No, it doesn't. Every time I've ever heard it, it goes something along the lines of, "Democrats are better than Republicans!" "Says you."

And dude, I know that it's not proper grammar, just like I know that, even though there's no grammar rule saying that it's wrong, "I and Joe" is not preferable to "Joe and I". But just because it's not proper grammar doesn't mean that we are absolutely verboten from ever saying it. Especially where accuracy or emphasis are concerned. And I ain't just be sayin' that for no reason no how. :-p
