Random Politics & Religion #13

The electoral college certainly did.

I think was more-so referring to being extremely reviled, which he probably wasn't the most reviled. Of course the democrats hated him it is both parties job to hate any president representing the opposing party.

Reviled -criticized in an abusive or angrily insulting manner.

Context Niko.

maybe he thought reviled meant something else... /shrug

I used it correctly in the sentence and then provided two examples!!!

Is this the ffxiah spelling tournament?

THEN PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE THAT PROVES THAT I AM WRONG!!!

Was the context I was replying to not the reviled part. Every president is reviled.

The next word is "cornucopia".

it's where words go to lose all meaning and then die ...

THANKS OBAMA.

/lowers head and shakes it sadly

I give up...

From the cornucopia of evidence I give you... the shoeing!
the shoeing

I put my spaghetti and meatballs in a cornucopia before I eat it.

Debates would be more interesting if there was some mandatory shoe-throwing mixed in, maybe triggered by a lie-detector.

We would have ran out of shoes last night.

Followed by "plethora"

I think bush jr. Actually became a lot more likable after his presidency... During it was just hearing about how truly dumb he was or that he was just good ol cheneys little puppet... The bushisms were pretty great though...

Andrew Jackson was LATER reviled as "The Slave-Owning, Indian-Killing Seventh President" but that was after he left office...

I'll just be over here trying to prove myself wrong for the next half hour or so...

I will never stop laughing at the major parties shooting themselves in the *** with subpar candidates and horrible tactics.

2000: Hey Al, make sure to properly distance yourself from a supremely popular two term President
2004: Anyone but Kerry runs against W and it's a landslide victory
2008: Maybe vet your VP choice a little more thoroughly in the next life, John
2012: Romney was fine until he decided to disavow the things that made him acceptable to the center (and if he runs in 2016 instead, I think he ends up the nominee and eventually President)
2016: Trump beat sixteen challengers in the GOP primaries with no ground game and no party support, and he's still going to lose by historic margins to someone with higher disapproval than the sitting President

The only decent candidates in the last twenty+ goddamned years are '92 Clinton, '00 Bush (pre-war, "Compassionate Conservative" edition), '08 Obama (who really is a supremely gifted campaigner) and '12 Romney (pre-lurch to the right).

My view could be a bit skewed on this. I didn't really hear a lot about the Bush hate until the end of his second term but I was also maturing during his presidency. I've seen him get a lot of unwarranted hate.

Cheney on the other hand, can just go burn.

History will be much kinder to W and Obama both, than contemporary culture has been. I think the sheen on Clinton I eventually fades more than it already has.

obama had a great campaign team. obama the person, off teleprompter, comes off as an arrogant douchebag. But his team realized this and never let him go off script. they tightly controlled media access and even photographs.

they didn't fall into the "Kerry trap" with the skiing in vail like a douchenozzle footage and stuff like that

Sure; but one of Obama's real strengths is in proper hiring and delegation, so I don't necessarily count that as a point against him.

neither do I.... his campaign team was awesome...

I feel like we should be arguing more...

Yeah, this is too tame for P&R. We need a catalyst.

*ahem*

"Nuh uh."

Everything you say is wrong, your opinion is biased, you have biasand in your vagina and no one wanna grab you by the pussy!!! *flips a chair*
