"Ultimately, I just hope, you can fool some of the people some of the time" You forgot "fool some of the people all of the time". Those are the ones that Roveco concentrate on. With them solidly in their camp, then they just need to fool enough to get a majority. Can't argue with success.

Ordinarily a man with George W. Bush's IQ level and academic preparation could not succeed in any of our successful business corporations. It would be very difficult for a person of his intellectual capabilities to climb to the top of Intel or even AMD. So he wisely decided to get into politics... But, somehow, he is in a position where we need an intellectual giant - or even a decent intellect who seriously applies himself. You are dreaming, the American people would never cast their vote on an intellectual giant for office! Common people vote for somebody they can identify with or just slightly above that level. Not only in the US by the way. Taro

All these disparate groups have valid arguments. It is all in the execution. But, above all, Karl Rove has done a masterful job in hiding the shortcomings of George W. Bush - his lack of studiousness, meager intellectual preparation, and poor scholarship. Ordinarily a man with George W.

Ultimately, I just hope, you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time. All your points are excellent. I won't argue with them because I hope you are right. All I know is that these are dangerous times and I watching things very closely. In every nation's history, there are those rare times where its course can be changed almost on the pivot of a dime. I think we are in one of those times. ted
