Take it FWIW.

Dr Smithpeters - 20 Nov 2005 06:39 GMT If you'll take a look at the grammar employed by those on the net who support Bush, I think you'll have your answer.

See, that's what makes you stupid. You think grammar counts for something in the real world, therefore you'll vote for the most eloquent speaker rather than the person that's more suited to the job.

It's the ability to communicate an idea.
That's what grammar is all about.
When a dolt like Bush,Jr speaks you can tell immediately that he cannot communicate in a manner that is understandable.
Many people lacking formal education still use correct grammar even though they don't know the rules.
Sarge - 21 Oct 2005 16:42 GMT > It's not the grammar. > When a dolt like Bush,Jr speaks you > can tell immediately that he cannot > communicate in a manner that is understandable. There is no Jr. behind the man's name. There is no Sr. behind his dad's name. That is a common stupid mistake made by libs.

You are free to avoid it's use. I will use it.
Junior he was, junior he is, in every way.
An incompetent loser that has caused serious damage to America. It will take years for the next president, be he or she Democrat or Republican, to repair the damage.
Only 37-38% of Americans still support him. Why are you still supporting a loser?

Many good things he has done but there is a LOT that I bitch at him for. Mainly the border situation. He pissed me off kowtowing to vincente fox and his band of thieves when he was gov. here in Texas. He also plays too much footsy with the likes of Ted Kennedy. There are many polls and we can all choose the ones we like most. Any how, go on if you like. This is a football forum and I'd rather talk football here than politics. All politicians piss me off anyway. LOL! Time to let farmers and the like run things. Lawyers and their ilk have f.cked things up bad enough. hahaha! He was referring to family calling him junior. That is what he hated. He was never NAMED Jr.

An example is Ronald P. Reagan, the son of the late U.S. president, who is not titled junior because his middle name, Prescott, differs from his late fathers middle name, which was Wilson. This notwithstanding, a son may sometimes be called junior even if he is not titled as such, because Junior is a popular familial nickname in the United States. One instance of this is George W. Bush, who is nicknamed Junior by his family. Interestingly, the son of actor Lon Chaney, was billed by Hollywood as Lon Chaney, Jr. to capitalize on his fathers success, even though he had an entirely different birth name.

Picking on someone who calls him Bush Jr. is like picking on your buddy for calling his wife the "old lady" if she's younger than him. Totally moronic is the term that comes to mind.

You have no answer. You can't rebut the argument....so you bring up Clinton to divert from the loser who only has the support 0f 37-38% of Americans....you included.

If you *really* believe that the military-industrial complex and it's security changes significantly, depending on who is president, then you're living in a vacuum.

Anyways, there's nothing wrong with what he did. He's human after all, and it's how he does his job, not how he runs his personal life. His personal life should be none of the public's buisness.

It's a easy way to distinguish between the two, as opposed to spelling out their first names and middle initials.
Anyone with half a brain would have figured that one out.

Seems to me like people voted for Bush because he _wasn't_ the most eloquent speaker, and they didn't really care whether or not he was suited to the job.
So I guess Democrats think that good grammar counts for something, and Republicans think that bad grammar counts for something. At least the Democrats' position on this makes a bit of sense.

And it's usually the Republican kids with the W buttons on their handbags (although we're seeing fewer and fewer of those) that protest our high standards. But usually because of higher skepticism toward educational types, a skepticism I don't necessarily find ill-founded.
But the phenomenon of the Righty whining about my insistence they study and read is about what I expected to see.
