If a republican (let's not use the term "conservative" loosely here)
believes in a reduction of traditional values,
how come Dan E & his folks talk so much about the lack of "traditional"
values, eh? and, how come they want to increase it for the rest of us.

I don't see such responses as generic.  I think it's a very specific reference
to the Dannsterette.  There was a quote in Newsweek a couple of weeks back
where a Quayl handler admitted that 'she has no lovable side.'  Indeed, if I
had to look at *her*, I'd stay out on the golf course, or in my Senate office.
Combine that with her fundamentalist religious beliefs, and I'd get divorced.
Since that doesn't jive with conservative 'family values,' and cheating on her
would get me in serious trouble with the press, I'd play 18 holes a day.

	Well, I remember one that was used by his opponent, Lloyd Dogget,
in the 1984 Senate race.  Dogget ran an ad that contained some choice 
Grammisms.  For example, one time Gramm was condemning some sort of benefit
for disabled Americans, and said:

	"Look at that!  Look at that!  They're encouraging people to be
	 handicapped!"

	It seems like there was another one about the elderly and Social

In my opinion, perhaps the ultimate Quayle quote is (reported Esquire 8/92):

"You always learn something by reading the classics.  Particularly The Prince.  I
go through and look at this from this intellectual point of view.  Machiavelli
had these three classes of mind.  The first class was the person that was
creative enough to be leader and be able to lead a great nation without much
help.  The second class of mind was one that wasn't creative but could take
ideas, put people around him, and be able to lead nations foward.  And the third
class of people didn't really know much of anything.  And they were the worst
kind of leaders, because not only were they not creative, but they didn't know
what was right or wrong, and they just sort of went by whatever they felt like. 
I've tried to figure out where I am.  I know I'm not the first because I don't
think I have the creativeness that Machiavelli talks about.  If I go back and
reread it I might figure it out exactly where I put myself.  I'm somewhere
between two and one."

INCREDIBLE!  Only in the land of Pat Robertson could someone believe

That, as my late Uncle Abdul in Toledo used to say, is your problem.
The fact that *you* haven't seen any evidence means little to me
unless you have seen counter-evidence.

I understand your need to defend Dannikins but I don't know if you realize
how ridiculous you sound when you say that intelligence "leads to a form
of mental masturbation."  Are you really arguing that intelligence is
somehow dangerous?  If so, you're even more "non-elite" than Dannikins!

As for Utopia, let me remind you that this country was *nothing but*
a Utopian vision in 1776.  Whining cynically about Utopian visions may
give you pleasure but it doesn't prove anything one way or another.

In fact, it is not intelligence but rather your cynicism that more
closely resembles masturbation.  Give it a rest, John!

  We only need to observe that stupid and ignorant Kwayl Klones take
  opposite sides of almost every political issue to recognize that
  stupidity and ignorance do not somehow endow one with the "right"
  answer to political questions.

You see, John, we in a.f.d-q. are arguing *not* that intelligence is
sufficient in a Vice President, and perhaps *not even* that it is
necessary, but simply that it would be nice, for a change.

Born Again republicans   -  Garry Wills

He (Bush) likes teasing, practicle jokes, and trivial one-up-manship, as 
Time's White House reporters Michael duffay and Dan Goodgame show in 
their new book, "marching In Place".  An astounding amount of the 
president's time has been taken up with frivolous competitive games 
involving exploding golf balls, voice activated monkey dolls, and a game 
called 'light-'er-up'.  The latter is played with local bigwigs who want 
to get the president's ear whan he visits their town.  seated in the limo 
"jumpseat" the local official is made the scorekeeper in this presidental 
pursuit:
     As the limo moved through the streets, Bush would pick
     out someone from the crowd, usually an attractive woman
     or a child, point and wait until - Pow! - eye contact, 





    and the victim realizes, he's looking at me!  That's when the target 
    "lit up".  Because the limo was moving forward it fell to the guest 
     facing aft to report to the president when he asked, " did I
     get her?  Did I light her up?"  And the game would begin again.

And we spend tens of millions of dollars in travel expenses for Danny-boy 
and Lying George to travel the country, no the world!, to play golf and 
"light-'er-up"!  Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!  Isn't being president and VP fun!?
Just like being back in your fraternity, yes!
Now we know why the Dynamic Duo are so desperate to stay in office.
You can't play "light-'er-up" anymore!  Barbara Bush probably doesn't hav 
time to play score keeper.  Who says these guys aren't a laff a minit?
