I would have been comfortable with another Kennedy, at least at the time, but another Bush or Clinton… NO WAY !!!

Its not good to let yourself fall in the same slime over and over. I still feel dirty from Clinton and Bush. Fool me once curse on you, fool me trice curse on me.

Is it something in the water that makes Jellies dislike re-runs?

Your question gave rise to a worrying thought. Does Dick Cheney have a son?

For myself I am just getting tired of your American Politics .
No matter who gets in,the working slob will pay for it, while the rich pigs sit back and keep getting richer,and the politicians will say they are for the working slob while taking payoffs from their rich corporate buddies.
Merry F-in Christmas and don’t forget to pay your private health care insurance bills.

Read and weep, @flutherother:
“Elizabeth Lynne Cheney Perry (born July 28, 1966), commonly called Liz Cheney, is an American attorney and political commentator. Cheney is the elder daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and Second Lady Lynne Cheney. She held several positions in the U.S. State Department during the George W. Bush administration. She has been politically active on behalf of the Republican Party and is a co-founder of Keep America Safe.”

And of course, there’s always Chelsea.

Merry Christmas, @SQUEEKY2!

Yes and no.

I am against it in theory, but I have to admit if I liked a politician and his spouse or children were similar to them (and me) on issues I am happy to vote for them.

More bad news @flutherother. Joe Biden has 2 boys & 2 girls.

Al Gore has 3 girls and Al III.

Hillary and Jeb ick me out. I would totally love a Elizabeth Warren/Michelle Obama ticket.

I think it should come as no surprise that someone immersed within it might choose to follow a relative in heading up the “family business”. There’s nothing inherently wrong with someone discovering a talent for politics through involvement of a relative.
