#7  It never ceases to amuse me that Lefties actually believe that a stupid person can become President of the United States. Personally, I think our worst presidents in recent years were Clinton and Carter, but I wouldn't assume either one to be stupid. Lots of other derogatory adjectives, but not "stupid."

#4  phil_b, a liberal would never have give the soviets faulty equipment. He would ensured they got the real thing! Current example: PRC space program! How can a country that can't produce modern avionics launch space vehicles? Clinton knows the answer.

#3  Am I the only one who recalls the Leftists (and I am ashamed to admit including my own brother who is a fairly high profile American university professor) running around saying 'Reagan is stupid' 'Reagan is stupid'.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
