Kerry is sooooo much smarter than Bush?

quote: He also has had a woman drown in the backseat of his car he wrecked, while drunk

That was Robert F Kennedy

 

No, that was ted kennedy. That's one of the main reasons he's never been president.

 

u wanna know whos more intelegent, listen to them talk...it doesnt take a genious to figure out whos put their Yale education to better use...despite his presidency Im pretty sure it aint Georgie(not that Im trying to misunderestimate or anything...)
Besides u have to be that dumb to become a politician, unless ur nader of course

 

Relax, the comment was a funny antidote to the Bushisms. I don't know GW personally, nor am I a doctor, so I can't really say he is brain damaged. Not to mention the link I gave you even showed that the brain can recuperate from damage from alcohol.

 

Ted Kennedy and Howard Dean aren't our President. I wouldn't be saying anything different about GW if he were a democrat. It isn't about political parties to me at all, I think the guy is a terrible leader, and bad for the country.

 

Bush isn't very worldly wise, to say the least. He's never been outside his world of Texas his whole life. That's a shortcoming. You can tell by the way he tries to answer questions about worldly topics and has difficulty. For example, he was at an auditorium full of high schoolers and college students and someone asked him what he thought about tribal sovereignty. It was obvious he didn't have any idea what it was. He just kept stuttering and repeating 'it means you're sovereign' while the audience laughed at him.

A President should have some life experience outside of a single state and preferably outside the U.S., especially in today's world where everything is so international. I'm not a fan of Kerry either but at least he lived and studied in Europe and served in Vietnam in his younger days. In some respects that turned out to be a political drawback for Kerry in the campaign, as he had experience that could be criticized and Bush didn't.

Like most of the elite, it doesn't matter how well you perform. Kerry, like Bush, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he's set for life. I really don't care about his relative intelligence, or lack thereof. Kerry is, simply, full of shit. Everything he said was a giant turd fralling out of his mouth. He can't be honest about his past, what he did or didn't do in vietnam, how he voted, what he believes or anything. At least bush is more or less honest about his beliefs and opinions and doesn't equivocate all the time. Bush will at least look you in the eye while he's stabbing you in the back...

 

George W. Bush's problem is not just his grades and his public speaking, but a seemingly overly simplistic worldview coupled with the need to be surrounded by people who agree with him. Bill Clinton had David Gergen (a holdover from the Reagan/Bush days) to counterbalance his point of view. W has consistently jettisoned anyone who does not toe the party line. Bush's lack of ability to speak intelligently in public is a symptom of a lack of insight and understanding of the complexities of his job.

One party control of most federal government--no matter which party--(or one-perspective politics--especially those based on something as potentially fanatical as religious practice) is dangerous for the country.

 

Cheney's really the President anyway. Bush should be the VP since he is younger and doesn't have experience. It's great for Cheney, though. He can run things underground while a dupe out in the public has to take all the flack.

Since royalty in the White House seems to be acceptable now, how about a father-son President/Vice President team? I think America could accept it.

and Pika I saw that on CNN and its only 3 years of bush's GPA compared to 4 years of kerry(bush's 4th year(or lack there of (im not sure))is unacounted for...

 

no ones dumber than Cheney(he failed out of college several times)

 

cause someone lives in texas their whole life, they have no knowledge of whats going on in the world?

 

thats true anywhere

 

No, but nothing replaces experience. Someone can know what's going on in Vietnam, Iraq, or Europe but someone who actually went there and served or lived and worked there has the experience. It's much the same with the job market in general. An employer will usually take the person who has the experience rather than people with no experience who just say they know about something from what they saw on TV.

Even Bush's Dad had some experience in the U.N. and CIA. He wasn't completely oblivous to international relations and operations of the federal government

i havent spent much time in a conservative area hence i have a warped view of what fascists are like...

 

well, it's been my experience. that GPAs don't really count for much in any event. i had great GPAs, my husband dropped out. my husband is a freaking genius and that's all there is to it, his GPA can go get fucked. i held this stance when it was dubya's turn to be mocked for his grades, too. sometimes there's just too much living to be done to get much school work done.

 

Dubya sure knew how to live it up in his 20s and 30s.

who hasn't? that's the time to do it.

 

It's ok if you don't do it enough to damage your mental faculties.
