Random, stupid things on your mind

I hated him when he first ran for governor in 1966. I think I had eight chances to vote against Carter and took advantage of every one.

He’s just a volunteer. He didn’t start it.  That’s about the only thing he did that I have respect for.  I actually voted for him in the first election I could vote in.  My frontal lobe wasn’t fully developed.

Prejudice I imagine.    If Ford went to Northwestern, I'm sure he would have got your vote.

Ford was better than most gave him credit for. I saw him when he flew into Plattsburgh AFB to visit the US athletes during the 1976 Summer Olympics which were in Montreal.  He lost that election when during the debates he said the Poles were a totaloy independent and autonomous people. I’ll never forget the reaction that Jimmy Carter had. 

I actually knew what he meant but he never recovered. Nuanced answers don’t win debates.

@TigerLily seems to dig football players.  Wonder if she would have set ideology aside and just voted based on pure studliness?

[Spookcat]

You guys hate peanut farmers. Didn't Jimmy start habitat for humanity?

I read a news thing a short while back about how he was actually helping build a house.

Whom

Like a vacwhom!

Hahahaha.

Explanation:  We want him to fall and die.  He costs taxpayers millions of dollars each year for his protection and all those goddamn medical appointments!

Did you say that about President Bush, Sr.? and Barbara Bush? They cost a fortune in protection and lots of medical bills, too.

I think anyone who has been President, regardless of party affiliation, deserves that protection and support after their term is over, don't you?

I might have thought that before Trump.

Please elaborate?

I was being flippant. Of course we should protect and serve our former presidents but Trump is a farce of a prez and I would prefer not to spend any more time, money, or concern on him.

Ah well, quite right. I stand corrected.    +1

But seriously, I'm not sure he wouldn't prefer to use his own people and do his own thing rather than be subject to people protecting him who he doesn't trust. He's been very vocal about not trusting the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service, so I'm not sure what he might prefer. He certainly is a different kind of personality than what we've historically dealt with post-Presidency.
