Nobel Prize Winners? 2004-07-01 16:42:43 Reply

If nothing else the Democrats have always been the smarter of a two party system. Bill Clinton is the only president to be a Rhodes scholar, while our current president can't pronounce either of those words.

It's not wonder that this little snippet shows a bit more of why John Kerry is the smart American's choice.

48 Nobel Prize winning scientists endorsed John Kerry in a letter today, calling him “a clear choice for America’s next President” and detailing how George Bush was “compromising our future.”

Now, I did some research and found that the only Nobel prize winner to endorse Bush was Henry Kissenger... yeah, it scares me too.

Anyway, just another thing, even though I'm no genius, the real ones are for Kerry... makes you think.

I'm a very left of center Democrat, and I have to say that sniping like this is immature and unnecessary. As constituents, we should discuss, not attack. We're not getting a check from anyone's campaign to drag anyone's name through the mud. At least I'm not.

Agreed, there's enough of that here already.

Agree completely.


The one thing force produces is resistance.

Ever consider the fact that Nobel winners are usually Professors at major universities that would like to see more funding for education...which is generally part of the democratic platform.

Great use of logic there buddy. Terrific.

Irrevalent to current discussion but fits with thread title:

Would a Nobel Prize winner make a good president?

Imagine the economy with a prize winner in economics or foreign policy with a Peace Prize recipient....

Sniping is for campaign ads - talk about policies or bodycounts, wherever preferable or more in abundance.
