I don't think you detected my sarcasm. No, not everyone that didn't vote for GWB is an idiot. My point is that it doesn't make much sense for people to call GWB an idiot when he has been elected president twice. Most of the time, those calling him the dumbest human ever are those whom he beat in 2000 and 2004. So voting for Bush's opponent doesn't make you an idiot by default, but what makes you an idiot is claiming Bush is such a big idiot.

GB won because he was THE Republican candidate. it also doesnt hurt that his father was a former president, a respected one at that. he was practically a shoe-in. the Dems didnt exactly have the best candidate themselves. Clinton probably could have beat him though. wonder why he didnt run back then.. was he still in college?


A shoo-in?? Are you kidding? Bush won during the Democratic 'glory years'. The economy was doing well (it had started going downwards, but they waited until Bush was in office to disclose that) and we were in times of peace. The fact that the incumbent party didn't win still amazes me to this day (well, until I think of Algore).
