The vast majority of university professors and scholars are Democratic
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,

Remember the other guy had more people vote for him

In other words, you have no idea how the US president is elected.

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

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?

Come on, Dan, you need to put a couple of smileys after that. I live
in a university town too, as you can tell from my email address, and
most of my friends are conservatives.
