Yeah, I remember "Madly for Adlai".
A little lame, but the response to "I like Ike".
I think the wheels started to come off with JFK's assassination.
In some circles he was one of our most viscerally hated presidents.
I still don't buy the whole single gunman - Oswald thing.
Watergate was the public's first real look at the maggot-infested underbelly of the beast.
Until Tef-Ron Reagan's Iran-Contra lawbreaking I though I'd seen the bottom. I was wrong. It's been pretty much downhill from there.
Now the repugs have turned politics into an eye-gouging, nut-kicking, no-holds-barred, kick 'em when they're down, brass-knuckled, sucker-punch, take-no-prisoners, no-mercy gang rumble.
Winning is the only thing.
Support your (their) president no matter what he does.
Nothing he can do is vile enough for you to turn away from him.
No matter what.

Yeah, I remember a kinder gentler politics.
When "gentlemen and ladies" could agree to disagree.
Washington D.C. has turned into an armed camp and the nastiest of the nasty.
It sickens me.
And I guess to "win", we must reply in kind.
And THAT sickens me.
