LOL! So, we're back to that old chestnut, huh? Mr. Farrell must be quite the luminary, being as he isn't in the Oval Office.
I suscomb to your conclusion but I for some reason never thought he was that educated in the sense of knowing how to lead a country and keep unity within. I believe a wise ruler does not snub parts of his kingdom but tries to united all under common recognizable goals such as GWB does and Ronald did. Perhaps I am a bit naive.
My experience has been that the truth frequently is simple. Getting there, though, usually involves complexity. What I tell young lawyers working for me is that you have to enter the forest, but eventually you have to re-emerge, too. Lots of people of mediocre intelligence confuse complexity (and "nuance") with smarts. Like Kerry. Bush, on the other hand, grasps that the truth is going to be simple. He delegates the detail work to subordinates and reserves his energy for the big picture. Rather like a modern CEO.
Amen, and well put!
FYI in case you didn't read the whole article they aren't really talking about Bush carrying NY. They say that apathy on the part of Dems who are sure Kerry will win will cause losses in the State House and Senate
"Simple, dumb, and stupid yet W's still kickin' their a$$. One might ask just what does that say about the 'brains' of the jackass cult?"
Heh-heh. The lefty einsteins think "simple" is an insult.
Normal people understand it as a virtue.
How complicated is the Ten Commandments?
How complicated is E=mc2?
Normal people know that actions are simple. You do it or you don't--so simple speech does not spook us.
Democraps like complexity because accountability and truth get lost in it. Like the eurotrash who try to tell us that infinitesimal growth and 10% unemployment are signs of the superiority of the EU economy.
Yep. Simple, stupid, retro, cowboy, unimaginative, disinterested, neanderthal, Bible-thumping, dimwitted, imbecilic, idiotic, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum.
A google search shows about 1,610,000 results for bush stupid: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=bush+stupid, while it shows about 269,000 for clinton genius, and 190,000 for kerry genius. Oddly enough "bush genius" gets 495,000 results ... what's up with that? Sarcasm?
Either way, we know what the left thinks about Bush. There are no more negative adjectives remaining that haven't been used.
And, when it comes time to vote, I am taking my 137IQ down to the poll and swinging the lever for Bush, because God knows I am not stupid enough to vote for Kerry.
The demoncrats hate that. They would rather have an effite snob, who doen't know what Wendy's sells, as their link to the "common folks". Maybe they should get tereeesa to help them.
Yea,
Looks like the EU may soon split up into different demogogs.
And Lurch expects them to send troops to Iraq. Well not really. He is just is grasping at straws as the G's a F's
make it clear not one soldier will be sent to Iraq.
Their real problem, the way I see it, is that they fail to understand the difference between intelligence and wisdom.
Intelligence is the capacity to process information. Wisdom is the ability to discern between good information and bad; between true and false; between right and wrong.
The left continues to underestimate President Bush for the same reason they lost battle after battle to President Reagan. What Reagan had, and what Bush has, is wisdom. However intelligent the leftists consider themselves, they lack wisdom and aren't able to recognize it in their opponents.
For as long as I can remember and that goes back to the Eisenhower campaign of 1956, the dems have been calling Republicans stupid.
For as long as I can remember they have been saying "the Republicans want to rob old people of their social security and put them out in the street."
There's a certain class of people who believe this garbage and that would be the people blindly voting for the democrats.
Who's stupid?
This "stupid" man has run circles around the Dems. He's certainly a better politician than his father, and unlike him, this George Bush will be reelected.
HA! And they think that's an insult? Do you guys remember the song the military band played before Bush was elected. I think it was called "Simple Pleasures". I'll never forget watching him and Laura walking down to steps to that music. It still brings a smile to my face.
I guess W's got both (after all he has a Harvard MBA), and Kerry, well he doesn't seem to have either.
That would probably be the most expensive senate race ever.
I think you're right about that. I know I would be cutting Rudy a check. Might even go to NY to be a campaign worker. It would be the last chance to knock her out of the game before 2008.
My youngest sister is going to school in Rochester, NY. I have been urging her to register to vote in NY (she's been there for over a year.) She finally did register to vote last month, thinking her vote really wouldn't count. Maybe it will, it would be quite cool to have Bush win NY.
