His last name didn't have anything to do with it either.
drivemytrabant said:Stupid people don't graduate from Harvard and Yale let alone attend. Period. This being said--is IQ really a deciding factor on what makes a great President? If memory serves--the Presidents with the highest IQ were Herbert Hoover and Richard Nixon.
drivemytrabant said:
If Bush Sr. got Bush Jr. elected--you have to wonder why this awesome political force and powerful influential incumbent President (powerful enought to force his will on the American people to elect his son) was crushed by a little known governor from Arkansas in 1992. The idea that W. was elected on H.W.'s coattails is as ridiculous now as it was in January 2001.

If Georgie boy had any other last name in 2000 McCain would have been on the Republican ticket, don't kid yourself.
Just keep telling yourself that.Kerry has completely flattened Bush on the debates.
BonoVoxSupastar said:
IQ isn't a deciding factor, but a president should at least come off as someone who's a little more intelligent than the average Joe.

As I said, Harvard and Yale must have thought he came off as "more intelligent than the average Joe."

And if Al Gore was not the vice president to a extremely popular president, Bill Bradley would have been on the Democrat ticket. If John Kerry didn't go to Vietnam he never would have been elected to any government office at all. George Bush was a immensely popular two term governor from Texas.

Fine, let's assume Harvard and Yale are the bastion of education, and that they attract the brightest young intellectuals. Did Bush get into H/Y because he was an exceptional student - the BEST OF THE BEST - or because of his name and influence?
BonoVoxSupastar said:
I'll agree with you about Gore. Bush was not that popular in Texas. I lived there during his reign he was nothing special, it's just that Texas likes their Republicans.
drivemytrabant said:
Texas does like their Republicans--well enough for W. to receive nearly 60% of the vote in the 2000 election.
