'm really sick of the "I don't care how stupid he is as long as he has good advisors" attitude.

And I am sick of government officals and politicians thinking they are so much smarter then most people that they should make more and more of the decisions, regulate more, tax more, spend more...

I don't think Bush is stupid. I imagine if you had press follow you around all the time and were asked questions about tons of different topics with no time to prepare and people trying to trip you up then we might have a few examples of dumb mistakes you have made was well. I am sure I would make some. I know Al Gore has.

One thing that stands out about Al Gore is how much he has
completly changed his public positions on issues like gun control, abortion, soft money, and many other issues. I understand peoples opinions can change over the years, even to a complete 180. But he changed his positions so much on so many issues and then does not acknowlege that he ever held a different opinion. He visciously attacks people who held opinions that he used to publicly support.

The main reason I would oppose Gore is because I disagree with most of his political opinions, but even if I did not disagree with him that much, his extreme flipflops on the issues would concern me.
