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,

Remember the other guy had more people vote for him

But Bush won the Electoral College.

Have you noticed All the Florida recounts done since 2000 show Bush
winning?

If you want to refight the last election go right ahead. I am more
interested
in the next.

So if bush wins the popular vote and loses the electoral you'll be happy???

No, but I won't argue the outcome ad nauseum.

That

damn near killed all of us before we even got to the ETO. The Baltimore
Whore,
The B dash Crash, the flying coffin, the one a day in tampa bay and the
widowmaker.Be glad you never served in one.

Just FYI, Art: they were still using that "one a day in Tampa
Bay" line in 1969 at MacDill - except the planes were by then
F-4Es of a Replacement Training Unit for the Vietnam war.

There was nothing defective about the aircraft or the maintenance,
either; it was the inexperienced drivers that put 'em there.



Is that from the 1,000 houirs you flew the B-26?

So, Art, how many hours do you have as a B-26 pilot? Whats that? Zero? Oh
yeah, you were just the bombadier, not the pilot.

That will never be forgotten

What Art has forgotten is that the President isn't elected by popular
vote.
Perhaps he needs to go back and read the Constitution.

This is the same constitution that as originally written counted a slave
as
3/5th of a man and didn't allow women to vote.

Actually, if you read it, you will find that there is NOTHING in the
Constitution that disallows women the vote. That was based on other laws,
but not the Constitution.

We now have a system where the candidates only care about votes in 14 of
50
states. IS THIS A GOOD IDEA????

Then change it.

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.

And?

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.

What? Not finished reading it yet?

Which was exactly the point I tried to make to ART. Believe me, I know how
the President is elected.

I never mentioned Electoral votes in my post. The topic of Art's post
was
the popular vote.

Then you are wasting your breath--the nationwide popular vote does not
mean
squat.

From http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/2000presgeresults.htm

Popular Vote:

Bush: 50,456,002 47.87%
Go 50,999,897 48.38%

Looks like more to me!

Uhmmm...I believe his point is in regards to the votes that actually
count--the Electoral College ones. ISTR Bush got more of those?

Art, can you name the other presidents who were elected with
less
than
a
majority of the popular vote? Or have you forgotten them?

A straight popular vote would have the candidates only care about 3
*cities*. NYC, Chicago, and LA
The metro areas of those cities comprise ~40 million people. Equal to the 23
smallest states.

Is THAT a good idea?

More people have died in a Cessna 172 than a B-26.

Airplanes aren't unsafe, or bad, but the drivers do silly things.

Thanks for the list. You won't hear much about this factoid on the
mainstream media, however, given that the last president to get a
popular majority was Ronald Reagan--twice.

I used to whisper to my wife (you have to whisper about such things
when you live in a university town): "How come Reagan keeps getting
elected if we're the only people voting for him?"

Didn't Bush win a majority of the popular vote in 1988?
