I saw Alec Baldwin on O'Reilly last week. I was amazed at how ignorant he seemed. He actually thought Bush was so stupid he couldn't tie his shoes. O'Reilly kept telling Baldwin Bush was NOT a stupid man, and Baldwin was so biased he couldn't even think this through.
People who are stupid do not become president. You may disagree with their politics, they may be dishonest, or have severe character flaws, but I do not believe it is possible for a stupid person to get to presidency. \
But Alec Baldwin has very clearly demonstrated to me you can be totally without logic skills and still become an actor.
Isn't the President's IQ 120 based on his SAT scores? Doesn't that put him in the top ten percent of the population?
Someone help me out on this....
A further example of John McCitizen Cain's bizarre idea that campaign finance reform would help level the playing field. It seems that the mass media has dedicated every waking hour to helping their man Kerry win.
His IQ may be 120 but IQ is NOT based on SAT scores.
Pretend play is one of the earliest complicated skills most children learn. Is it any wonder so many adults are still good at it?
mean iq is 100 with a standard deviation of 15. its a normal distribution, so 68% of the population is between 85-115 with 95% of the population between 70-130.
"Isn't the President's IQ 120 based on his SAT scores? Doesn't that put him in the top ten percent of the population?"
The problem is that there's a difference in IQ's of 120: If it's a Republican, especially one named Bush or Cheney, it's actually about a 45 IQ. If it's a democrat, especially one named Clinton, Kennedy, or Kerry, it's actually about a 195 IQ.
Now, wasn't that easy?
I'm still awaiting an answer from one of these DU types as to how Bush can simultaneously have the intellect of a chimpanzee yet is somehow capable of organizing and running the vast international criminal conspiracy he supposedly has orchestrated. He must be some sort of criminal idiot-savant.
No wonder the piece was spiked; the NEA's ox gets gored.
President Bush has a true connection with the average American. Now...I'm not talking about the 'intellignece level' of Americans. I'm talking about us...the regular people. To the self-proclaimed elite of this country we are all stupid. Why, we can't even make important decisions for ourselves. We need government to make most of our decisions for us.
Bush asks the obvious questions when trying to resolve problems. The arrogant intellectuals in this country cannot fathom such an approach. Their "education" tells them that things must be more difficult than they appear. So asking simple questions like - Why can't the children read? and What is being done differently in the successful programs? are considered a waste of time by those who believe themselves to be of a much higher intellect. Their answer to almost every issue leads to "let someone else take care of the problem" mentality.
The liberal media will continue to push for a Kerry presidency along with France, Germany, Russia and, oh yeah, Osama and his merry men.
Conservative and common sense voters need to encourage other like-minded people to get out and vote in November. All the propoganda aside, your vote is your voice and you should be heard!
BTTT
The last thing the Democrats want are urban minorities capable of thinking independently and critically assessing what 40 years of Democratic policies have done for them.
GWBush may not be an Albert Einstein, but there is no one I'd rather have leading America in this dangerous period of our history then PresBush. His administration is filled with highly competent, successful and experienced public servants like Dick Cheney, Don Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft and Condy Rice. I trust them all.
President Bush produces results. Pure intelligence does not always equal good results, effective leading, or management.
There are more than one talents required for president and intelligence is merely one very important one.
Moral character, moral clarity, courage, decisiveness, honesty, leadership, and management abilities are also needed.
it amazes me that everyone and his mother can evaluate Bush's "intelligence" based on God-knows-what, but the swift vets - who actually worked with Kerry - are being savaged because they're alerting us to his awful performance in Vietnam.
Bush's SAT score was between 1200 and 1300. The average SAT score is around 1000. The toughest 4-year college in the nation, Cal Tech, has an average score of 1206, and George Bush's was above that. Most of us would not think a guy who scored better than 60% of Cal Tech students is a dimwit.
In fact, Bush's SAT scores would have gotten him into every college in the country, save one, Deep Springs College, whose average SAT scores were 1400+. But voters against Bush (you can't say they support Kerry) have no interest in the truth.
RE: "Why, we can't even make important decisions for ourselves. "
The following was heard in an Upper East Side boutique:
"I mean, REEAAAAALLlllly, anyone who de-CIDES to live in West Podunk, instead of, heaaaaahhhh, is suuuhhhhtanly not capable of making any sort of decision! "
