If I may return the conversation to the original question...
What president do YOU think was our most intelligent...
Was it Kennedy, who told Berlin and the world, "I am a creme-filled doughnut!"
Or perhaps Clinton, who told the US, "I can spend your money better than you can," when asked why he wouldn't support cutting taxes even though there was a gov't surplus...how about when he said the now infamous..."It depends upon what the meaning of "is" is..." Yeah...that was brilliant...
I can list other presidents of the past who have said stupid things...but since your statement implied that you were not going to vote for Bush because of some of his stupid slip-ups while speaking...perhaps I'll just concentrate on Kerry....who you seem to be implying you will vote for because of his eloquence when compared to Bush...
"I actually did vote for the $87 billion, before I voted against it." --Sen. John Kerry, on voting against a military funding bill for U.S. troops in Iraq
"You bet we might have." --Sen. John Kerry, asked if he would have gone to war against Saddam Hussein if he refused to disarm
"Who among us doesn't like NASCAR?" --Sen. John Kerry
I will stand up and struggle, as others have, to try to get that right balance between violence, and sex, and things.

I don't own an SUV,'' said Kerry, who supports increasing existing fuel economy standards to 36 miles per gallon by 2015 in order to reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil supplies.
Kerry thought for a second when asked whether his wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, had a Suburban at their Ketchum, Idaho, home. Kerry said he owns and drives a Dodge 600 and recently bought a Chrysler 300M. He said his wife owns the Chevrolet SUV.
"The family has it. I don't have it,'' he said.

"I am for raising that minimum wage. But you have to do it a rate where you're not creating upheaval in the economy. But in many public places, we have living wages already being put in place.
So I am very much in favor of individual effortsfederal government and othersmoving to help create the ability for people on the wage to be able to make it and do better. But within the private sector, I think we have to ratchet it up at a rate that is acceptable to the marketplace so we don't have an economic dislocation. But we have to start to get people able to earn more."

Wow...what a genius. I can see why you would vote for Kerry simply based on all of the intelligent things he has said...
The bottom line is, Padisha Emperor...if you had cameras on you as often as these people do...during times of stress...or times when you're not ready to be filmed...during times when you have to make your 20th speech of the day, and its a speech that your writers handed to you five minutes earlier...YOU WOULD PROBABLY FLUB UP NOW AND THEN TOO!!!! The fact that you are willing to state you AREN'T VOTING for someone because of it is absolutely ludicrous...you probably shouldn't be voting at all...it is obvious that what you consider a reason to vote for someone is completely inane.
To look at the issue SERIOUSLY....
Bush said, "The terrorists never stop trying.....and neither do we." You know what? We all know what Bush meant to say...we all knew that he flubbed up and he didn't really mean that...
Kerry said, "I actually voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it.." You know why you should be scared, Padisha, about voting for this man??? BECAUSE HE MEANT THAT!!!! He seriously felt that the right thing to say at that moment was that he voted for the bill to fund our troops before he decided not to fund our troops...
Bush mixes stuff up alot...he isn't a good public speaker and he admits it...but at least his ridiculous statements are mix-ups...Kerry actually BELIEVES the tripe he spews!!!
