208.0. "Good Politicians in action" by GRANPA::MWANNEMACHER (yup, it's a watchamacallit) Wed Dec 21 1994 11:39

    
    
    Okay, we've heard about the new politician, the one who is going to act
    instead of talk.  Put their money where there mouth is so to speak. 
    Let's hear examples here of politicians who are doing so.

    Gov. George Allen of Virginia has cut back the staff at the mansion
    says that he and his wife can make their own bed and the kids can do
    some of the chores around the house.  Small, yes, but it is the right
    frame of mind (IMO).

    It depends on the definition of good. If they got elected, they are
    good at what they do. If they stay elected they are better. Good for
    what though, is the question.

    Former president Grant.
    Former president Lincoln.
    Former president Kennedy.
    Former president Nixon.
    Former presidents Roosevelts.
    
    I like the current actions of all of these politicians.  There are
    thousands more.  I just can't think of any who are alive.

    > Former president Nixon.
    
    You're serious?  "I am not a crook" Nixon?  The man whose presidency
    forever changed the meaning of the word "Watergate"??
