His communication skills as well as his narrow vocabulary are telltails to me that GWB isn't mensa material.
By the same token, using big words a lot is no guarantee of intelligence either. That GWB chooses to speak in the venacular, rather than try to impress people with the number of syllables he can string together, is part of the reason he's popular with the people. But peace, Nash. The main point I was trying to make is that many of Bush's detractors keep making blanket statements about his supposed lack of intelligence, but with little or no hard evidence to support it. My opinion, of course, so no more or less valid than your own.
As far as "faith" in GWB, well I suppose you could call it that, but that would be too strong a word. I support him; I admire and respect him. I do not consider him infalible, however. Over all, I think he's doing a good job in difficult times. If they were to write that on my tombstone, I wouldn't be too disappointed. I'm glad he won the election, because I think he's doing a better job than Gore would have. No way to know that of course...just my opinion, based on what I've seen of both.
