NO MORE POLITICAL DYNASTIES!
sorry, just felt rock-bottom desperate for a little attention and that title usually does the trick. I'd be actually fine with Hillary as Pres if she's the Nominee, but, again, felt like I could use a little "look at me, look at me, look at me ... PLEASE!!!!!!!" moment.

As you were.

1. Be afraid: If we have a second Clinton presidency ...
We'll have to face JEB BUSH in 2012 ...

Let it all go, people!!!!! Let's have some REAL CHANGE in D.C.!

2. you seriously believe that?
Clinton is a popular President with a relatively successful record. So, the Clinton name is still "good" for most people who remember the "good, ol' days" of the 1990s. But Bush? This Presidency has utterly destroyed that political "dynasty" for decades to come, if not forever. I doubt ANY Bush could run for political office and be able to shake Shrub's long litany of failure.

Just my two cents. And, no, I'm not afraid of a second political dynasty. What DOES frighten me, however, are uninformed fear-mongers.

3. The Bush dynasty is a lot bigger than W.
When they are through re-writing history, Shrub will be deified alongside Reagan. Anybody who really remembers the 80s can tell what a disaster Reagan really was, but he's a god nontheless.

Combine a short attention span with puke ownership of the media, and yes, we could see a Bush come back in '12.

6. True,
and although a woman would be great to have- I can't help think that basically Hillary is running as if she is saying, "NaNanny-BooBoo! It's my friggin turn!" ...Not like a the great woman full of grace that we would need to pull us out of this shit!
