In 2006 the Democrats got the first female speaker of the house, the first Muslim in Congress (sworn in using Thomas Jefferson's Koran because he's a baller), and I think the first Buddhist in Congress too. And they already pulled the female veep candidate in 1984, but it didn't work out. Just saying... |
When you think about the short time period of Bush's presidency, a lot of shit has gone down, both good and bad.
Most of us know about Ferraro, but that wasn't the point of the thread. The point is that no matter who wins, something is gonna change.

Well, some would argue that no matter who wins nothing will change.

I fully endorse that statement. Overall, I doubt either candidate will impact America much in the long run. They'll have their plate full just cleaning up after ol' Dubya.

Yep. I agree with there ol' buddy. The real discourse IMHO should be "Who will be better at cleaning up after ol' Dubya?" Sadly we have liberals saying Palin is there just because she's a woman, and, conservatives saying Obama is there just because he's half-black. I truly believe all politics on the national level are complete shit. I also fully admit that given the choice between the two piles of crap there is one that I prefer over the other.

I think we're just bitter old people, fkusumot. All these young-uns think that one candidate or the other will turn America on its head.
They won't. In four years, we'll all be bickering about the same shit, except we'll all be wearing Star Trek uniforms and driving around flying cars.
