What's a neocon? Why won't you answer that question?


It's because he doesn't know. He is uneducated and unintelligent.

Yup. School administrations are full of them.


With apologies to the good ones, in the midwest it seems if a school principal
is male, the odds are that he is an ex coach, usually football who taught
American History.

The vast majority of university professors and scholars are

liberals. Very few are neocons. The neocons just can't make the cut

into
higher
education.
They just aren't smart enough as Bush so eloquently demonstrates.

So, if Bush is so stupid, why is he President and you're just a bitter

old
man?


Because the supreme court elected him,


Ah, another person who wasn't paying attention to the US and Florida

Supreme
Court decisions. Read up on it and come back.


You notice that no supreme court justice has retired during this particular
presidential term? There is a reason for that.




Remember the other guy had more people vote for him


Umm, the President isn't elected by popular vote. Go read the

Constitution
and come back.

Which is an interesting commentary on the state of the Supreme Court
appointment and confirmation process.

Clearly there are several members of the court who have expressed a
desire to retire or who are demonstrably in declining
health--Rehnquist, O'Conner, Ginsberg for example. Note one
conservative, one swing and one liberal in their judicial temperment.

Bush sought to have them delay retirement until '02 hoping for a
greater majority in the Senate and therefore easier confirmation. That
didn't occur. During the second half of his first term, he was forced
to ask them to hold still longer (at least the conservative/swing
member--the liberal member would delay hoping for a more sympathetic
president/senate to determine her replacement.)

Now, the '04 election will very clearly determine if the floodgates
for a court transition are opened or simply trickle. We might have to
see deaths on the Court rather than retirements.

It isn't uncommon for a presidential term to go by without
appointments to the Court--the average through the history of the
court is about one per term and since there are plenty of examples of
multiple appointments in a term, there are necessarily a lot of
no-appointment presidential terms.

That's not a certainty. Some of those votes were "cast" by the dead,
some
were multiple votes. If the fraudulent vote could be discarded it would
likely leave a majority for Bush.


And in any case, irrelevant.


Yup.



Its the Electoral College votes that matter.


Yes, but the previous poster was referring to the national popular vote.



You may not like that but its the law.


I have no problem with it.

Not me (assuming I'm a Neocon. Sounds like I'd like to be one if you
despise them so.)

I enjoyed every chad hanging moment by all those Q-Tips down in Florida.
