Republican "Heros"?? E Gordon Liddy? Ollie? Rush? Bush?
Edited on Tue Dec-09-03 09:19 PM by opihimoimoi
Reagan? Liz Liddy? (suggested by Xray: Spiro Agnew)

Gimme a break, Who are their "Heros"?

Cheney? Ashcroft? Dole? Newt? Hassert? Ari? Arnold? etc etc???

Karen? Katherine? Barbara? Nixon? Qualye? Armey? Scarboro? Gary Bauer

Seems like they got none so they gatta go to the make believe category, actors and wannabees.

19. Well, 2 points, 1, you are right, they do make up shit and 2, someone
mentioned McCain, a War hero from Nam. The one guy who deserves the title and they trash him.

And they accuse us of eating our own. The Pubs invented the practice, made it a popular blood sport for Gods Sake.

Imagine, they chose Bush over McCain? What friggen fools vote Pub anyhows??

Come, we go bar, get a drink and a BLT on T

40. Bush had name recognition
That gave him a tiny edge over McCain.

If you put Ron Reagan, jr. on the ballot, the sheeple would vote for him without having any idea that he doesn't share his father's views.

That might be an interesting spoiler in Florida where they put Monica Moorehead on the ballot in 2000.

Whenever we are watching a movie and one of the major characters completely sells out everyone he loves, his friends, or his country, we declare that he is a "conservative hero".

In the end, Idi had the Mumps, or whatever, took his 84756119837.08 wives and left for SA where the Royal Family gave him asylum. Why? got no clue. He was a bad guy.

46. Idi was unusual...
this sort of strange mix of imbecile and madman. Some of the things he did were just laughable, I mean, the Queen Mum's having a party, you're not invited and you call her up to tell her your on your way in your plane. The Brits go bonkers with security at the airport then you fly your plane elsewhere, Libya. And laugh all in go fun. Too funny just got to laugh at that!

I wouldn't put anything past the Rethugs who occupy our nation's governing offices. They're capable of anything--including rounding up the dissidents, murdering them all, and eating the corpses....
No wonder why they act insane and have no conscience!

24. Everett Dirksen Was An Okay Guy
He was instrumental in getting the 1964 Civil Rights Act through Congress and will probably be remembered in history as a moderate Republican. He is the type of person I would look up to if I were a Republican. Unfortunately, his memory is not celebrated by his own.

41. I would consider Everet Dirkson a statesman.
I remember that gravely voice the curly hair. He was not part of the BFEE like the GOP now in power. He wouldn't have gone lockstep to the beat of the Rush theme music.
