Counting you it makes at least 6 bush cultists who are ashamed to admit that junior isn't very bright. Now y'see, here you think I'm a "Bushie", but I'm not. I actually voted for McCain in the primaries, but I definitely voted for Bush over Gore. I wasn't keen on the hint of "nepotism" that Junior's election brought with it. (But that doesn't seem to bother Liberals, who all seem to want Hillary to be the next president.) But Bush is our president, good, bad, or indifferent. Bush hasn't been perfect, but he also hasn't sold our country out to those who would seek to "waffle" in the face of a terrorist threat that wants to destroy us and our way of life. And Bush, to his credit, has held the UNSC to task, and essentially told this often corrupt group of sanctimonious windbags that if they fail to uphold binding UNSC resolutions, then the US will do it for them. The bottom line is I don't need to be smarter than Bush. I just need to be smarter than you... And the fact that your only demonstrated knowledge of foreign policy consists of Anti-Bush rantings only convinces me that maybe you are suffering from an inferiority complex. Because what is easier than personally attacking someone who can muster the intellect to debate? Maybe the real problem is that Bush is smarter than you, and it pains you to admit it. Hawk

Bush is Forrest Gump to the slightly intelligent cultists. He may not be smart, but his INSTINCTS are true, and his heart is pure! He prays and God guides him. Then there are those that believe that Bush's "dumb" act is just that, an act. That the way he speaks is deliberate and carefully calculated to get the dumb and fumbletounged on his side. They believe that he is the Machiavelli of this age. Bush has found enough votes on the left side of the normal curve of intelligence to get elected, barely, twice. Whatever the truth, the harm he's done this country isn't in question. It'll take decades to reverse, if we manage it at all. Bush may have ruined America.
