1956--Eisenhower/Nixon
1968--Nixon/Agnew
1972--Nixon/Agnew
1980--Reagan/Bush
1984--Reagan/Bush
1988--Bush/Quayle
2000--Bush/Cheney (had to steal it though)
2004--Bush/Cheney (had to steal it though)

1. I think Jeb will be more of a problem than many here think

in the not too distant future.

I don't trust the Bush family, their lust for power is endless.

[EvolveOrConvolve]

2. I disagree

The Bush name has been tainted, and I'm not sure there's enough time in Jeb's life to rebuild the reputation.

9. I just won't be satisfied until he runs and loses.

If anyone could pull it off, it would be them.

Look at the OP, this is a party that knows no other leadership except that of the Bush family.

I don't think they will go gentle into that good night.

11. When people like my grandpa

who listened to Rush Limbaugh every day for 15 years, and who was a member of the John Birch society at one time, declares that he will never vote for Republican again, the name has been seriously damaged.

13. I don't know if you were around in the 70s

But after Nixon resigned in disgrace and Carter defeated Ford, I thought America had finally learned its lesson.

I thought Watergate had changed things in this country.

But just four short years later they rode back into power and have seldom given it up since.

That was the last time I over-estimated the intelligence of Americans.

I just don't trust these Bush assholes, and I think they are still dangerous.

5. Now there's a dream ticket

Palin/Bush. Oh so dreeeeeeameeee...:puke:

[ShadowLiberal]

14. Depends, we could argue the whole Bush family has proven to be a disaster when put in the WH

[Bucky]

3. You know, it's easier to understand the whole Dubya thing when you realize...

this is the same party that nominated Tricky Nixon five times. These are not healthy people... coming from way back.

4. Wow! Enough of dyNASTIES and

enough of those who voted for them 90% of the time.

[ronnykmarshall]

6. and also there has not been a GOP ticket

since 1976 w/o a Bush or a Dole until this year.

1976 - Ford/Dole
1980 & 1984 - Reagan/Dole
1988 & 1992 - Bush/Potatoe
1996 - Dole/Kemp
2000 & 2004 - Bush & Fuckface

[skooooo]

7. And we can see where that got us....

:crazy:

[Blaze Diem]

8. They've been stealing the election for THAT many years??

Always a crooked bunch.

[wvbygod]

10. Cool! Now all we need is WV in the fold

Last time a Dem won was when WV carried them since Hoover.
