well, one thing that's wrong with that chart is Eisenhower, he served two terms. and FDR served a little over 12 years.

and another couple of factoids.

56% of the D's get re-elected, while 31% of the R's do. and the average Democrat serves 6.2 years, while the average Republican serves 4.8 years.

assuming you think there's a difference between them, that is...

... and did you realize that innauguration day was changed from March to Janurary during Harry Truman's term in office. So he served a term that was a couple months short. seems like a gyp.

In great contests, each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong. God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time.

I don't get it. You guys and gals don't have to vote over there so how do any of these people get elected .. i guess it just depends on which candidate has the larger family.

Yeah, but how was the sweet and sour pork? It's so hard to get good sweet and sour pork in a republican administration.
