In article

thlink.net,



says...





Awhile ago, Harry posted the results of a poll which

showed

that

the



18-29





year old age group supports Kerry. I think we've found

the

answer



"why":




"A new Gallup poll says that 53 percent of Americans

between

the



ages




of 18





to 29 do not know who the USA fought in Europe during

World

War

II."



Democrats. The party for the uninformed.

The leader of your party is less informed than many high

school

seniors




and clearly demonstrates a lack of historical context when

sending



our



kids across the globe to fight and die for his ideological

whims.

Republicans worship the uninformed because "he's a regular

guy

like



me."




So which is worse, an uninformed electorate or an

uniformed

President?



Duh.


They support Kerry because they don't know who we fought in

WWII.

OK.



Got




it. And, the tail light on my trailer went bad because I

ran

out

of



baking




powder and forgot to put it on the shopping list.

I'd think the uneducated would cleave unto a president who,

while

standing




next to the prime minister of one country, said he was from

a

different




one.




Or a president who, if you spun a globe with the names of

the

various



countries removed, and asked if he could point out the

locations

of,



say, 20 countries...couldn't.

Just your opinion....certainly not fact though.




"The only thing I know about Slovakia is what I learned

first-hand

from



your



foreign minister, who came to Texas."-To a Slovak journalist

as

quoted



by



Knight Ridder News Service, June 22, 1999. Bush's meeting was

with

Janez



Drnovsek, the prime minister of Slovenia.

ROFL!!!!!!!!



Do you suppose your moron could've mustered the brain power to

prepare



for a



state visit and know something his guest's country, or at the

very

least,



know that the person he spent time with was the head honcho?



Until he was appointed POTUS, Bush was probably the least

traveled
president of the 20th or 21st Century. He hadn't been anywhere

outside

the US except Mexico, I think, and that was only to get drunk

and

laid.



Similar to Clintons experience prior to becoming POTUS. Clinton

probably



has the edge on blowjobs and getting laid though.

Remeber that clinton dodged the draft by going to England.(back

when
avoiding going to veitnam was admirable)....and managed a war

protest

trip


to Moscow at the same time




Lucky for him...finding England and Russia on a map would have

been
difficult for him otherwise. ;-)



Once again, d.f., Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar.


And Bush was a Yale grad with an MBA.




So? Bush got into Harvard because of connections

So? Clinton went to Oxford and received draft deferments because of
connections to influential people including a judge, the head of his

local
draft board, and a US senator.


And lying his ass off to get the scholarship....based on the criteria

Mr. Rhodes' Will contains four criteria by which prospective Rhodes

Scholars
are to be selected:



1.. literary and scholastic attainments;


2.. energy to use one's talents to the full, as exemplified by

fondness
for and success in sports;


3.. truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection

of
the
weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship;


4.. moral force of character and instincts to lead, and to take an
interest in one's fellow beings.

The Rhodes is more about being P.C than actual scholarship




Seems as if yo uwould not qualify on any of those conditions enumerated,
eh?



What a good argument Harry.


What do you expect from a bitter old man that has spend is life living off
of other's earnings?

Let's see if I have this straight. FYI, Nixon's cover was blown by 1970. It
was clear that he was not playing with a full deck. Anyone who was honest
knew the war was a sham, and the reasons behind it had been discredited at
least 5 years earlier. The secretary of defense even said the whole thing
was ridiculous. Clinton hooks up with the CIA, which is looking FORWARD
toward the next issue, and that's not a way of serving his country?

Doug,
You're not really going to align yourself with perhaps the dumbest poster to
post to rec.boats since...well...ummm, maybe...ever? Are you?

An inhabitant of Greece can be called a "Grecian" or a "Greek".

Read:
Gre·cian (grshn)
adj.
Greek.

n.
A native or inhabitant of Greece.

Don't forget DURING the 2000 campaign, Bush once
referred to the inhabitants of Greece as the "Grecians".



Let's not forget the classic: Hispanical


Did he really say that? When and where? I don't
object to beating up on the guy for his boneheaded
utterances, but make sure they're real. The only
references I could find to bush+hispanical in Google
were on satirical pages.


LOL. Your internet searches failed to find any of the numberous sites that
define "Grecian" as a "a native or inhabitant of Greece".

So here's a link for you:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=grecian

Gre·cian (grshn)
adj.
Greek.

n.
A native or inhabitant of Greece.

His dad bought his way to Harvard.

Awhile ago, Harry posted the results of a poll which showed that the

18-29
year old age group supports Kerry. I think we've found the answer "why":


"A new Gallup poll says that 53 percent of Americans between the ages

of 18
to 29 do not know who the USA fought in Europe during World War II."

Democrats. The party for the uninformed.


The poll says nothing of what percentage of those polled were either
Republican, or Democrat.


That's a good point. If it were *all* Democrats, the number would have been
much higher than 53%.


You just love showing your ignorance, huh? That statement is nothing
short of stupid.

Some sons and daughters of the wealthy do well for themselves and
society despite their familial connections. Dubya has done well only
because of his family's wealth and connections.

I've never been able to understand why you righties are so much in love
with Bush. He's an intellectual mouse, a man of no ideas, a terrible
speaker, he lies constantly; he's a lousy father, a drunk, a cokehead,
he's little more than a figurehead, and he's gotten this country into
more trouble around the world and put it at more risk than any other
president in the last 100 years. Yet none of you righties will even
acknowledge he has serious shortcomings.

Amen. I may not adhere to a conservative social agenda, but a
conservative fiscal policy makes sense to me, but Bush has brought big
government back. Not including security/defense items, spending has
ground an average of over 10% per year, much of it deficit spending. The
reasons for Iraq keep mutating. Bin Laden is still bin Missin', and the
scandals make Slick Willie's administration look clean. Let's see, there
is the WMD investigation and the Niger uranium forgeries, Cheney's Energy
Task Force, the Plame Game, the Medicare Drug Scam ($400 billion becomes
$540 billion and bribes for votes), Halliburton overcharges, the GAO
investigating the White Houses' video news releases, the Chalabi Iran
"spy ring", . . .

Once again, d.f., Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar.



And Bush was a Yale grad with an MBA.


Bush got into Yale as a "legacy admission": his daddy went there. It
was a form of affirmative action.

Not sure how he managed to get a Harvard MBA, but I suspect some of

Bush
I's money had a lot to do with it.


Bush was referred to as a "legacy" by many while he was an undergrad at
Yale.

You should try and get a college admissions counselor to sit down and talk
to you sometime. Get him/her a little bit drunk. You'd be amazed at what
goes on in the name of "legacy admissions", or when a wealthy potential
donor is lurking behind the student under consideration. Or, even worse, to
quote a counselor I speak to daily, "His grades were marginal, but the
marching band needs brass and the kid's been playing trombone since he was
11."

Read something by Warren Buffet, Jack Welch or Lee Iacocca. If, after doing
so, you think Bush is in the same category, then you are even more of a
dimwit than we originally thought.

And what has being a Rhodes Scholar got to do with being a leader?



1) Please find me 100 people who would be willing to say, on live
television, that a candidate appeals to them because he's dumb.

2) It has nothing to do with leadership. It has everything to do with
potential, and the ability to interact intelligently with people and
cultures of all types. In case you haven't noticed, what the POTUS does ends
up influencing a large part of the world. Even Slovenia, or Slovakia, or
whatever.

Yes, and a psychiatrist trained in hypnotism could conceivably be called a
somnambulist, but the word's not in common usage any more. Neither is
"Grecian" commonly used to refer to people, just objects. The dictionary is
full of words you *could* use. It's up to individual to know which ones are
appropriate to use.
