We've survived dirty politics before.

Here's a little reminder that when we start ranting about how low our politics have sunk and how the founding fathers would be ashamed, well, it ain't neccessarily so.  :up:

In addition to this it should be remembered that Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton both started newspapers for the express purpose of smearing each other (Jefferson loved to accuse people of being closet Monarchists), and of course Bush and Kerry have a long way to go to catch up to Hamilton and Aaron Burr in the venom department.  If it does come to a dual my money is definitely on Kerry.   :rolleyes:

In fisticuffs, i would bet my money on George though! I heard somewhere that GW is the STRONGEST president we've ever had?  And I don't mean politically.  He dosen't look that muscular to me.

Now how would anyone determine who the strongest presidents?  It sounds like a Monty Python sketch.
