Actually, even his own men have discredited Kerry's remarks about Cambodia. Three of the five said they were never in Cambodia, and the other two aren't talking.

Kerry has said he was in Cambodia many times, including on the floor of the Senate and in a letter to a Senate commission. He even said Nixon sent him there to drop off a "secret agent," but in December 1968 Lyndon Johnson was President.

His lies are so bizarre (including the one about a hat he carries in his briefcase, which he claims a CIA agent gave him in Cambodia) that it's possible Kerry is not totally sane. He seems to confuse his own life with what happened in Apocalypse Now, in a way that's more creepy than irritating.

Several of the Swift Boat Vets are documented Democrats.

He has trouble communicating with idiots like you. Intelligent people often have such difficulties... I think he's actually pretty restrained.

I'm an idiot?  You're the one who supports a 1.68 student.

Do you mean Bush?

1) I'm not supporting him

2) that wasn't his GPA in college

3) he did well at Harvard Business school

4) probably did better than Kerry undergrad, since Kerry hasn't released his academic records and went to Boston College for law school (a good program, but for someone of his wealth and connections, not to mention Yale degree and veterans status, not overly impressive)

5) it's almost certain Bush's IQ is higher than Kerry's, though I'd be open to Kerry releasing his records; Bush's IQ is ~125, which is pretty good

1) All Republicans support Bush? Or did you forget what assumptions do?

2) the records are public, I think his GPA was at least a full point higher than that. You probably should not claim to know his GPA based on something he never even said, especially since "1.68" is more like a D average.

3) Well, I'm not sure you're a very reliable source (without links), but his grades were fine.

4) Anti-Bushers overestimate his family's influence, probably because Bush Sr. wound up being President. When Bush was in college, his dad was not by any means a national figure, nor were they obscenely rich. To this day, Bush is less wealthy than Cheney, Kerry, and Edwards.

5) Bush is not a good speaker, and not particularly great with the english language in general. But he is not unintelligent; he is smarter than 95% of Americans, which means that a lot of his critics are dumber than him.

Again, more tripe.. now "Kerry is curious." Apparently not curious enough to find out that he himself had lied about being in Cambodia on the floor of the Senate. Not curious enough to sponsor bills in the Senate. Not curious enough to actually have an opinion he will stand by on critical issues.

Being President does not require "curiosity." It requires administrative skills and leadership and the ability to make hard choices. Bush has already passed those tests... he manages his people well and is decisive, agree or disagree. Kerry is a waffling fraud that thinks he is hunting down Colonel Kurtz or something.

My IQ is in the upper 130 range, frankly a few points here or there don't matter. Bush is smart enough for the job, and his people are smart enough for the job. I will not vote for him because of a few issues I disagree with him on- since I live in a safe Bush state.
