Pringles Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Hiram Fong Walter Judd William Scranton Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. James Rhodes John Byrnes Margaret Chase Smith Nelson Rockefeller LBJ Barry Goldwater George Wallace I think the only really bad candidate on this list is George Wallace. So don't think the people lower on my list are bad... (imo), it's just my preference had I been alive in 64. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DakotaHale Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 2 hours ago, Patine said: He had good ideas about electoral reform, and was notably less big on military interventionism. But he deludedly seem to think a Government could be run by the same theories and principles as a big business, and even the worst plutocratic ass-kissers who are still POLITICIANS know that that's a path to utter ruin... Better than running it as a charity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaHale Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 25 minutes ago, Patine said: It never has been run as a charity. No Government on Earth actually has. I think it's time for a civics course for you too - and what the difference between a Government, in terms of mandate, duties, and obligations is, compared to a corporation, charity, NGO, or any sort of private foundation or institution. You're obviously not clear on that. US foreign aid and trade deficit would disagree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The United States experiences a trade deficit due to the imbalance of trade with Santa Clause (billions in presents vs. what is likely millions in milk, cookies, and the errant carrot). The point of me saying this is to make an example of just how ridiculous and economically meaningless a statistic that "trade deficit" is.

The point of me saying this is to make an example of just how ridiculous and economically meaningless a statistic that "trade deficit" is. This reminds me of one of the greatest quotes of all time by Ronald Reagan. The deficits big enough to take care of itself. 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's certainly NOT going to publicly denounce and criticize his Master Mahons openly, if at all... That darn Reagan, giving power to the irresponsible and inherently evil American people!! They clearly can’t govern themselves and must be governed by... other... American people..? Maybe just more elite ones?

Timur Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) I honestly wonder what if Salmon Chase had become the President... Also John Davis in 1924. I don't think he would have made a good President, but I would have preferred him to Coolidge (a rare case of me supporting a Democrat) Edited August 9, 2021 by Timur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
