Idiot: A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three years and generally being unable to learn connected speach or guard against common danger. Sound familiar ???

Belief often makes people ignorant. In fact, one of the many contradictions in the Bible say that it's better not to be intelligent, because knowledge corrupts(or something like that). But in other passages, it says that God given intelligence should be used for good(or something like that). This is why they say ignorance is bliss I guess, cuz if all were stupid, then no one will be the wiser. Christians really do believe what they believe and so they will often be tested. It sounds stupid to others that don't see their point of views exactly. This is why George W Bush is still president, and why ppl still root for the republican party even though they see it and the president falling out of grace.

I don't think people hate President Bush, but I do think they strongly disagree with his policies because those policies hurt America. On his watch, the budget surplus was given away as tax cuts to the rich instead of used to fortify Social Security or increase national defense.  Because he ignored Osama Bin Laden during the first 8 months of his term and ignored the memos about terrorists learning to fly airplanes, we were not prepared for the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. President Bush's policies ignore the advice of scientists, putting our health at risk and putting our environment at risk. Because of the systemic torture committed in Abu Gharib and across the world in our name, President Bush has damaged America's moral standing in the world. Because his administration really did not learn the lessons of 9/11, President Bush lost us an entire city, New Orleans. And while New Orleans was drowning, President Bush was literally playing guitar with a country rock star. The buck stops with the President. His behavior is confusing, and his policies have helped make us look weak and have left us open for disaster.

Did you know the smartest people are the ones that act dumb? Take Einstein, he wasn't a great student in school. And if you see how he talks you wouldn't consider him smart. Most genius are mental and not verbal. Not saying Bush is a genius, just saying he is smarter than you think if you consider how he fooled us all into a war. I wanted Bin Laden's head for 9/11 and got all these innocent dead people instead.

Is it really possible to be dumber than Bush? Looking at the posts from fat old fart and pobept, I'd have to say it is.

I love how the best that most people can come up with is that he is dumb or stupid..............at least if you are going to take a position know why.  I don't agree with everything that George Bush has done.  I hate that he can't admit that we have been in Iraq for way too long or that our budget is in a major state of crisis, however, I think that he has lead this country in a direction that he though was right and that he has lead this country through some of the hardest times that we have ever had.....and if you hate President Bush so much, than maybe you will get passionate about your right to vote.

At least twice each week I read the rant of another angry American who declares that Bush is an idiot, but if they're just figuring that out now, they're throwing stones from a glass house. \nOf course he's an idiot. They needed an idiot. If the man displayed any signs of intelligence, evil actions couldn't be passed off as "failures" or "bungling." If the president were intelligent and scholarly, people would question why he's completely incompetent, but because he's an obvious buffoon, many people accept that as the reason everything's going horribly wrong. It's also a lot less distressing to believe that your government is incompetent rather than know that they're evil, and most people will cling to that comfort. \n\nThe real problem is that if people blame Bush's idiocy for our troubles, they probably also think that the solution would be to get him out of office, but if they think we'll be saved by "Hillary in '08," or any other politician, they're even slower than Bush. \n\nRegardless of who's occupying the White House, there has never been an idiot running this country. There's too much power and money at stake for an idiot to gain control of it. If the president is an idiot, he's only in the White House because someone else has firm control over him. Someone somewhere has a lot more control over the fate of this nation than our "president" does. \n\nOf course this reasoning begs the question "if this country isn't being run by an idiot, why is everything going so horribly wrong?" The answer is that it's going wrong by design. \n\nThe questioner makes the assumption that this country is being run by people who are acting in the interest of Americans, but nothing can be further from the truth. Instead of accusing Bush of doing a lousy job, or being a lousy president, please try to think in terms of Bush's "boss" being someone other than the American people, and his "job" as being to grab as much cash as he can for himself and his friends before driving this country into the ground. If you look at his presidency in that light, you can instantly see that he's doing a marvelous job, and he's the best "president" an enemy nation could ever hope to see in the White House.The fact of the matter is that America as we know it (or knew it) is being systematically destroyed, and the politicians from both political parties are making this possible. \n\n\nWanna Read MORE About This???

That's a stupid question... every country has stupid people. You're a fucking retard. What country are you from? 'Cause you're obviously part of their STUPID population.\n\nAnd just so you know, Neilman, many Americans HATE Bush with a passion and definitely don't follow him or his beliefs. So grow up and open your fukcing mind. You're pathetic. And there's nothing we can do about Bush, except wait until his term's over. DOUCHE BAG!

I believe President Bush is not the best public speaker. Maybe you could even say he is bad. I don't think that is a reflection of his intelligence and truely I don't believe anyone could draw that conclusion solely on how he presents himself. I believe everyone here including myself is not in a position to say since none of us know him personally. I can say that he was educated at some of the best schools in the world. Yale University, bachelor's degree, history, Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School. If I had to guess, I would say he is intelligent.\n\nHistory will be the judge, 50yrs from now everyone who has put down this administration will see for themselves how truely stupid they were at the time.

I don't think he's stupid. He's just not a great speaker. He's not a slick talker or snake oil salesman like Clinton or Kerry. I would say he's highly misinformed on the immigration issue.

LOL Please, only people who think he's a good president are hard core republicans.\n\nDont get be wrong, Im solidly middle of the road on most issues, i support our millitary 100%. I think Bush needs beter advisers, cause I dont think he's got the right stuff to be the Top man. Partly politics is bad for this country, that goes for Democrates, Commies, Libratarians or what ever. \n\nI'm all for some of the things George W has done, I just think he did a poor job on almost everything he's got involved in.
