I'm not so into the idea of 36 years of 2 Family Rule
Bush Senior (8 VP + 4 POTUS) = 12 years
WJ Clinton = 8 years
GWB = 8 years

That's a total of 28 years of Two Family Rule already. Ready to up that to 36 with HRC having a potential of 8?

I'd kind of like to mix it up a bit. I think there may be a few other families out there with some potential. Not a HRC hater, just not a 2 Family Rule lover.

1. I think it's time for a Kennedy again.

4. Are you just now figuring this out?
This was almost an insightful observation when it was first made in December 2004.

Glad to be condescended to by greatness such as you.

5. I'd prefer to think of it as
8 years of Bill and 8 years of Hillary

and I certainly don't see what 12 years of Bush have to do with it.

It's not a Bush/Clinton dynasty --the two "families" couldn't be more different.

8. Not to mention Hillary isn't a Clinton, she's a Rodham.
I'm not a Hillary supporter, but this family dynasty meme is just flat wrong and completely lame.

The Bush family WAS planning on a long-term family dynasty, but GW screwed that pooch.

6. Its just the Bush half that sucks. The Bill and Hillary parts would be better than average.
Not ideal but not bad.

Dont let a couple of rotten apples screw up the whole bushel for you.

9. The meme! The meme!
Funny how there is only ONE person who can be injured by it: the first serious woman candidate for president. Isn't it amazingly impressive how it skirts that issue. And how it keeps crawling back on all eight legs no matter how many times you say SHOO!

BUT at least you didn't copy it whole from the talking points. You made a decent attempt to put it in your own words. That's better than the rest of the sloppy efforts I've seen today.
