2. How 'bout a tangible third choice, like say...
a used styrofoam coffee cup?

5. How about Howdy Doody vs Lamb Chop?
They're both just puppets.

8. No, Howdy Doody was a marionette and Lamb Chop was a
puppet. Come to think of it, that is a good explanation of the difference between the Gipper and the Shrub.

4. Reagan thought he was in a movie, had alzheimers, Mr.bush...
has little curiosity, no imagination, has something physiologically wrong, as yet no dianoses public. Intelligence? Not my word for either.

13. Reagan knew a ranch from a pig farm
And he could make facial expressions which had some relevance to what he was saying. Both those tasks seem beyond George Wastrel bush.

18. He could memorize a script and say the right things with right tone.
He confused reality with movies, but was a much better presenter than the decider is.

6. Reagan is STILL smarter than booosh
and he's dead. And I never thought Reagan was very bright.

7. Reagan had a more flexible mind.
He had a better staff and more policy debates. It's not saying much, but it's true.

much as I hated Raygun I would have to say at least he had Nancy who worried about his legacy and I believe he actually had a heart.

10. As an actor Reagan had a script he followed but the WH Idiot..............
....doesn't want to follow a script, he wants to do it all his own way. Remember above all though they were/are both neocons/fundies.:banghead:

11. If I had to make a choice, I'd say Reagan but only
because he could memorize lines and put on a convincing act. The chimp just comes across as a complete dumbshit.

12. Idiot, meet moron. Moron...
It's a tie. Not for who is MOST intelligent, but rather for who is LEAST intelligent. Both of them have double digit IQ's.

16. Reagan was a creep but he was clever.
He was also *uncommonly* articulate in his pre-presidential years. Yes, he could deviate from the script and make sense extemperaneously. Bush is also a creep but he's not clever and he can neither think clearly nor speak coherently.

20. Reagan didn't start Viet Nam II and he outmaneuvered a Dem Congress
Edited on Tue Jun-06-06 11:30 PM by Selatius
Bush Jr. will be remembered for starting a second war in a lifetime with no exit strategy and no clear measures for victory. And Reagan got his tax cuts through despite Democratic domination of both chambers of Congress. He knew how to beat Democrats down.

22. They are both dumber than posts.
As an actor Reagan was able to spew BS in a persuasive way sort of like Rush Limbaugh does. Rush is dumb as a post too.

23. What's smaller - a helium atom, or a hydrogen atom?
:rofl: When you start talking about differences THAT small, it becomes moot.
