Baa +1

There are words I cannot pronounce, plain and simple. There are other words that I can say but if I miss the first attempt, game over. Also I tend to mash sentences on a regular basis. Does this make me an idiot

maybe so. Of course before you judge I might tell you I once recieved a zero on a 4th quarter Calculus class because the instructor thought I cheated. When I asked why a zero if all the answers were correct he explained that I had shown no work so must have cheated. I told him that I had done it in my head and that is why he saw no work. He said

so I pulled book open and proceeded to do one after the next until I got my 100% back. So maybe me AND Bush are just idiots.

We'll just have to call you ....

Lovetoleanright

I still love you, man!

HondaGalToo · 09-13-2005, 12:52 PM

Nah, that isn't necessarily what makes him an idiot. Just a pet peeve of mine, that's all.

I disagree with many things Bush has done. But you don't call the man stupid as a political statement.

I didn't like Clinton either. But you don't see me calling him dumb, or an idiot.

Liberals are extremely arrogant IMO, and this is why they have made such a big deal about Bush's intelligence. And Bush makes it easy, not being a good public speaker.

That doesn't follow....on one hand he is accused of having the evil genius to "decieve the world"...then on the other hand he is accused of not being able to change how he pronounces a word...

Liberal dogma to a "T".

no not directly. but sometimes their upbringing has an affect on the choices them make. You can't blame parents for the actual choices but you can blame them for not giving them the proper guidance. I think the way my parents brought me up was and has always been a big part of why I've never done a single illegal drug.

and if you say its "liberal dogma to a "T"." then I can say the same type of thing for you adding in the DUI when no one mentioned it. I don't wanna hear any of that left wing/right wing bullshit. People need to stop being so one sided and just form opinions on each issue rather than be generalized as being left or right.

My extremely intelligent stepfather can't say "aluminum". He says "alunamin".

Bush still doesn't strike me as being very bright. Seems like the kind of guy that tries to surround himself with intelligent people to make the tough decisions. That could be good or bad.

That makes absolutely zero sense...but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. How does this make him an idiot/moron/etc?

Zippy · 09-13-2005, 12:58 PM

If anyone is the evil genius, it's Chaney. Bush is more like the willing marionette.

BDA116 · 09-13-2005, 12:58 PM

Einstein had a major speaking and reading problem.
I guess according to the lefties he's a moron as well.

luvtolean · 09-13-2005, 12:59 PM

CBR929, I am quite middle of the road. And I am a very pragmatic person. Someone is not an idiot for disagreeing with you.

The insinuation I was making about "liberals" is that they like to blame others for problems. I'm sorry you missed the point.

I am very liberal in many of my political opinions...and probably radically to the right on others. This is the "lot" of a person who thinks the ACLU and NRA both have it right.

Good point; I'll back you up on that one. I can be conservative, while still being atheist and disliking Bush.

luvtolean · 09-13-2005, 1:00 PM

No.

BUT, I was EXTREMELY pissed he lied under oath. And bombed Kosovo.

Absolutely. He's nothing more than hitlary's puppet.
He IS both an idiot and a liability.

How does it feel to have lived in the Bush household all your life? You must have lived there since you have such great insight on how the daughters were raised. Did you give Papa Bush pointers?

no, I got what you were saying as far as liberals blaming others for problems and I agree with that. I was having a little trouble wording exactly what I wanted to say there but I think you got what I meant. I think we're on the same page as far as trying not be right or left the whole time but rather treating each issue as separate.

I don't label myself with any of those political labels, be it left or right, republican or democrat. I'll tell you I don't even vote. I don't even like politics but sometimes there are issues right in your face that are unavoidable.

I'm done with the politics stuff now so everyone may continue bashing or defending George Dubbya

luvtolean · 09-13-2005, 1:06 PM

Why don't people just Bash Bush for his policy. Why is it personal?

luvtolean · 09-13-2005, 1:07 PM

I love politics, I vote, and I love debate.
