a Gustav tragedy will not rescue McSame & Token - We are stupid, but not that stupid.

[FrenchieCat]

Anyone talking about a possible tragedy "benefitting" anyone is full of nonsense.

1. Over the last 8 years

I've learned to never underestimate just how stupid American voters can be.

If they weren't that stupid, it would have been President Gore who spoke on Thursday, not former Vice President Gore.

2. How many times must this be pointed out?

We DID elect Gore. We had our votes canceled out by rich people.

[orestes]

3. That's even worse

if the American people let the election get stolen from them and did nary a thing about it, that doesn't exactly make them smarter, ya know?

5. You cannot criticize a culture based on the actions of another

That's the mistake Europe has made for hundreds of years.

We're a different culture. We take steps in different ways. There are benefits to that and drawbacks. We might have had a leftist takeover that took control of our nuclear arsenal and toasted the world. Would that be better? Thanks but I'll take our more careful approach.

4. You are Correct! WE might not be that stupid,

but THEY certainly are. And will be again.
