I probably should have said "intellectual elitism" or "intellectualism." Despite his Yale education, Bush comes across as (and is, as far as I can tell) a buffoon. Too much old-school "polish" from guys like Kerry and Clinton makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Damn shame.
My impression is that Republicans paint Democrats as inept at money management, soft on crime, and morally flexible. Yes, that seems to be the case to me, too. The difference I guess is that I dismiss such ridiculous and pointless assertions. I guess a lot of people don't. This is the big problem with party politics -- everyone of a given party gets painted with the same brush. Absurd.
Welcome back, by the way. :-) Glad you had a nice time. Thanks. :-) The sun was so nice! Still, it's good to be home and planning my garden!
