I voted for AlGore, even though I don't really believe he is the dumbest man in America.
I think that the dumbest man in America must be a conservative, a Republican, or at the very least a (shudder) "moderate".
Why? It's only relevant to question the intelligence of SANE people.
I don't think that intelligence is even a relevant question for leftists. It's akin to asking if Charles Manson is intelligent or stupid. Does it matter? He's batsh!t crazy!
I didn't even vote for AlGore because I think he's the craziest (though he may be). I voted for him because many years ago -- after attempting to read Gore's first book "Earth in the Balance" -- I identified what was wrong with this man (aside from general Leftist insanity)
He's a pathological liar.
If you've ever actually met someone who is a pathological liar, you'll know what I mean. This doesn't just mean that he's a big liar, or a good liar.
For example, Bill Clinton was an excellent liar. Hillary Clinton is not as good a liar. But both, like most people, lie about things FOR A REASON -- to cover one's tracks, to avoid blame/guilt, to gain something, to purposefully mislead others, etc.. And, generally, liars both good and bad are not confabulators.
Sure, we all make up phony excuses to cover our tracks sometimes; but the pathological liar is a confabulator. He invents elaborate fantasies about the world, and himself, for NO LOGICAL REASON. Not for gain. Not to avoid blame. Just because. That's what they do. And the stories they invent usually have ZERO connection to reality.
Liberalism IS a mental disorder. But, in addition, AlGore has a clearly diagnosible mental illness for which he needs treatment and possible institutionalization.
