What would this administration we have ruling us today, do with the likes of another Thomas Jefferson? Another John Adams? Another John Hancock? Another George Washington?

What if this here administration got word, that these men were meeting nightly and discussing freedom from the rulers and how we get it....

First of all, I agree with your title.

Second, if the likes of those men listed were here today,
this administration would have never made it through the
primaries, much less elected.

Does that mean that no conservative or person in the GOP meets that criteria?

Sad that you have to look back 230 years and not in your own party of today to find persons able to de-throne the Democrats.

Sad that Democrats are perceived a better option.

It's sad all over...

If Liberals weren't looking at illegals and very poor uneducated voters for their voter base, the Republicans would have a better chance.

By the way until the McCain's and Graham's get unseated the GOP is going to the mutts.

What does it matter whom liberals "look" at? Voters are able to vote for either party. If poor folk dont vote GOP, that is their constitutional choice.

Dont blame non-voting illegal aliens and the poor for your party's shortcomings...its very unbecoming.

If our political leaders of today were around 230 years ago, they'd be working stables, waiting tables in inns, tending houses and working the fields or laboring in shops. That's on both sides of the aisle.
Obama reminds me more of King Ludwig of Bavaria than King George.
But Obama is known as George III, so it does have some merit.

"King George had nothing on this US administration."

Since King George III was a monarch governed by a constitution shouldn't you referring to Frederick North, Lord North or Charles Watson-Wentworth, 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, who were actually the elected prime ministers of Great Britain in the era in question?

Obama and crew work to make sure no ID is required to vote. It should scare the crap out of you....... unless you're one of these people......why would anyone want to associated with gang bangers from another country. Sorry to inform you, it's the working poor that vote, not park bench bums that Sharpton gave pizza and a ride to vote for who they told them to. Do you just follow the mass and vote accordingly?

The short comings are Republicans believe in working for a living, unlike the left who support gang bangers and their kind leeching off of society.
