I don't apologize a bit for referring to him as a self-medicating food addict.

Thomas Jefferson's critique of President John Adams included the accusation that he was "a hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman."

Adams responded with having Jefferson described as "a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father ... raised wholly on hoe-cake (made of coarse-ground Southern corn), bacon, and hominy, with an occasional change of fricasseed bullfrog. ..."

Modern American political vitriol doesn't even begin to hold a candle on the contemptuous insults hurled daily in the British parliament. "rlol"
Ah, the good old days! Duels, beatings on the floor of the Senate, Reps exiting the House through the windows to avoid a vote!
I always liked that Andrew Jackson called John Quincy Adams a pimp and scurrilous panderer, after Adams called his wife a felonious slut and Jackson himself a debauched bigamist.

Here is his democrat heart.....indeed, the heart of all democrats:
Christie acknowledges there is no way to prevent all violence in our society, but he says it is the job of government to question, to scrutinize and to demand more in an attempt to address the problem.
I really don't like them, and I don't like any alleged republicans who act like them. THEY are the reason we have a gigantic overarching Leviathan of a bureaucracy that uses the Constitution for toilet paper. It was the job of the United Soviet Socialist Republic to "question, scrutinize, and demand more" from its "citizens" ("subjects" being the correct word).
