No more so then pat buchanan was last election...simply unintended consequences.
Progressives wear underware? Wow!
I was over on the BBC comment page and got annoyed enough to send 'em this (never bothered to see if they posted it).
In a couple cases you'll note specific responses, such as to the guy who was upset we did not have 50 candidates for Prez.:
Let's see here:
I was so dumb I researched jobs figures and discovered that the US is insourcing many more jobs than it is outsourcing, and they pay better on average, too.
I was so dumb I checked on the US deficit, and discovered that as a % of GNP, it is NOT larger than it has been at other times in the past.
I was so dumb I researched the unemployment statistics and discovered unemployment is lower than the average during the Clinton years.
I was so dumb that I noticed Europe & the UN could not even take care of ethnic cleansing in Europe.
I was so dumb that I found out that Saddam Hussein had managed to obtain Mirage fighters made in 1999 and 2000, despite the UN arms embargo. This by direct online conversation with the Major who's men found them in Iraq, by the way.
I was so dumb that within a few hours of our media trying to smear Pres. Bush about his Nat. Guard Service, I knew the documents they used as proof were forged. (Actually, I was so dumb I watched other dumb people - Bush supporters, "y'all" know - collectively investigate it on the Internet and prove CBS' corruption.)
I was so dumb I read Kerry's book, and I read the Navy after action report (of the "Sampan Incident") that Kerry wrote. Since both can not be true, I checked other evidence, which backed up Kerry's book. I concluded Kerry wrote a false report, a court martialable offense, to cover up a mistake on his part that got a child killed. Being dumb, I understand exactly why an officer can be court martialed for such an action.
I am so dumb, I figured out the exit polls asked the wrong question: When asked to name the most important issue, I checked "morality", not because of religion or abortion, but because I know Kerry dishonored his fellow soldiers while passing himself off as a war hero! The exit pollers think it's all about "the Christian right"...
To Vinayak: I am so dumb I remembered we have a system of "primary" elections, where the Democrats had over a dozen candidates for President!
To David: I am so dumb I realize the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is itself only one symptom of a much deeper conflict that goes back over 1000 years.
To Tim: Yes, I am so dumb I saw all the Michael Moore / Hollywood left / Kitty Kelly / Main Stream Media Bush-bashing for what it was.
I am so dumb, I figured out that the U.S. could do without MidEast oil better than most other industrialized countries!
I am so dumb, I noticed that the U.S. signed a major anti-terrorism accord with France, the day of the 1st debate, despite all our disagreements in many areas. (Nope, we never work with our allies.)
I am so dumb, I smell the U.N. rotting.
I ask.
You decide.
Should I complain to FR management about this disgusting word-picture?
