And don't forget ... Trent Lott, was it, who thought Strom Thurmond getting elected President in 1948 would have been a good thing?

wait a sec...no. I'd go so far as to say not a single one of our presidents come even close to being an idiot. Nor our congressmen, governors, judges, and other high ranking officials. Why? Because winning an office takes at least some level of intelligence.


Hm? All it takes to win a public office is a lot of money, a lot of advertising, and a lot of mudslinging. A half-retarded chimp could win a public office with a good campaign manager. *nod*


He already did ;)

The Democrats, circa 2004.

Seriously, guys, how did you manage to lose that one?

What's this in the jaws of victory, you say? Defeat? My, we better work on snatching that one pretty darn quick.

Basically, the see-saw was balanced between 'principles' and 'nostalgia' in such a way to prevent return. But then boredom came along, jumped on the nostalgia side, and sent principles flying off into the stratosphere.

This is a hard one. I am just going for the big names:

Aaron Burr - Thought he could be King of Mexico after shooting Hamilton in a duel after cheating with Hamilton's wife
Alexander Hamilton - Tried to set up a tyrannical government not unlike the one we split from
John Adams - Probably the most arrogant founding father
FDR - The New Deal was utterly horrible
LBJ - The Great Society was utterly horrible
Richard Nixon - Enemies list? Destruction of evidence?
JimmyCarter - Utterly and completely incompetent
Bill Clinton - Played the polls instead of standing for what he believed in...oh yeah, there was also some perjury

I give the grand prize to Aaron Burr for being bat crap crazy and because most of the others on my list were politically motivated.
