I have to admire the ability of liberals to state with such certainty that
two-term Republican Presidents are dummies while adroitly avoiding the
subject of how those dummies managed to whip the collective Dem butt come
election time. Considering that the Dems have only managed to get their man
into the Oval Office for three terms in the past four decades you'd think
that liberals would be getting a bit discouraged with the theme that three
times out of four they lose to a dummy, is has to be dispiriting.

Indeed, Run The Dummy has been very successful.

Regardless of election results, the only good republican is a DEAD
republican.

"No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American
public." -- H. L. Mencken

Besides, ability to get elected and intelligence are not synonymous.

Neither are intelligence and worth to society.

Until a Dem wins you mean. ;~)

Hey, Carter is a bright guy and his administration was a mess, it almost
seems as if intelligence isn't a good indicator of how good someone will be
as President either.

We've had some pretty bright candidates running on the Democratic ticket
that didn't have a prayer. Stevenson comes to mind.

Unfortunately high intelligence frequently comes with a cold personality
(see Dukakis). Clinton too was smart and also had the empathy factor
(whether real or feigned). Trouble is, he was basically a sleazebag
too.

Carter never learned to wheel and deal. I think he was a fairly bright
guy but he illustrates my point quite well.

Overall, though, successful politicians don't tend to be on the really
intelligent side, but the good ones know how to attract people who are.

Apparently he was also a micro-manager which is a bad thing to be in an
organization as big as the U.S. govt. He also seemed to have a particular
talent for hanging a neon sign on his sillier ideas to draw attention to
them. Even if the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan really was an eye-opener
for Carter and he had just never imagined they could be so brutal and so
aggressive he should have kept that to himself as it made him look like
someone who needed a remedial history class.

Exactly, that was supposed to be one of Bush 43's positive character traits,
he was going to assemble a good team. Sadly the team included Dick Cheney,
if not for his determination to let the neocons run their play in Iraq,
well, things might be going a lot better now.

To me Bush's biggest flaw, Cheney or no Cheney, is that he apparently
doesn't encourage vigorous debate of all sides of an issue.

Initially, I thought it was a big mistake hiring Nixon's former
henchmen to begin with, but when I found out more about
the PNAC and their neonutcase ideology and dual-citizenships and the like
that he *also* hired even though
some of them are also Nixon operatives, then I thought we
are really in some serious deep doo doo. And here we are -
deep in Iraq. Sheeks!
