I frequently hear about the rolling around in grave of the founding fathers used in respose to a variety of policy positions, so that line of thinking always sticks in my craw.steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-22858576753674231732008-10-28T08:00:00.000-05:002008-10-28T08:00:00.000-05:00Actually, steves, I thought the piece was more for...Actually, steves, I thought the piece was more for entertainment value than an actual attempt at saying that Teddy would vote for Obama.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345059376742159966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-18192802524397339292008-10-27T23:04:00.000-05:002008-10-27T23:04:00.000-05:00smitty, you need to read ron chernow. specifically...smitty, you need to read ron chernow. specifically, Hamilton and Titan.the infamous rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11101935123342243402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-31982029000981407532008-10-27T18:56:00.000-05:002008-10-27T18:56:00.000-05:00Interesting and funny, but I have never been a big...Interesting and funny, but I have never been a big fan this kind of cinjecture, no matter how well informed. I think it may be possible to make some guesses as to how someone from the past may interpret modern events, but that gets harder when that person is further removed from this era. <BR/><BR/>He should have just interviewed himself instead of using TR to make a political statement, IMO. I heard an Obama interview on past Supreme Court justices that he admires. He concedes that he has no way of knowing how they would decide things if they were somehow on today's court, nor would he know if they would make good decisions (I am paraphrasing here). I thought that was a really good answer.steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-26907176570729849382008-10-27T17:55:00.000-05:002008-10-27T17:55:00.000-05:00That's an intersting read!

(suddenly serious) He looks like Judas, but unlike that gentleman has no capacity for remorse.<BR/><BR/>Q. Is that the best you can say of him?<BR/><BR/>A. I wish him well, but I wish him well at a good distance from me.<BR/><BR/>Q. One last question, Colonel. If you were campaigning now, would you still call yourself a Republican?<BR/><BR/>A. (after a long pause) No."<BR/><BR/>I love the "good distance from me" remark... and I would like to hope that Morris is right about Teddy not aligning himself with the modern Republican Party!Soporhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647578353963214035noreply@blogger.com
