When I was a small child I asked my father what the difference was between Republicans and Democrats. He said that Democrats pretend to care about poor people and Republicans don’t even bother to pretend.
Is like in old country. Trading man, he say to you, choose a goat to buy for holiday mealtimes. He have two goat. Both goat, she cannot see because she is blind. You choose one goat or other goat, is same thing. Is still useless goat.
Hey, at least the handsomest candidate won, and not the one with the best hair.
I’d say that hasn’t happened since Kennedy, but he was both.
. . . Thomas Jefferson?
Actually, I’d say the American public doesn’t seem to value looks all that much in a president. If you leave out Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, and JFK, they’ve beeen a rather homely lot, and really I can’t say Jackson or the Roosevelts were handsome so much as the adjective “homely” doesn’t fit that sort of face.
Seven out of Forty-four? Do we need any more proof that our system of government owes more to the Romans than to the Athenians?
@Dorothy:
I live in Europe and it always seemed strange to me how any country with just TWO parties could call itself democratic. Maybe because we have over 5 to choose here. But you also vote people who pay at first attention to their own survival, then to the survival of their party and then somewhere behind thick clouds their comes what would be good for all people in a logical way. Money comes before that ; )

And no, Bill Clinton was not handsome. He was charming. I will not be budged from this stance.

Incidentally, that’s two Republicans and Four Democrats and I can’t count.

I’m very like David except I don’t live in Europe. I think he’s hit it spot one.

I’m a Federalist. We think it should be illegal to care about the poor.

Republicans want to do it in a closet and deny that it ever happened.
Democrats want to do it out on the street and don’t care who saw it happen.
