Clinton was stupid enough to lie and get caught lying about taking advantage of an intern. Carter was stupid enough to have policies that caused high inflation rates. Nixon was stupid enough to have hired people who would get caught at the hotel. Johnson was stupid enough to think the public wouldn't mind sending more troops to Vietnam. Kennedy was stupid enough to be involved with the mob. But if you're talking about brain power, I don't know if Bush is as stupid as the left claims he is. He's just not a slick politician who comes across as smart when he speaks. Lots of people are like that.

Speaking of mid-terms there. We can say 2-0 if you prefer ... still makes the point. Or are we going with the "2000 was stolen" and "Kerry was an idiot" line today? Quote:

I seriously think he has wisdom and some dang good values. I seriously think the Clintons don't.
However, I think wise people make mistakes, so I don't think Bush is mistake free. What I do believe is it is easy to second guess others decisions. You can always say we should of because no one could refute what would have happened we had taken that "should have" course. Just because a decision doesn't work out, we don't know for sure the alternative would have. If you don't believe me just ask people on their 3rd and 4th marriages. |

And what does this have to do with the topic? Try to focus, Tex. Concentrate! Quote:
I actually voted for Bush in round one. About two months into office, it became clear we had all been hoodwinked.

Might as well ask a bunch of Southern Baptists for an impartial view of Mormons. Quote:
So what does that say about them? Quote:
Ok.

Listen, if you trying to use midterm elections as proof of Bush's intellect, then this debate is pretty fruitless.

"Listen," if you've got policy disagreements with the man, fine. You think he's destroyed the environment, the economy, national security, whatever, fine. Make your argument and we'll talk. But saying "He's stupid 'cause he can't say nukular" is completely inane.

His unpopularity was, surely more responisible for the big 2006 defeat than anything the inept, detached, clueless, idiotic, unpatriotic, cowardly, morally bankrupt Democrats (those are paraphrases of your sentiments-please feel free to object). And that makes him persona non grata in his own party. |
