If Bush is dumb...?

Townhall ^ | June 23, 2005 | Larry Elder

[HonestConservative]

I voted for Bush, twice.

I am not happy with a lot of what he currently ISN'T doing; but dumb? Thats getting pretty tired.

How about some input from some Swift Boat Vets?

[alisasny]

Listen to your "elder."

I recently started watching his talk show. Its pretty good although he does bring up Clinton alot being a "success" coming from such a pitiful backround, his father dying his stepfather being an abuser etc....I wonder if Elder gets slack for that?

[Lekker 1]

I'm sure the candidates' SATs and college transcripts would put Kerry far ahead.

Oh yeah...I'm sure they would

[afnamvet]

Kerry was smart enough to spend that Christmas in Cambodia.

[Lemondropkid31]

This is such a tired old arguement I had to force myself to respond. It's no secret that the media would rather keep Kerry's idiocy secret, and if you are a republican with prolife and deeply held christian beliefs, you are an idiot.

[infidel29]

...the way Kerry thinks through problems "the mark of an intellectual who grasps the subtleties of issues, inhabits their nuances and revels in the deliberative process."

President Bush just solves the damn problem.(unless it deals with border security)

[HonestConservative]

Yes, I agree, it is old and I was slow to post it; or maybe I am just slow, what with being a Conservative and all.

But it is important, because as the Conservative and Republican Presidential candidates assemble before us, watch for the MSM and other Lefties start to demean the intelligence of the emerging front runners.

George Allen is a dummy, after all his father was just a football coach. Frist isn't the brightest SURGEON in the world and Romney? He's just one of those really strange Mormons (sarc)

If you recall Eisenhower was a real slow witted dolt as well. You really have to be a dope to win the War in Europe. (more sarc)

Wait for it............

[GianniV]

Didn't Al Gore fail out of business school or something like that?

Sorry - most liberals I know are friggin really stupid. They act smart and supreme to everyone else, but once you introduce simple logic, they snivel and fluster and eventually call you a "racist." That means you have won the argument.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

During the campaign, when Bush injured himself by falling off his bicycle, Kerry snidely said, "Did the training wheels fall off?"

W was cross country biking at the time, iirc. Kerry fell off his Brioche (whatever) bicycle riding in Concord, MA., during the campaign and there was scarce a word about it in the msm.

[ArmedConservative]

Even worse for Al Gore, he failed out of Divinity School!!!

[brbethke]

It's quite simple. The key reason why liberals insist on calling President Bush "stupid" is that that is the only worthwhile insult they have left. Any other perjorative term they might use would offend an important liberal constituency. I mean, before they could even start to think about calling the President, say --

-- an amoral skirt-chasing, commie-loving, draft-dodging, rabble-rousing, race-baiting, baby-killing, bribe-taking, pill-popping, coke-snorting, pot-smoking, crack-smoking, pole-smoking, boy-buggering, lesbian-licking, sheep-sodomizing, promiscuity-promoting, ambulance-chasing, morbidly obese America-hating alcoholic traitor --

-- well, they'd have to repudiate John Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards, Barney Frank, George McGovern, Jimmy Carter, Jesse Jackson, Michael Moore, NARAL, NOW, PETA, and NAMBLA, just for starters.

Democrat candidates for the Presidency have ALWAYS been pictured as intellectual giants, while Republicans running for the same office are invariably dunces. Which flies in the face of all experience, as comparing, for example, Nixon versus Kennedy. Kennedy was a playboy, nothing more, with an elite band of soothsayers and advisors to whisper in his ear when he stumbled on an answer, while Nixon was carrying around all the facts in his head. Likewise, Reagan could disarm his opponents with a ready, razor-sharp wit, that none of the critics seemed to realize. Until they were lying on the ground, lacerated and bleeding.

George W. Bush may stumble around with his syntax, and the superior ones sniff at such clumsiness with the language, but any listener quickly discerns what Dubya means. On the other hand, NOBODY knows how John Kerry stands on negotiations with the Islamic jihadists, or the national debt, or the balance of trade, or how the border problem would be solved on his watch. Somewhere between incompetence and chaos, you may be sure.

"But it is important, because as the Conservative and Republican Presidential candidates assemble before us, watch for the MSM and other Lefties start to demean the intelligence of the emerging front runners"


I know I know. *sigh* I just get tired of it. Dont worry about being slow. I am slow christian conservative dummy myself.

[HonestConservative]

Better.

I believe he dropped out of Divinity School AND Law School.

I guess Tests with subjective scores or final counts were not his thing.

I could be wrong, after all I'm a Conservative.

But its a good thing he did, because otherwise we slack-jawed idiots couldn't be using this ffffandangled contraption on the Internet he invented (s), right after he got his friend to write Love Story about him.

It seems that Conservatives, no matter how slow, can still read the Constitution.

Very well said and every word is spot on correct -

And the MSM have to play this angle because they all have their own complexes as well (regarding their intelligence)

[jmaroneps37]

The fact that we are reading this material is more proof of the strenght of new media and the waning strenght of the ratmedia. Try as they did, they couldn't keep this out of the public eye. They have sunk to a 28% confidence level. Is there any reason to think that this number will go up any time soon? Don't forget, this country is more than 28% democrat. Not even the rats believe the crap in the ratmedia.

[NJ_gent]

"Kerry thinks through problems ... grasps the subtleties of issues, inhabits their nuances and revels in the deliberative process.""

And still comes up with the wrong answer.

[Apercu]

All of the "elites", a la John Kerry, suffer from paralysis by ANALysis.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

God works in mysterious ways. He obviously didn't want Algore on his team. Thank goodness the US electorate agreed with God in Nov. 2000.

[MHGinTN]

Only in his CV/imagination. I'm sick of fools degrading my President of the United States. That Jon Waht'sname prick on the Comedy Channel giggles with glee at the snide smears his writers put together to denegrate our President. When anarchy hits, I'm loadin' up my guns and heading West then to the Northeast. Liberals will be open seasoned.
