I don't think he's dumb, but it was wide open.

I can't believe that you are giving Richard Nixon credit for how he handled vietnam.

I like bush. He makes good decisions like going to war; I don't like war but it was for the right cause. He may not be the sharpest nail in the box but i still think he makes good decitions for the counrty and the world for that matter.

I agree with you but was going to war really worth staying over there and losing American soliders from being car bombed from other terrorists who looked out for Sadom?

You newbies are worse than the kids I helped at the Easter Seals program. Seriously, do you guys get government money for being so god-damned stupid?

Okay, a repiublican may of gottin us into it FreeMarketLover, but a Democrat sure as helk did not get us out. And maybe its the first time someone told you to get over yourself to you.

If it is, that may not be the case. Lots of people who move to areas with different accents from their own adopt accents in the process. Americans in England, the English in America...Northerners and Southerners, etc.

*Shrugs.* I'm from New Jersey, as is most of my family, and I get a Southern twang occasionally when I speak. I have no idea why.

I'm fairly sure that if I met Bush on the street (and didn't know who he was), I'd deck him after a few minutes. His voice grates on me.

I heard that he uses a southern accent to make people feeel closer to him, and that he can have a north-east accent just as usual.. Not sure if that's true..

I'm fairly sure that if I met Bush on the street (and didn't know who he was), I'd deck him after a few minutes. His voice grates on me.

quote:

he's not a very likable person.

I think he would be a likeable person, but not a good president. One has to be made of a certain stuff, which I do not think he is.

quote:

You can excel in areas such as maths, economics, science, english etc, but can still have no real grip on the world, no street wise or common knowledge, wisdom doesn't come from knowing good maths. I know plenty of people who are good at everything they try academically, but when it comes to general know-how or common sense, they are very very poor, Bush falls into this camp.

There are also the people who get hundreds on everything, but are unable to take the knowledge they memorize so diligently and put it to proper use through creativity, and find the greater meaning.

quote:

You know what, okay most not all, but most of the people talking crap about bush are just agaimst him because he is a republican, and how war is bad bad bad.

Nice generalization. Unfortunately, you're way off base. Most people dislike him because of his policies, how he's essentially ruined the economy, how he's led us into a futile never-ending war, and because he's not a very likable person.

Only really stupid people vote (or hate) along party lines. I, on the other hand, hate all politicians equally, be they Democrats, Republicans, or Communists.

So you admit that a Republican got us into it?
And you are really stupid. It's not an insult. It's a stated opinion. And that's also the first time anyone has ever told me to get over myself.

Frist of all, get over your self, second of all yea, for children, speaking of children "you are really dumb" yea nice comeback!
(for all further readers, I meant to say Kennedy kept us in war, thank you to FreeMArketLover, I know my mistake, sorry for the inconvienence.)

quote:

A democrate kept us in war (Kennedy) and a republican got us out of it and the Bay of Pigs (Nixon) so take that up you alls buts

History lessons for children;

The beginning of the Vietnam War as an escalating conflict was the Gulf of Tonkin incident which happened during the Lyndon Johnson administration. Yes we did have CIA and Special forces in Vietnam during the Kennedy Admin. but they had been there since 1959(Eisenhower Admin.). So if any president "got us into the war" it would be Johnson. In reality Robert Macnamara was a key factor in the escalation of and maintainance of the conflict. Richard Nixon was responsable for maintaining the Vietnam War beyond the point of a clear objectiv because it meant political stability.

And nobody "got us out" of the Bay of Pigs. It just didn't work. Lemay and other advisors supported it and it failed. But it was a valuable experience because it taught Kennedy not to trust his military advisors. I can only imagine what the cuban missile crisis would have become if he didn't learn that.

I will take nothing up my "alls buts". You are really dumb.

See like PaintBucket, he is a real hard core politicain, hes a democrat or liberal i only know beacause the donkey, and he admits that bush is okay

You know what, okay most not all, but most of the people talking crap about bush are just agaimst him because he is a republican, and how war is bad bad bad. Guess what! A democrate kept us in war (Kennedy) and a republican got us out of it and the Bay of Pigs (Nixon) so take that up you alls buts. Yes there are some things I dont agree with Bush about like I dont agree with aborshin(ignore my spelling on words, I'm typing fast), but i believe it is the women's right. But at least I can admit to it, and I do not like Kerry at all, but there are some things I do agree with him about.

Id like to point out that even if a person is academically great, it doesnt mean they aren't stupid. You can excel in areas such as maths, economics, science, english etc, but can still have no real grip on the world, no street wise or common knowledge, wisdom doesn't come from knowing good maths. I know plenty of people who are good at everything they try academically, but when it comes to general know-how or common sense, they are very very poor, Bush falls into this camp.

I feel that bush is an awesome president because he was the one who caught saddam hussien and soon enough he will catch Ossama Binladen

Well until you do this and find out, you can't be saying he only got in b/c of money.

I don't believe I mentioned that he got in because of the money, no where does it say that. Now what is does say is that it could have been a possibility.

Bush maintained a C average. At one of the top ivy-level schools.

So he's average among the best of the country.
