Default Re: Of all the Republican Candidates, who is the stupidest?

I'm not sure how anyone can make a call about "stupidity". Probably most of the candidates are not stupid.

In terms of candidates I fear the most - Rudy is at the top of the list by a wide margin. Broken window theory on a nationwide level = prison industrial complex and military state go go go

Yeah I was trying to differentiate between a stupid candidate and a legitimate threat. For instance, Dick Cheney is frightening, while George Bush is just retardo.

Also the reason I limited it to Republicans is because they've had the only debates thus far

As far as Hillary's book, I think it's a pretty big assumption that she is not lying. I mean, she was probably already considering running for President at that point (I assume you mean her most recent book) so you can't expect a tell-all soul-baring life story.

No, dems have had a debate too, did you miss the Gravel moments?

It's hard to tell is GWB is actually, say, less intelligent than average. I would doubt it, I think most of it is just a show.

Honestly, I don't follow presidential politics closely enough to know or care one way or another. Whoever they vote for, we'll remain in a corporate aristocracy.

Speaking of being informed, what is so "scary" about Giuliani?

Other than the "freedom means giving up freedom and doing what I tell you to do" authoritarianism?

That'll work, whats the qoute with him saying that?


Edit: Don't qoute me the out of context speech from the forum on crime in which Giuliani said people don't have the right to be criminals, and it has been misinterpreted to mean people don't have the right to be what they want to be.

For a while, Hilary was my #1 most feared candidate, but I'm starting to agree that Guliani is even worse...
