2) I will post more later, just wanna throw this down here

"Hey, it's obvious from my posts that I am much stupider than all the liberals who post here, right? I listen to Rush. What more do you need to know? I could fill a whole page with the names of conservative intellectuals, past and present, light-years smarter than 90 percent of the denizens of the District of Columbia. But who would notice?

Tom, I think you (again) mischaracterize what most liberals think- in this case what they think about the American Right.

Most (but certainly not all!) really dumb and/or uneducated people I have met, its true, are conservatives- but not all conservatives are dumb (IMHO). You, for example, I could not disagree with more on many issues. HOWEVER, I don't doubt your intelligence for a moment.

I grew up in Oklahoma- Chok full of people who could not read, drove a truck, and talked about "a-killin' dem dar GOD-damn lib'rals"... People who justified their political views by contrasting themselves against the other side- who were, in their word "A buncha damn Faggots". So I know a lot about ignorant conservatives.

Bush is, really, not a bright man. We all know this. He is not stupid because he is a Republican, he is stupid because he behaves like a stupid person.
