You can put your smarmy smiley face after it, but that's exactly the type of
vitriol that nearly 60 /million/ Americans rejected yesterday.

Are those real figures or exit poll stats? The latter were horrendously
inaccurate.

Probably did well with Jewish voters, too (Ed Koch campaigned pretty hard I
heard).

And around the same number accepted it. Looking in from the outside,
having someone that stupid in the White House is very scary indeed.

Bush reportedly scored higher on aptitude/IQ tests at Yale (or in military)
than did Kerry. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Ken,

Show me a politician who didn't lie. Kerry didn't let's dad's political
influence keep him out of the war. He went, unlike the lying hero you
seem to admire. Frankly, I can't give my support to either individual,
as far as politics go. As a person, however, Kerry wins big time over Bush.

But I didn't think Kerry was good either!

I am sure that terrorists the world over will be delighted that,
having (probably temporarily) lost the USA as a source of training and
weapons, at least they have in Bush the best recruiting sergeant any
fundamentalist could want :-/

Many do: the point is, this time there was apparently a sudden and
significant increase in the proportion of Republican voters who did
so.

Pity about all the lies he felt he had to tell to justify it, really,
but I await with interest the US invasion of Zimbabwe, which meets all
the declared retrospective criteria for invading Iraq. I might even
start to like the man when he takes out Mugabe.

While that obviously would please you, there's another possibility: that
two relatively free societies will emerge in a long-repressed region, and
masses of people will see that and decide that THEY want some of that, too.

Chris Matthews went from giddy to downright glum in a matter of minutes.

If by Leftist you mean traitorous lying pig, then...well, you're still
wrong.

Now now, Bill, patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel you know.
There is such a thing as a loyal opposition. Loyal to the country,
that is, not to whichever clique controls it at any one time.

Loyal opposition is fine (and valuable), Guy. Distortions, dishonesty,
outright lies and yellow "ambush journalism" aren't in that category.

The man is vile.

His IQ tests and his academic achievements don't mean anything.

The only measurement that means anything is Guy's assessment of him as
stupid. The sooner you learn that, the better.

Why don't you and your countrymen get off YOUR arses and do it?

You've amply demonstrated your own superiority to any American --
sorry, USAian -- you lot ought to be able to do this without breaking
a sweat. Wind, perhaps, but not sweat.

I'm not going to add anything to this thread beyond
asking you to search through 50 years of Israeli history
for evidence that the Arab world thinks Democracy is the
way to go.

Hint: Israel does have a right to exist, as much as Iraq, Iran,
Syria, the Lebanon, Oman, etc. have. So it's not about that, there.
