Dumb and dumber

 

Who said cons distrust intellectuals? Actually cons depend on intellectuals much more than dems. Just look at the number of intitutes they control (Bey mentioned some) and feed them with a constant amount of public servantas. it is the Joe sixpacks of America that distrust them. They think, and are mainly right, that intellectuals are snobs who know nothing about the real world. It is this reason why those intellectuals don't run for elections becuase they will lose to another Joe sixpack. So they chose a wieldy Joe sixpack of their own, George Bush for example, over hundreds of more qualified people, like Jeb Bush who is a prominant neo-con intellectual. This guy will be portrayed as the man of the streets, go on town hall meetings and convince people he is of their own and the opponent is an intellectual, which is a crime in some places since this means he is a "socialist" or worse, an atheist. After they win the election the intellectuals promptly take over certain aspects of policy, like Reagan's economists and Bush's neo-cons, and leave the president with most of the rest.
