THE ZOMBIE PARTY:

WHICH GEORGE W. WOULD AMERICANS ELECT? (George Washington Prize/Washington College poll, February 17, 2005)

If George Washington returned from the dead and attempted to recapture the presidency of the United States, he would beat an incumbent President George W. Bush by nearly 20 percentage points, according to a new national poll conducted for Washington College by the public affairs research firm of Schulman, Ronca & Bucuvalas, Inc. Asked to choose between George Washington and George W. Bush, Republicans in the survey supported Bush by a margin of more than 2 to 1, while Democrats and independents overwhelmingly favored Washington.

Never mind not being religious enough and opposing the unborn, the Democrats actually support the undead?

Explanation obvious: Dems prefer Washington because he enlisted French support for his military adventure.

The Dems have been running against a dead man, Herbert Hoover, for decades, so it makes perfect sense to put up another dead man as their candidate. Especially when you look at who Washington would have to beat in the primaries.

They couldn't call Washington a Chciken Hawk.

Hatred of Bush leads Democrats to support a candidate that mentioned God ten times as often.

Well, duh! George Washington was one of the most conservative human beings ever to have walked the face of the earth, in so many ways a throwback to the heroes of the Roman Republic, whom he consciously emulated. Would I esteem him more highly than W? Of course, and so would W.
