Bush Must Think The Average American Voter Is Stupid

Today, GWB is in Montana flogging his agenda and suggesting Democrats are bad for America. I don't know about you, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of uniting going on by the supposed and self proclaimed "uniter, not a divider."

The W, Rove and Co must really think that the average American Voter is downright stupid. Otherwise, why would they feel the need to break down the very complex geopolitical climate and substantially challenging issues that he and his party have created (e.g. Iraq) in to two very straight forward concerns that are followed up by the usual dualistic rhetorical prop where one side is always wrong and their’s is the only “right” way?

Is any one else offended by how stupid they must think we are?

There's a lot of big issues facing the voters around the country. The two biggest issues are these: Which party is going to keep your taxes low and keep this economy growing; and which party is going to take the necessary steps to protect you in this war on terror. (Applause.)

First, let me talk about taxes. See, we have a philosophy -- Conrad and Denny and I have a philosophy -- we believe that you know how to spend your money far better than the federal government does. (Applause.) That stands in stark contrast to the Democrats, who want to take more of your own money because they think they can spend it better than you can spend it.

AUDIENCE: Booo!

Gobbling up the rhetoric is a specialty of the GOP faithful - like eating chips and dip at a Superbowl party - They can't stop themselves. After gorging yourself, your stomach hurts for days and you are not healthier for having consumed such tripe.

By the way, when the President says "we believe that you know how to spend your money far better than the federal government does," does he include himslef in that derogatory category? If he doesn't, perhaps we should hold him to his beliefs. I can think of about 1000 better ways to have spent the near trillion dollars that he has borrowed to pay for his Iraq conflagration.

Well, here's another fun dose of the tripe the GOP faithful are eating for lunch today. Enjoy:

THE PRESIDENT: On all these vital measures -- measures necessary to fight and win the war on terror -- the Democrats in Washington have followed a simple philosophy: Just say no. When it comes to listening on to the terrorist -- listening to the terrorists, what's the Democrats' answer? Just say no. When it comes to detaining terrorists, what's the Democrats' answer?

AUDIENCE: Just say no.

THE PRESIDENT: When it came time to renew the Patriot Act, what was the Democrats' answer?

AUDIENCE: Just say no.

THE PRESIDENT: When it comes time to questioning the terrorists, what's the Democrats' answer?

AUDIENCE: Just say no.

THE PRESIDENT: So, when the Democrats ask for your vote on November the 7th, what's your answer?

AUDIENCE: No! (Applause.)

W may not make a good president, but he appears to be a good cheerleader.
