If he had gone to McDonalds, he would have been copying someone.

eh it's fine...if it's their tradition that's nice to keep something like that up.

Yup! Until dateline did a special where they found bugs in there. bye bye salad bar.

Well, where do you and your wife go for your anniversary?

The times they were dirty and had to go to Wendy's made a "little moment"
How cute!

Yeah, I think this is very sweet. I had a serious boyfriend in college and "our place" was Boston Market because we'd gone there on a very special day. It was more romantic to me than any 4-star restaurant could have been. I still think of him when I pass a Boston Market.

They are in NV and CA too, just few and far between. There used to be a lot of them when I was growing up and I was totally addicted to them.

If the Bush's spent thier anniversaries at a Whataburger i guarantee the tone of the accompanying thread would be much different.

Yeah, well...not from me. I think it's cute. Anniversary traditions have nothing to do with politics. If George W. and Laura go to Whataburger for their anniversary, so what? Maybe they could bring me some fries. :)

No, you see... this proves that Edwards can roll the sleeves up on his $300 shirt and be like the average man. He can go to Wendy's like the average man. He IS the average man.

On the other hand, does anybody remember when George I stopped in a super market on a trip somewhere and was amazed at the bar code reading technology? It was several years old at the time, but the Bush family never had to do their own shopping. As I recall, he was also amazed at the high prices -- another thing he had never personally seen. I kinda doubt that George W and Jeb do a lot of shopping either. Or Kerry for that matter.

This whole thing about who is the "common man" is silly. They're all rich. Why should any of them appologize for that. Given the choice of being very comfortable or not, I know which I'd choose. I don't know too much about Cheney so I'll leave him out of it, but at least Edwards started out from humble roots and is a self made man.

What does that have to do with what kind of leader he'll make? Probably nothing.

And if President and Mrs. "W" want to go to Dairy Queen for their anniversary, I think that's wonderful.

and that, my well-read friend, is just a bit of democratic propaganda

I agree,

any of the politicians proclaiming themselves to be a "man of the people" is ludicrous. Pardon me if i took exceptional claim to Kerry sitting his pasty Yankee ass on a combine while he was in the Midwest, trying to "relate" to the common folk.

Believe what you want, neither of these guys have had the same struggles as your Jerry Springer-type crowd. But don't fuckin lie to me and tell me that the Dems would spin a Bush anniversary in a Wendys in a positive light. Their whole campaign is based on character assassination and half-truths.

that's what i find disgusting about this whole damn deal.

KS 361 times i'll vote for Bush, just to piss you hippies off

And the Bush campaign isn't? Both sides have done a disgusting amount of mudslinging, so no one's innocent--and don't delude yourself into thinking they are.

Dems/liberals/"hippies" are a "Jerry Springer-type crowd?" Screwing people off of GC on a regular basis sounds pretty Springer-esque to me.

I'd rather be a hippie than a fat WHORE.

Maybe it would be more accurate to say that hippies and the Jerry Springer crowd are most likely Democrats?

Not unlikely based on their overall socioeconomic status. They want govmunt cheese. Who is going to pass more of it out?

I would imagine that they don't vote at all. :) Most people in our age group don't.
