I think a lot of people were looking at the Republican field near the end of the primary thinking, “Wow! Those people suck; I could have so easily won this.” One of them was apparently Jeb Bush who said, “This was probably my time.” Would that have been a good precedent, though? Do we really want ever other president from now until the end of our republic twelve years from now to be a Bush? Is conservative mediocrity really so hard to find that we have to keep turning to the same family?
We need an actual hardcore, conservative political dynasty. It didn’t happen with Reagan, so I think I’ll have to start my own. I can be president eight years, and then SarahK can be president eight years (though I’ll make most of the day to day decisions so she still has time to cook me chimichangas). And then eventually Buttercup can be president. President Buttercup — she shall rule with an iron fist, striking our enemies without mercy. Aww, she’s going to make me so proud.
So what you’re saying is we need a family like the Kennedy’s only conservative? Really? That’s what we aspire to here? How about if you champion individual achievement because truthfully once a family endures the political maelstrom as only the Libs can provide why would they want any of their relatives to become involved with it again.
Or next time we can nominate that moron from King of the Hill. After all a cartoon character is pretty much as useful as the president we have now. At least he’ll be able to be in two or more places at one time so he can actually govern and campaign at the same time.
“President Buttercup — she shall rule with an iron fist, striking our enemies without mercy.”
And then shout “Touchdown” with her arms high in the air.
And then I’m like, “Yay, Buttercup!”
(seanmahair – I don’t think Frank means it about a string of Fleming Presidents. It’s just a vehicle for humorous insight. On the other hand, why do I have the feeling Sarah K. would be way harder on our enemies than Frank? Could it be the protective warrior hormones of motherhood? Quick! Sarah K for President!)
oh i thought he was think about someone besides Buttercup. I’d vote for her. I’m fluent in 2 year old and have tons of experience
As you can tell from my typing “thinking…ing….ing.
“My people, I present to you your president, President… Buttercup.”
