You know, that always bothered me, how the "mainstream" media lampooned Dan Quayle as not very bright, a lightweight.
Every politician makes gaffes; I can't think of one who hasn't.
When Alphonse Capote Gore emerged as the (D) candidate for the presidency in 2000, I thought it'd be nice if the "mainstream" media lampooned him as much as they had Dan Quayle.....and more so because he was more prone to even bigger, even more, gaffes than Quayle had ever been.
I am disgusted at Repubs that do not fight back. Bush & Quayle are prime examples. Just look at the lies that Harry Reid is spouting off about Romney not paying his taxes. The RNC chair called him on it but other than one other Repub, the rest of them have been silent as a church mouse.
I learned a long time ago as a kid that if you let a bully pick on you, he will continue to do so if you do not fight back. Repubs do not seem to understand that simple minded concept.
