reagan, bush 1, bush 2, mccain, palin, ALL totally unqualified to be president.

[Philosoraptor]

Its a trend among the republicans, they don't want a qualified person in the oval office, they want a lacky figurehead, the less qualified, the better they like it.

1. Meanwhile, we have rejected Gore, Kerry, and....?

All demonstrably superior candidates to the lying oafs the Republicans trot out - and win with!

2. Saint Ronnie and his disciples.

I remember Republicans talking about how Saint Ronnie surrounded himself with a bunch of smart people to overcome his meager intellectual capabilities. They thought it was wise of him to do that, like it was some kind of virtue to be an idiot.

3. Oh, I dunno. I think Bush I was eminently qualified. You're absolutely right about the others.

Bush I, Poppy Augustus, may well be the man who envisioned and implemented the first part of the Bush Plan, really just an extenstion of Grandpa Prescott's Dreams, and executed well.

He was no dummy, even if he was and is a very very VERY bad man, even an evil man who was the Control Officer forthe JFK Assassination Operation, very likely...not that we'll ever know.

I mean, just look at the tremendous "evil genius" machinations Bush I pulled off to get Gulf War I started,

1) Have his oil pals in Kuwait begin slant-drilling and siphoning off Saddam's oil fields.

2) Wait until Saddam gets mad enough to rattle the sabre.

3) Send the Glaspie Memo, telling Saddam he can go invade Kuwait and it's none of the US business, we don't.

4) When Saddam invades, act highly fucking outraged and shocked.

Mission accomplished...

How he did it in such a way that even knowing what we know about the Glaspie Memo, etc. it was STILL the right thing to do, all things considered, IMHO.

Creepy, huh?

Now THOSE are some high quality Poppy Augustus kind of manuevers that indicates, even though a BAD leader, in that Bush I was even then disconnecting all the Constitutional burgar alarms and loosening what he couldn't diconnect right then for later disconnection (witness the results), that he was a frigteningly competent man.

And if he WAS in charge of the JFK Assassination Field Op, which is why he was in Dallas and perhaps why he made that call to cast aspersions on an inncocent man...



... then essentially covered up the Greatest Treason in American History, or is right after the Civil War and the Freeping of Lincoln in April 1865. What does THAT they do to our idea of Bush I's competence (whatever we might think of the things he did with those competeneces)?

You are right...except for Bush I, IMHO. That old bastard was as competent as Eichmann, perhaps moreso.

4. A lackey figurehead who can be led through the nose
