Your guy sucks

[salinen]

There are no living nationally accepted American icons of honesty and integrity. Remember, it wasn't long ago that naming or renaming a freeway "MLK" unleashed the racist cockroaches? So who is now nationally recognized as a voice of reason? Someone accepted in both Mass. & Utah.

Is this important?

[helderheid]

1. Salt Lake City's mayor Rocky Anderson?

[pinto]

2. Jimmy Carter would seem a good choice.

(if I read your question correctly)

[Susan43]

3. I second that motion...n/t

[salinen]

9. Carter

is despised by the right. So, no, I must have missed making myself understood.

[Cocoa]

4. Russ Feingold

his integrity is unimpeachable, and so is he.

[robbedvoter]

6. Voted for Ashcroft. And some other thingy more recently.

[Cocoa]

8. but you can't say he was bought

:bounce:

[robbedvoter]

14. Only because I don't know for a fact.

5. I hope you don't mind...

I've wanted to start a thread on the governor of Montana, but I can't start a thread until I have more posts. :shrug:

I happened to hear him speak on TV the other night and was really impressed. He appears to be a pretty smart guy. Here is a link to his website and his thoughts on synthetic fuel.

Brian Schweitzer,

7. Derek Jeter

oops! you said Massachusetts.

Never mind.

10. Adolf Hitler,

after all the majority of americans agreed with everyone of his policies except for the one dealing with the jewish religion. In fact every president from Nixon to GW has used his policies as their own. Think it out.

[DavidBowman]

15. What?

What the hell can that possibly mean?

[mrcheerful]

20. Nixons law and order platform

was copied off Hitlers. Reagan and deregulation along with trickle down economics again one of hitlers ideals. GW and the corporate welfare thats how Hitler got germany out of its depression. The repigs are fascists right along side of the Reich. The patriot act, again good old Hitler ideology.

11. Mitt isn't exactly the darling of Mass., if that's what you mean

[Tab]

12. I think you have to go to Abe Lincoln

Even FDR is reviled by some on the right.

But no one can argue with Honest Abe.

[rzemanfl]

13. Yeah, that Civil War was no big deal. n/t

[Marr]

16. MLK wasn't a "nationally accepted icon of integrity" while he was alive.

That's sort of why he was shot. Assholes always hate good people. If you're looking for someone who can appeal to assholes, well- I suggest Newt Gingrich.

What I'm saying is- if you stand for something, you're going to be hated by alot of people. Anyone who deserves your support is going to get a hell of alot of abuse from assholes.

17. self delete

[Ravy]

18. Walter Cronkite (n/t)

[KharmaTrain]

19. Stephen Colbert

The freepers still can't figure him out...they think he's one of them.

Now dare we let them know he's in on Project X? (oops...hope Ms. Maulkin's hubby ain't trollin') :rofl:

[BlueIris]

21. HA HA HA HA HA HA! That is priceless!
