Reply #36: The choice was Al Gore or John Kerry, both intelligent men capable of leading

[JDPriestly]

or George W. Bush. And the Supreme Court chose Bush -- because he was a Republican like the majority of them. We are paying for it. The whole nation is in serious and rapid decline because of that choice. I used to think Bush was smart but had a learning disability. After all these years, I am convinced, he does not just have a learning disability. In spite of years and years and years of top schools and coaching, he is very simply a stupid man. Stupid men can lead, but they need more help than he is willing to accept to lead toward success and the well being of the society around them. With so many capable, good people in the U.S., why are we stuck with this ignoramus? He is hopelessly stupid. I'm sorry. I just can't come to any other conclusion at this point, no matter how charitable I would like to be.
