>>>>You are so dumb that you can't make your point.<<< Here's my point. We have a moron for a president. The people that estimated his IQ as being about 91 were being generous towards him in my opinion. But I think you are right when you say that he is smarter than you.

Off the immediate topic, but here is a cogent take on the "campaign finance reform" bill fiasco from Alan Keyes. FUNDAMENTAL DISHONESTY A key sign of the fundamental dishonesty of the entire campaign finance “reform” effort is the impetus it has received from the Enron debacle. The striking thing about Enron is that, notwithstanding all of the contributions it made to both parties, and notwithstanding that its CEO Ken Lay was the single largest fundraiser for the Bush campaign, Enron was unsuccessful in achieving the advantages it may well have sought. It failed to realign American energy policy with the U.N.’s Kyoto global-warming treaty — which would have vastly enriched Enron at the expense of American consumers. It failed in any effort to gain an administration bailout of its financial collapse. The Enron story demonstrates business corruption far more graphically than political corruption. And the bill just passed does nothing to prevent the contributions and lobbying that Enron actually undertook. In a non sequitur on the grandest Washington scale, Enron’s failure to avoid failure is offered up as a symbol of effective fat-cat access and pay off. msnbc.com
