You do have to be moderately intelligent to get a real Ph.D., but
integrity is optional (if desirable). If I had to have business
conversations with boorish Dubbya supporters like you, I'd be sorely
tempted to keep my real political opinions well disguised.

Like I said, the real world is a little more complicated than you seem
to think. The fact that I think that Dubbya is presenting an
overly-optimistic and ill-thought out strategy does't imply that I
agree with everything that Kerry says.

For the record, I don't think that either candidate is silly enough to
use outright lies in their presentation, though the Bush camp does
appear to be spreading outright lies about Kerry through Karl Rove's
backdoor operations - which appears to have sucked in uncritical
right-wing nitwits like you.

Both candidates are obviously spinning the truth as hard as they can,
and the electors have to read their comments very critically - not one
of your obvious strong points.

As I said, I'm not volunteering to try to educate you - I'm really not
that good with slow students, least of all with those as bumptious and
obnoxious in their ignorance as you are.
