Is George Bush insane or just stupid?
There's no third choice. The man either believes the words that come out of his mouth because he's a fool, or he's just plain out of his mind.

So let Rethugs take their pick. They can vote for a total imbecile who was told he was selected by God. Or they can vote for a madman who really believes he was selected by God.

(Yeah, the third choice is that he's just lying, but that takes a certain amount of effort, and lying is hard work.)

So what do you think? Stupid or nuts?

4. He's a stupid madman
One of the most dangerous beings out there. Hitler was similar - if you actually read his writings, you realize that he wasn't really that smart. He saw things so completely in black and white and he surrounded himself with people who were able to, Rove-like, tailor his appearance and speeches to make the most possible impact on the average Germans. But he himself was no intellectual giant - not even close.

9. evil
pure evil. He has unleashed hell upon the people of Iraq who have done nothing against us. Sent 1060 of our soldiers to die for a lie.
Look at the pictures and read the stories of our fallen, and there is no doubt. He is just evil. Without a conscience as much as any common murderer, he just happens to be rich.

15. My guess is that he's either dyslexic or has early dementia leading
to Alzheimer's. In any case, he's definitely an evil man.

Insane: ----------
Stupid: ------------

Hehehe....

Actually, I side with "insane". He and his croneys are megalomaniacs; that's a form of insanity, isn't it?
