| Killiana1a said: Americans do not like political dynasties. If we did, then Ted Kennedy would have been elected in 1980, instead he lost the primary to Carter. Robert Kennedy had a good chance, but a bullet got in the way. We waited 8 years for another Bush. Hillary Clinton was thumped by Barack Obama. The length of time between Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt was well over 2 decades. I have to say George W. Bush has forever marred the Bush name for at least 2 to 3 decades. Jeb Bush in 2012 would give Obama another shot to run against George W's legacy. People forget Obama was elected just as much because of Bush as his own accord. Something tells me Republicans will not muck it up and give him an automatic 2nd term by nominating Jeb Bush. Palin on the otherhand...Help us God if she runs in 2012 because it will mean the death of the Republican Party leaving out a crucial second voice in American politics. One party politics and/or advocating for the domination of one party is downright fascism. Only through multiple competing political ideologies does a country run democratically. |
Not the death of the Republican party, but rather a restructuring. Whether Palin wins or not, 2012 is going to be a year of re-evaluation within the Republican ranks, with parallels similar to what happened to the Democrats in 1968
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
