[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay: [QB] You want me to defend my intelligence? Where do you want to me to start? <ul> [*]You want me to list my degrees? [*]You want me to list books I've read? Fiction or non-fiction? [*]You want me to list poems I've got published? Er, one. [*]You want me to list papers published? [*]You want me to list the intangibles? </ul> What is it you want. You want me to point out that I'm not trying to be the fucking POTUS? Do we not hold the POTUS to a higher standard now? Or was that just Bill Clinton morals? What? You want me to point out the ideological differences that seep into every thread here? How bout I point out that that the right in this country don't seem to have a fucking clue about sub cultures that permeate this bright big world that we live in. Maybe you would like some books that you could read on the subject? Would that do it for you? I've told you before Omega, Frank, and anyone else out there that actually has a care to listen, I can only base my feelings on Bush on what he says and what he does. Is that clear enough Sally? And by what Bush says and does, he does not come across to me as a very bright bulb. In fact he comes across to me as a rather dull one who wanted something and his family went about the best way they knew how to get it for him. And yet if I question the fact that he looks like a deer in the headlights when asked a probing question, I get the sychophants that come screaming out of the woodwork and tell me to proove it. Empirically? What does Bush read? Fuck if I know. Fuck if you know. Although it strikes me that he read cue cards pretty damn well and takes to coaching with ease. Does Bush discuss philosophy in his off time? Fuck if I know. Fucj if you know. Does Bush discuss foreign policy issues in his spare time? Fuck if I know. Fuck if you know. Does Bush know presidential history beyond Daddy? Fuck if I know. Fuck if you know. I'm no real defender of Bill Clinton, but I at least know that he has a ravenous appetite for reading and presidential history. And I don't have to climb into his sock drawer to know that his Rhodes Scholarship gives him more credentials and ease with extemporaneous issues than a co-authored book that to me smacks of more marketing than ideas when it comes out during a presidential race. At this point I think that Bush is little more than the second coming of Warren Harding. Maybe he'll prove me wring...or at least his handlers will. All of which lead me to say that there are some rather glaring holes in his well purchased education that neither his poor public speaking nor his ghost written book fill. Bascily I need Bush to show me that he's smart, and I do not think that he has done so AT ALL to this point. Nor in my opinion...which won't really get to change until I get to talk to him in person because his self appointed defenders in here rather suck at defending his intellectual record...likely to change anytime real soon. Could it change? Sure. Is it likely, nope. Prove to me that Bush wrote his entire platform as you seem to claim Omega? Oh, wait you can't. Logically that is the other side of the prove to me he's a dumbass coin. But no, you unpucker your lips enough to say 'hey, someone else said something somewhere that no one answered so I'm not going to talk anymore.' Fine. No one, not one single fucking national politican, can say that they looked at the budget for a decade and fixed it all by themselves. My opinion, and mine alone is that Bush, like most national politicians, and more than most, is a product of marketing and is a package presented to the public that really would not stand close, unrehearsed and unsupervised scrutiny. Pardon me if I let my anger show, but I get tired of people responding to subjects with nothing deeper than a: Raul: Prove it... Vladimir: No... Canuck: Right on Bro... And those others who hide behind a pithy sentence rather than a deep nuanced thought. If the world if black and white for you, it's easier that way isn't it? So go ahead you cool right wing fellows, pick out the sentence that pissed you off most and speak to that and ingore to the rest. That's what we're good at here. Either that or you can fall back on that tried and true strategy by sniviling 'you didn't answer my question.' Still, I'm looking for some meaningful discussion about President-Elect Scarecrow and his brain from the other side of the fence...which by the way, wasn't the real reason for the thread, but thanks to Omega, it is now. Damn, an actual argument about issues would be nice too. Merry Chrimble again..... [/QB][/QUOTE]
