Bill and Hillary live in a different world then you and me

I don't know which is more scary - the reality distortion field that these two rich white cheating power grubbing people live in, or that nearly half of all Democrats voted for her even after getting to know this wonderful couple when Bill wore the pants. Or dropped them for his interns...
To say the two party system is badly broken is to make a huge understatement. ANYONE NOT NAMED BUSH OR CLINTON, '08

Ummm, while metaphorically true, this is also true of probably every single person in Congress and lots of other people.
I actually support "Anyone not named Bush or Clinton" as an electoral heuristic. America is flirting with a dynastic presidency, and it needs to stop.

D'A: I would also support such a heuristic, provided that it only applied to family names, not first names.
Bush makes for a horrible first name. Clinton, not so great either.
True, but see also this claim, which I agreed with.
Also, I forget about middle names. They should be exempt as well.
Oh, yeah, I wouldn't make it illegal to name a child Bush; I just think it's a really bad idea. I do think that parents should help their children to legally change their names though if the child wants to. Give them a little time to make sure they want the new name and it's not a poorly chosen name the child will outgrow, but if the kid is in double digits and wants it for a decent length of time, the child should probably get the name change. I'd even support it for younger children as long as the desired name is desired for a reasonable length of time. Change the name based on the desire of a four year old right at the moment and you get names like Peekaboo.
Right, names are a funny thing. What I'd really like to see is a "validation period" of some kind. I think that when a person reaches the age of majority, they should be given the opportunity to change their name once without all the usual fees, paperwork, and waiting periods. That way, people would be less likely to go through life with a name they just don't like.
