy, was murdered while running for the Presidency. Their younger brother, Ted Kennedy, ran for the presidency and lost. It has been 45 years since a Kennedy was in the White House. As a wife and mother of 3, however, I doubt very seriously if Caroline would even consider such a thing, even if she were asked, simply because she would not want to put her family through the fear that what happened to JFK and RFK might happen to her, as well. 

It's a nice dream, though, isn't it? A REAL dream ticket.
