Kerry wasn't really that smart.
Difference:

Kerry ended up being a top notch politician and war hero.
Bush ended up being appointed to government by daddy, and went AWOL when it was his turn for combat.

You can cling to that if you want...

A top notch politician!? A war hero?! You're kidding me...

He was a much better politician than Bush - i.e - he was actually fairly elected to his office, not put there by his connections.

And he also recieved two purple hearts and commanded a PT boat during Vietnam. Much better than smoking pot and going AWOL, don't you think?

Kerry got a D in PS, and at best, an 89 in the same.

Let's compare, shall we?

  • Kerry got four D's his freshman year. Bush had one D throughout his whole college career.
  • Kerry's D's happened to be in Political science and history classes. There's a "top-notch politician" for you -- someone who nearly flunks PS.
  • Bush's only D was in astronomy, which should have little importance in a political career. However, he manages to pull off B's in history, anthropology, and philosophy.
  • Kerry pulls off an 89 in PS his senior year.
Who's the idiot?

And I do not consider a "top-notch politician" someone who votes to reduce the US military to spitballs and then categorically deny and/or change his stance on that issue.

That's all.

Do you realize that US military spending accounts for half of the entire world's military budget? Half. No one could possibly reduce the US military "to spitballs" if they tried. Hell, you could stop spending money today, and in 30 years it would still be the most powerful.

Unless you have it on good authority that Russia, China, Egypt, India, Brazil, Israel, North Korea, Britain, Japan, Germany, Mexico, France, Iran, Turkey, Argentina, Poland, Canada, Venezuela, Syria, South Africa, South Korea and Australia are all going to attack at once, don't talk to me about the poor, underfunded military.

They're both idiots, and none of them got a single A thoughout their entire college career.

Bush probably bought his grades though. Of course, I don't like Kerry either nor any politicians for that matter. The founding fathers knew what they were talking about and it's all gone downhill since then. (except for ending slavery, etc.)

What's the point? The only thing that matters is that we still have an idiot in office.

And yet these are the people the American people choose to represent them.

At least us Brits had no choice about John "3 GCEs" Major becoming leader of the Tories :p

Solatar's political view:

Bush is an idiot. Kerry is stupid for losing to an idiot. Therefore, Bush is and idiot and Kerry is stupid.

As if top academic grades automatically constitute leadership ability. The real idiots were the Dems who put an uncharismatic twit at the helm instead of someone like John Edwards, who could've actually given Bush a run for his money.

Not really. The Democrats had no platform, even by US standards. They can't give anyone a pounding for Iraq, because they supported it, so they resigned themselves to crying over details. Same with PATRIOT etc. They tried to beat the Republicans at their own macho, militaristic, WE WILL CRUSH ALL ENEMIES game, and of course failed.

I never classify politicians as a high class of people...ever. They definitely all have their flaws.

You know what? We should just have standardized testing for office. We can rank all the states, and then representatives will be allotted based on their scores on the exam. Cheaters will be thrown in a federal prison if they're caught, or automatically promoted to the Supreme Court if they get away with it, but come clean.

To keep everyone happy (intellectuals and the "everyman"), a coin flip following the exam will determine whether the highest scorer or the lowest scorer on the exam will get to be President. The next highest (or lowest) will get to be Vice President. The losing pair will end up as the Rhode Island senators.
