1994-2000: R controls congress, D controls presidency

That's a convenient lapse of memory. And 6 years at that!

Neocon, heal thyself. Didn't think you'd have anything more substantive in response. I did... which of course you conveniently ignored above. It's ok, it was over your head, as I suspected it would be. Stultus es, stultus semper eris.

No.

The resident Phi Beta Kappa is advised to review a middle-school civics class curriculum - paying particular attention to the concepts of "presidential veto," "congressional override" and "2/3 majority" (this last one may require a math review). I hasten to remind you that the U.S. Senate is currently comprised of 49 Republicans, 49 Democrats, and two Independents; the House of Representatives is 233 Democrats and 202 Republicans. It's funny how during the Republican congress of 1994-2004, whose majority was not substantively different to the current Democrat majority was such a threat to all you Dems - they were a leviathon that could not be stopped! The horror! The humanity. Now you've changed your tune. An analogous majority is "impotent". Typical. And laughable. And keep rationalizing as your party does little different than the last. They do want to stay in power you know - that's the goal.

You need to acquire some reading comprehension skills. 1. it's bad netiquette to nitpick typos. 2. there was another Democrat a few years ago with the name Kerrey. Sorry that I don't care a wit about the latter fellow to remember how to spell his name versus the other. Damn those folks at Ellis Island for their inconsistency. 3. nausea - yes indeed a Latin first declension noun. It is disappointing indeed that of the 6 languages I know, I could not remember if it was a masculine or feminine noun. At least I remembered that the preposition "ad" governs the accusative case. I'm sure you know all of this of course, being so brilliant.

For once we agree. And it's not just WalMart. We are doomed.

EXACTEMENTE! Bonus points for Olyclimber today!

Why isn't the Democrat majority in congress getting us out of there? If a D gets into the presidency, and we have 4 years of Democratic leadership - we'll still be there, and the left-wing press and all you leftists will suddenly cease talking in terms like "quagmire". Magically it will all be better - with nary a change at all, except a D indicating he president's party affiliation.

Not true at all. Statistically, there is a strong correlation between intelligence and higher education, especially post-graduate degrees. The correlation is even stronger w/r/t tier-one schools. And I'm sure Bush's credentials compared to those of a huge chunk of the participants on this forum will bear those statistics out - with only a very few counterexamples. But, taking that aside, Bush's malapropisms and mangled statements are no worse than those of the average smug, arrogant, Bush-hating detractor on this internet forum. And it's ironic to listen to some vitriol spewing dimwit with no higher education dismiss Bush's educational pedigree as "meaningless" (a la No. 13 and Adam 13). Bush's intelligence or supposed lack thereof has been discussed ad nauseum both here and elsewhere. The fact is, he is a highly educated man with above average intelligence. He's obviously not in the 99th percentile but I don't really want a quantum physicist running this country (or our dear Gary Yngwe for that mattter) for the very reasons stated by you - high intelligence often does not map to practicality in the real world. But you can be damn sure that neither Gore nor Kerrey is much different in intelligence than Bush (in Huxleyan terms they are all typical BETAs and nothing more). To state otherwise is a laughable claim easily explained away by rose-colored glasses tinted by political group-think.

Thus speaketh the master of disjoint, rambling run-on sentences.

Yep, and I'm also a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

Those two statements one after another speak volumes.

Must suck to be stupider than that buffoon, with less education, "No. 13 Baby".

Bottom line: Bush may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he can run circles around you.

Nice to see you're giving "Clinton did it!" a rest. Clinton went to a real college and got a respectable degree or two. And you?

same question for you: what degrees do you have, and from where?

Do yourself a favor - google "legacy admission" and spare yourself further embarrassment. I mean, the guy couldn't even get into the UT law school (his first scheme to avoid Vietnam) because his daddy couldn't buy his way into a public school. Extra credit for finding the speech where Dumbya himself - the posterboy for white affirmative action - calls for an end to legacy admissions. And what are your educational credentials, pray tell?

The only freedoms I see taken away are due to liberal ACLU lawyers.

Walking through the doors of WalMart is like walking into a scene in Deliverance. No thanks.

when exactly did you have your cranial-rectal inversion operation? before or after the full frontal lobotomy?
