Can this be true? The man at the garden center told me this today. He said that those voters thought they were voting for Papa. Does this mean that there will be people voting for Hillary who think they're voting to return Bill?

3. One out of three people don't have a clue who Dick Cheney is
So to answer your question, yes. I expect there will be voters who will be pulling the lever for the big dog when they vote Clinton.

6. I suspect that a similar percentage don't know that the current
president's father was once a president himself.

I'd like to see that poll. It'd probably be best if they didn't even use the Bush name in the question.

8. We knew you had to be a moron to vote for the Bush boy.
We just didn't know how MUCH of a moron you had to be.

9. It is true that when James Hahn was elected mayor of LA a few years back,
a lot of his support came from people confusing him with his late father Kenneth Hahn, who I understand was a hero of the local civil rights movement.

14. Yes, on Comedy Central, IIRC. "Indecision 2000"
"50% Think he's his father, 38% think they're twins, and 12% will never get that joke!" :rofl:




Or something like that...

exchange it for a shrub.

16. 50% of statistics used in casual conversation are made up.
I do believe that some people did think they were voting for the old man however.
