I'm sure they have a lot of mutual friends from the Viet Nam era National Guard.

Disclaimer: That's a joke and in no way is meant to besmirch the importance and reputation of the National Guard. It's just that the topic hounded Quayle then as is does Bush presently. Thank you. Have a nice day.

Quayle certainly could help Bush look smart by comparison.:p

The Democrats finally have their Dan Quayle.
Really? Dan Quayle was the first guy in his family to go to college, worked his way through school, and became a self-made millionaire?

FYI for Greeks -- Edwards' daughter Cate is a Pi Beta Phi at Princeton. As a North Carolina liberal, I bet breathesgelatin already knew that, though!

How do you figure?

I really hate the trend where political parties try to undermine candidates by saying things about their intellect. Yes, the man has a little bit of a drawl. Don't let it fool you. The guy is extremely bright. Experience in the Senate or in politics in general is something I'd almost see as a negative. He's a genuinely charasmatic guy. Quayle was not. Quayle always had you wondering WTF he was doing on the ticket. Maybe he was a life insurance policy for Bush Sr.?

It also pisses me off that liberal folks tend to call the President dumb. Dumb folks -- even with the help of daddy wouldn't be able to accomplish what he did. He was a VERY successful governor of Texas without the help of Cheney or the Republican establishment. I don't think he's been a half bad President in many respects either.

I also don't like when people call candidates names like dumb, stupid, or idiotic. Just because you disagree with someone, it doesn't mean you can be insulting.

One of my greatest hopes is that John Edwards could cause NC to vote Democrat in November :D

I have to agree with ktsnake on this point (stop the presses!) :cool: Bush isn't intelligent. He's the very picture of an anti-intellectual -- but he's FAR from dumb. He's at least smart enough to surround himself with people who have the political savvy that he lacks, and that's all he apparently needed to steal -- er -- win the election in 2000.

Haha...this asshole may be. I'm not sure yet though, so maybe I'm just half an asshole?

This asshole will definitely be voting for Bush. I want to keep the money I make, I don't want to get any closer to being a socialist government than we already are.

I don't like Bush much, but he's still waay to the right of Kerry. Kerry is somewhat to the left of Michael Moore according ot his Senate voting record -- a little to extreme for my tastes. If you want a moderate liberal, go for Nader.
