Let's just say Hillary runs and wins...

[Left Is Write]

And let's just say she's a two-termer.

That would make 28 years of the presidency being held by just two families. Would America go for that?

[MrCoffee]

1. of all the concerns about an HRC presidency, this tops your list?

:shrug:

[Left Is Write]

2. Did I say it tops my list? This is the Lounge, right?

[MrCoffee]

4. true dat.

:yourock:

[Left Is Write]

9. Well okay, then.

I feel mollified. :D

Care for a cuppa?

[MrCoffee]

31. mmmm...always

mollification is good. i wasn't being snarky, i promise.

[billyskank]

3. You see, that's why democracy is better than monarchy.

With democracy, your leader doesn't get their position just by being in the right family. :)

:hi:

[BarenakedLady]

5. Well I'm not sure about that...

Lately...

[billyskank]

8. I think

you fell into the sarchasm. ;)

Here, take my hand. :hi:

[BarenakedLady]

10. Hey I'm tired...

I fall for lots of things. But I'll take you hand nevertheless...:bounce:



wait you aren't leading me into the woods or anything are you.....



















I mean if you are I need to get the furry handcuffs.
:evilgrin:

[billyskank]

12. Tired but

indefatigable. :*

[BarenakedLady]

15. Hmmmmm

Am I going to need to add that one to my sig line too? :rofl:

[billyskank]

20. No, you can let them find that one out for themselves

:D

[BarenakedLady]

22. Who is them?

:yoiks:

[billyskank]

23. Homeland security

[BarenakedLady]

24. Ack!

:tinfoilhat: :scared:

Oh great now you scared me.

I need to be held and consoled and it may take awhile. :evilgrin:

[billyskank]

26. ...

:hug:

6. Let's just say cupcakes really do get us pregnant and soy milk makes us gay

Hey, it's the lounge - we can do stuff like this!

[Left Is Write]

7. Don't we have to drink the soy milk first, get gay, and then eat the cupcakes?

[BarenakedLady]

11. What about if the cupcakes are made with soy milk?

:shrug:

[billyskank]

13. Oh man

you are making my head spin :crazy:

[LynneSin]

14. My god don't let Bill O'Reilly hear about that

Maybe we can send him a shipment of Soy Milk made cupcakes!

[Left Is Write]

17. Let's send him a soy chai from Starbucks.

[BarenakedLady]

21. Even better, make them from breastmilk.

mmmmm yummy.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

16. If you're over 46, there's been a Clinton or a Bush running in every

Presidential election you've ever voted in.

But, yeah, we're still living in a democracy...
:patriot:

[Left Is Write]

19. You must mean under 46.

:)

I'm 40 and voted in my first presidential election in 1984, so all of my presidential elections have included a Clinton or a Bush on the ticket.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

28. D'oh!

So busy double-checking my math, I forgot simple diction...

That figure still kind of boggles my mind though. We're merely one tiny step away from monarchy.

[ContraBass Black]

18. If she wins twice, then America must have gone for it.

[BikeWriter]

25. Hee hee hee! Not too likely, I don't think.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

27. How long would

a Kennedy have held the office, if 2 weren't killed and 1 didn't drive off a bridge?

There was a Roosevelt in the office for quite a few years.

[Left Is Write]

29. Teddy Roosevelt served from 1901 to 1909. It was a good many years

before FDR took office, and he served from 1933 until his death in 1945 - about as long as the Reagan/Bush Bush years from 1981 to 1993.

[billyskank]

30. To be honest

it sounds like Amercans have quite a liking for dynasties.

[Left Is Write]

32. The Kennedys could have been a presidential dynasty.

Certainly, the family patriarch would have liked it that way.

I'm not sure Ted would have had much of a chance after John and Bobby, though - who knows. It may have turned out so differently.

The Kennedys still hold a mystique for many Americans that will probably never go away. Some cultural historians view JFK's assassination as the collective "loss of innocence" for Americans.
