Unfortunately, that's the way people work. I do it. You do it.
If we both take honest looks at Bush and Gore, or anybody else, they both have good and bad traits, motives, abilities, and both can seem intelligent and asinine.
Our opninons depend largely on whose 'good' traits we'd prefer to concentrate on, and whose 'bad traits' we fixate on. Neither you, nor I, nor anyone else here can deny it.

When he learns to speak coherently, or maybe when he says something that sounds remotely intelligent.
Or when I find a new target!
Belief in God is not a necessary condition for knowledge of the Bible. MRC01
Nor is it a requirement for public office in this country.

Does the same logic apply to Al Gore Jr? Sorry, I forgot that Al actually flunked out of a college so it's not a fair comparison, LOL.
Now, if only someone could find the college thesis written by Hillary. Rumor is it makes Marxism look conservative. Wonder why she wants to hide that?

The thing that convinces me that Dean is not so bright is that he is willing to represent only a fraction of the Democratic Party. He is not willing to represent the moderate or conservative Democrats. For that matter, the leadership of the Democratic Party has been hijacked by extreme leftwing people. How do you win a national election with only a fraction of your political party? I personally think that if Dean is the Democratic candidate he will be lucky to carry five states. Maybe when the Democrats get run over like Saddam Hussein's army, they will remember the rest of the Democratic Party. With the kind of people running the Democratic Party today, I will find glee in their total defeat. It is frankly not honest to represent only a fraction of the people that you claim to represent. The Democrats are likely going to lose worse then the Denver Broncos.
I am still a registered Democrat and I guarantee you that I will vote for Bush. I sure will not vote for Dean or Clark, or Hillary if she decides to run.

mystic - just out of curiosity, which democrats does bush represent exactly?
i haven't decided yet who i'll vote for, but i do think that dean is fairly representative of many democrats. he has a favorable nra rating, he's fiscally conservative, and he's been respectful of constitutional rights. this is 2/3 better than the current admin.
just because the DLC is more interested in getting the corporate kickbacks that the GOP gets doesn't make them representative of anyone other than themselves.

Many of you seem to be missing the point. Whether or not you want to continue the path toward Socialism makes it a no brainer for whom you will vote. Look around and see what is going on where this evil comes to power. Someone on this board suggested this country has gone too far to be saved. I believe this road toward Socialism will destroy the greatness this country has been about, as well as how and why it was founded so that men/women might be free. Where has it ever worked? We need to seriously consider what the Left is doing to us when we come to vote. I do.

Item 1. The ACLU just got a million-dollar settlement from a California school district for not protecting homosexual students from harassment and abuse from other students.
Item 2. Another student in California who headed up a conservative student organization in his high school and wrote an editorial about enforcing existing immigration laws, incurred the wrath of the Hispanic students and was threatened and harassed. Ducked into a classroom to escape some people and the teacher told him to get out. Principle essentially told him it was his own **** fault. Betcha the ACLU isn't interested in protecting his free speech.

johnnyo - funny how the free speech thing works...I've noticed this in pratice a number of times.
Your kidding, right!!!! I'd rather have a well spoken/quick witted individual who can effectively convey a thought or foreign policy decision WITHOUT constantly reading word for word of a slip of paper. Sorry, but when Bush is speaking directly from the essence of his wit/stored knowledge, where he is coming up with the verbal text of his argument, it does not give me the warm fuzzies. He may be able to give a decent prepared speech, but when he does a press conference where everything is straight from his brain, well................., you make the call. I can't wait to see how Bush does in head on debates about where the WMD are with the Democratic nominee. Or the 45 minute imminant attack against us by Sadam; the Iraq survey group can't hardly find even a production line let alone the viles and viles of WMD that were the basis for this war, not the only basis, but the Overwhelming basis as spoken DIRECTLY from GWB's mouth. All W can say now is they used chemical weapons in the past and he murdered hundreds of thousands of people. I garuntee that there wouldn't have been that much support for the war in Iraq if all the talk about "immanent attack", unmaned arial vehicles spraying chemical weapons over New York, or how Sadaam was so in bed with Al-Queda were not the overwhelming basis for invading Iraq

And if some of you Dean bashers would read the new Time magazine or Newsweek, you'd see that liberal state democrats in Vermont were more angry with his "conservative policies" than conservetive democrats were with his liberal policies. He was viewed there as more "republican" than democrat, and it angered many liberal democrats. He not so willingly voted for Civil Unions; and did it not on the basis of believing or wanting homosexuality to sweep the nation, but that gay couples needed the same legal/financial benefits as hetrosexual couples. I'm not really a Dean supporter, but I hate how he's being mislabelled by many news outlets, chiefly Fox news. The whole anger thing is way out of line as well IMO. That's just my opinion, I could be wrong
Flame away; I can already feel the heat!
Here is what happen to little Jessequote:

The national media will never touch a story that puts Gay men in a bad light. And people wonder why gay men want to be let into the Boy Scouts as scout leaders. Because thats where the "boys" are. Yet be a 21 - 35 year old guy and say you want to be a scout leader in the Brownies & the Girl scouts and you would be labled a pervert and pedophile.
