I don't respect Bush, and I don't see how I am fighting a point on his behalf by calling idiots stupid.
Bush is probably of above average intelligence (graduating from Yale and Harvard makes that pretty likely, as does his performance in debates), and he's doing a pretty good job at what he's supposed to do - getting people to vote for him.
Most of the people who call him stupid, on the other hand, are dimwitted nobodies who don't know the first thing about politics, economics, international relations or anything related. Their whole political position is based on irrational preferences, and the only justification they are able to give for their position is that "the other guy is stupid". Whether you agree or disagree with Bush, shit like that simply doesn't cut it, especially if you're an idiot yourself.

You know what the difference between you and me is? I know what the fuck I am talking about, and base my judgments on knowledge, facts and likelihoods, while you are just parrotting sound bites.
I agree with what you're saying, and I'm fairly well read politically. I'm not going to go into much depth for the trolls of GFY, however. There's no need for analytical political research and dialogue in a thread that's read by people who don't give a shit. I'm not here to write papers on the social dynamics behind political parties, and the atrocities either one of them commits behind the scenes. Really, that would be petty and I'd be wasting my breath.

I'll just leave this as my closing argument. If it came down to one person to run this country... Bush or Kerry, who would you trust? Bush has already proven he cannot be trusted. Bush lied, thousands died... and Bush wasn't even elected.

Nothing more need be said.
