How do we beat this ?

[Racenut20]

Bush* is spoken of (Imus for example) as the "really a good guy surrounded by the bad guys", and he needs to get rid of them.

On the other hand, there is this campaign image put forth of a strong and decisive leader who makes all of these decisions himself.

If that is not a direct contridiction, then I don't know what one is. How do we get that question raised?

1. last campaign it was "dumb guy surrounded by smart people"

his response to charges that he's not too bright was that he would surround himself with bright people.

well, if you can't think for yourself, you'd better be on helluva judge of character and talent.

his management style forces him to be responsible for the character and talent of his subordinates. it's absolutely his own damn fault if he's surrounded by bad people.

2. People are known by the company they keep....

When they lie down with dogs, they get up with fleas. A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes...You can call a horse's ass a leg but that doesn't make it so. A chicken has a brain this big (0) and it has the sense to get out of the rain... :)
