Can anyone convince me that Bush is not an idiot?

Question

Please don't tell me about his bought and paid for college grades, or his flying of fighter jets,which he never did.
Show me tangible truth that he is not an idiot.

Nikki are you the best and brightest the Republicans have to offer here?

a_wood80 ...I seriously hope you don't believe Bush flew that plane , it was flown by another pilot.Bush was a passenger on it.

Answer 1

He's also anti- on the following: American Children's Health Care, Civil Rights, Gun Control, Increasing the minimum wage, Citizen Diversity, Poor People, Balanced buget, Minorities, Homosexuals, Voting Rights,Meaningful social programs, Free Speech, and Prosperity. None of which makes any sense, just as he is Pro- on the following: Death penalty, war( Even if the country we're fighting has never attacked us or is proven to be of no threat), Racism( Has no agenda for promoting race relations or upholding the civil rights of minorities, remember the Jena 6 case and the Katrina victims! He also spoke at Bob Jones University which is a known racist Institution but was refusing to speak before the NAACP which is an organization founded by both Blacks and Whites to uphold Justice.), Torture, and Disingenuousness!

If any of these so-called Conservative Leaders on here had a CEO in a company that they owned who caused a marketing war with another company that they could not win that lasted for 7 years and cost the company a trillion dollars with no profits being made, lied about their dealings constantly, hired individuals that were not qualified to fill positions and overlooked those that were qualified, responded very poorly to company crisis, caused almost a million people to be terminated for no identifiable reason, had no vision for the company, illegally wire-tapped all of the company offices, and indirectly leaked important confidential information to major competitors, Would he still be working for that company? What would you do to him? This is nothing but "Bad Leadership" at it very best! Sounds so much like our current President don't you think???

Answer 2

With no evidence he convinced several coutries that there were WMD in Iraq.

He knew that by just mentioning Terrorism, Al Queda, 9/11 and Saddam Hussein in the same sentence over and over again that most people would beleive that they were all involved in 9/11.

He was able to steal an election in the United States while we all watched.

He was able to triple the price of gasoline.

He was able to award billions of dollars of contracts to his friends without bids.

Nearly all of you believe that the country cannot afford Social Security even though the deficit it would take to pay full benefits is less than what he is currently transferring to his freinds in government contract in Iraq alone.

He made twenty million dollars by borrowing money from the owner of a baseball team to buy a share of his baseball team, and then sold the share back to him for a twenty million dollar profit.

How did I do?

I guess I may have just proved there are a lot of idiots to go around.

Answer 3

No more than someone can convince me that you're not an idiot. If you already have your mind made up that he is, what good would it do and what would it matter? These mindless neverending Bush bashing questions convinces me that people really don't know how to overcome their liberal illness that rules their very souls with hatred and malice and seemingly incurable. Your very question speaks volumes of the lack of intelligence you have as you cannot come up with a good question. Sometimes I guess the truth hurts.

Answer 4

I don't think he's an idiot, but I don't think I can convince you. I think he pretends to be dumber than he is. The problem is not his intelligence, it's his incuriosity, his intellectual laziness, his lack of open-mindedness.

During the 2000 campaign Bush pretended not to be able to pronounce 3-syllable words. I noticed his accent also came and went, based on where he was speaking or who he was talking to--in fact to this day it's stronger when he's in Texas or the South than when he's in Washington.

The American culture has a very unfortunate streak of anti-intellectualism. We just don't trust people who seem to be too intelligent. The Republicans have always played on this. In presidential campaigns, every Democratic candidate since Adlai Stevenson (at least) has been bashed by the Republicans as being somehow too smart, therefore not to be trusted. Look at how they talk about Al Gore--too brainy, out of touch with reality.

Bush ran for president as the 2nd Reagan. His basic campaign theme was 'Vote for me, I'm just as ignorant as YOU are!' He wasn't able to answer questions not because he was too stupid to know the answers but because he was too intellectually lazy to educate himself. It wasn't -about- education. "I don't need to know that," he said, "I can hire people who know that."

And, like Reagan, Bush's pretended ignorance supports 'the doctrine of plausible deniability'. When Reagan's staff misbehaved and broke the law, Reagan was able to say he'd had no idea what they'd been up to. And you only had to listen to him for five minutes to believe it was true!

Answer 5

He graduated Harvard with better grades than John Kerry, whose intelligence liberals never questioned. He didn't pay anyone to take an exam for him like Ted Kennedy (Teddy was expelled for that, how come libs don't refer to him as an idiot). Over 50 million voters elected him president, twice, and he is in the White House, you're asking questions on yahoo from...where? It doesn't sound to me like you can tell who's an idiot and who's not.

Answer 6

If G.W. is an Idiot what does that say about John Kerry,Al Gore and the Majority of Americans who Elected him to the White house two times?If he could run for a third term he would be re-elected again.

Answer 7

Bush applied to the University of Texas Law School. They turned him down, even though he was connected, because they determined he was academically deficient. Bush then went to Harvard Business School (actually NOT one of the top business schools, despite being Harvard). It was the 1960's, Business was not popular, they were desperate for enrollment, and he had the money to pay.

Answer 8

There's a broad area between not being a good President and being an idiot. Look at President Clinton. He was a Rhodes scholar, but couldn't remember if he got a hummer in the oval office.

He indeed did fly fighter jets. The most recent time being when he landed on an aircraft carrier as our President. Or maybe you missed that. He also graduated from Harvard and Yale. Back when that meant something.

Just because he's not that good at being President doesn't make him an idiot. Stephen Hawking is a genius, but I doubt he would be a good President.

Now, can you prove that you're not an idiot without referencing any of your accomplishments?

Answer 9

Anyone with half a brain would know the man is as dumb as a box of rocks....

However, I'm more concerned about the dumba**es who voted for him.....and the idiots who decided not to vote that year.

Wonder if they will all sit on their butts in next years elections too....and then moan and groan about who is elected?

Answer 10

If you already have your mind made up then no one can convince you any other way ,just like a doubt that I can convince you that Bill Clinton is not an honest man who sold out his country to a foreign government (China) I would bet you think he is a great man, and we need another President just like him. I don't try to convince crazy people of anything other then what they believe, because it just make their mental illness even worse.
