So you may know that I'm a registered Democrat -- and I have another bone to pick with my party. My voting guide (which I mostly ignored this time around) features three Democrat presidents proudly on the cover: Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, and John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
The guy who got us involved in WW2, the guy who dropped the bomb, and a noted philanderer.
Of course, those three are better than anyone the Republicans could feature -- Hoover, Nixon, and Dubya?

I know I'll be ducking some tomatoes here, but isn't it hard to find a politician, Democrat, Republican or otherwise that hasn't been linked to SOMETHING negative?
Janet makes a very valid point... about the negative stuff, that is, not necessarily about the tomatoes...
Also, it seems the Democratic party is sometimes just on the verge of implosion. for example, you combine the trifecta of flawed geniuses with the "they-can't-be-serious" tone of their brand new slogan: America can do better! and you've got a seriously underwhelming and less than inspirational view of the future...
Add me to the agreeing column. I think that politicians once elected are removed from their constituents and live in an ivory tower.
On First Looking Into Fitzgerald's Indictment
A Pre-Emptive Poem
From A Keats Ghost To Gothamimage:
Much have I witnessed the Scandal of Bush
And many awful lies and outrages seen;
Round many breaches have I been
Which bards in fealty to Republic hold.
Oft of one great Injury had I been told
That worried the Founders in repose;
Yet did I never see it so clear
Till I heard Fitzgerald speak out loud and bold:
Then I felt like some Justice on High
When a pure Truth comes into his view:
Or like Honest Abe when with wise eyes
He saved the Union - and all his men
Look'd at each other with great relief -
Silent, upon a stillness at Appomattox
