I don't get it?

You just figured that out?

Damn straight I don't.

I am not trying to paint Bush into a corner, I am exploring the notion that he has actually not been in a corner this whole entire time.

I am tripped up, however, on the persona shifts which you confirm are not only real but natural. You submit it is a normal thing for southerners. And especially effective for Harvard educated Northerners cum Southerners.

I'm wondering at this point, what is the real Bush?

LOL Nash, you would be harder pressed to devine "who is the real Kerry"

Bush does what he says.

I'm getting the suspicion that the answer to all this is so obvious that you cannot get there by actually thinking about it. Will only get ya more lost...

Bush is a very smart man who does not feel like he has to prove it to anyone. He would just as soon let them assume he is a stupidhandsomehunk. This is a common Southern trait, and pretty much the opposite of his opponent in this election.

One more at bat....

"He would just as soon let them assume he is a stupidhandsomehunk."

That's the whole entire weirdness.

Because he KNOWS how to form complete sentences, appearently.

So if he does NOT form complete sentences, then he is making a DECISION not to....

.....in order to "let them assume he is a stupidhandsomehunk."

This is what a President does?

Bah...

That's some type of game a chick would play in order to get ya to take her to a certain restaurant.

Read Faulkner.

Nash, you are assuming Lizking has some insight into how Bush thinks....which I was finding kinda funny

Shuckins · « **Reply #97 on:** July 23, 2004, 12:27:46 AM »

Nash,

Most Southerners grow up not giving a dam about correct grammar. Even those that go off to Harvard never completely lose that lackadaisical attitude towards speech. They can use the "King's English" to make a coherent argument when among those who consider themselves to be highly literate. While this may seem to be a contradictory statement, both are parts of the same personality. One aspect is natural, the other is learned, both are real and are prized by the individual.

It is not how he thinks that I presume to know, it is how he acts that I can see.

Shuckins · « **Reply #100 on:** July 23, 2004, 12:32:26 AM »

Liz has a point...if you allow your enemies to endulge their fantasies of superiority it puts them off their guard...and makes it easier to de-nut them.

NUKE · « **Reply #101 on:** July 23, 2004, 12:35:49 AM »

I suspect Nash is realising that there is more to Bush than he thought possible. He is showing a curiousity and interest in Bush that reveals a certain respect for Bush....and that's one of a lot things I like about Nash.

Nash is a true open minded, creative thinker in my opinion.

Nash · « **Reply #102 on:** July 23, 2004, 12:35:58 AM »

Shuckins... as far as my limited understanding goes, yers makes the most sense to me (which might be what Liz has been saying but I've been too dense to understand).

ie..

Bush's chosen/natural language is "Southern", but can at will speak "Northern" if the situation calls for it.

Quite true.

Nash,

Good discussion. Enjoyed it.

Take care,
