He thinks we're stupid.
He's the explainer in chief to all us idiots who don't understand that we're fighting an ideology.

Oh My God. :rofl:

3. Yes. He said he has to be the Educator in Chief
and keep explaining to us morons why he's right and we're wrong.

4. We elected him twice.
Yes, yes, Katherine Harris and Diebold, but you can't "win" an election if it ain't at least close. He acted like we were stupid, and he was sworn in January 2001. He acted like we were stupid, and the Republicans picked up seats in November 2002. He acted like we were stupid, and he was sworn in again January 2005. It has been a strategy that has, up until very recently, worked very well.

6. Gore did win the popular vote
They couldn't have stolen that one without the Supreme Court and Diebold.

9. Diebold?
I wasn't aware that FL had computer ballots. In fact, I'm rather certain that the electoral issues with "hanging chads" and "pregnant chads," as well as the ridiculous Buchanan vote total, were the reason why we got Diebold machines. But either way, it doesn't really matter that Gore won the popular vote. It was close enough to steal, meaning that Bush's plan worked. Treating us like idiots, even while stealing an election, has been a very successful strategy for them.

11. Well the ChoicePoint erroneous felon purges helped the Fucktard**
in FL, didn't it? Having the Felonious Five on the Supreme Court helped him further. As far the the "we elected him twice"...I think not. No collective "we" no how, no way, but if you're willing to place yourself in that collective "we" then go right ahead. I did everything that I knew to do to keep the idiotic, braindead, spoiled, man-child from being "elected" in '00 and '04.

12. So did I. So did everyone on this site.
But we, as Americans, gave him enough votes after being treated like morons that he ended up being elected twice. And, as such, his treating us like idiots was a very good political strategy.

14. And I strongly object to your "we" and "we as Americans", this is the
folly of the braindead repukes and independents who voted for the moronic freak. So please exclude me and others from your collective "we"s.

Treating "us" - no I saw through that stupid SOB from the get-go as did many on this site - hell even my kids thought he was a fucking joke like the Pat Paulsen for President campaign that they saw on reruns of Laugh-In, and it was a sad day when I had to explain to them that this Bush** idiot was in fact a REAL candidate for the presidency of the US.

If you choose to wear the collective "we" and "we as Americans" hat go right ahead, but leave me and mine OUT of it.

20. HE is stupid on policy and that's why GOP allies needed to control voting machines
and the input and output of those voting machines.

It is also why GOP allies spent years buying up control of broadcast news networks - to protect whatever figurehead they would put in the WH while they manipulate public opinion.

5. Didn't you know? The ONLY problem he's EVER had
is finding the right way to explain it to us. He honestly thinks that he just hasn't catapulted the propaganda the right way yet.

7. So his real problem is that he's sorely misunderstood
and unappreciated. History will reveal his genius.

10. That was the exact point of a Tom Friedman column right before the Nov election.
Best column Friedman has written in many years. Bruce Springsteen keeps it up at his site.
