coltrane34 Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Just because someone can play football does not translate to being a leader in this country. Brady's intelectual values have never been tested. Who cares if he has won some games, is that going to help him balance a budget or determine the best way to fix social security? Name recognition should no longer be the primary basis for getting into office in this country. What are all of our future leaders going to be groomed in Hollywood or the NFL? Maybe I will push for Vin Diesel the congressman. http://www.newsday.com/sports/columnists/n...orts-columnists

Marshmallow Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Brady doesn't come off as the sharpest tool in the shed in interviews either. 227076[/snapback] He sounds like a genius compared to our president
PromoTheRobot Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 This explains why Brady is so beloved by WEEI...he's apparently a Republican, being invited to last year's State of the Union address to sit with Mrs. Bush. Boston may be a liberal town, but most of the hosts on WEEI are staunch, on-the-GOP-payroll, right-wing, Bush-lovin', mink-wearing, Republicans. PTR
stevestojan Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Brady doesn't come off as the sharpest tool in the shed in interviews either. 227076[/snapback] Well, our current president uses words that don't exist, and the one before him was getting blown in the oval office. The standard isn't what it used to be.
mead107 Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 he might be better than ted k :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:
coltrane34 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Posted February 3, 2005 Yeah where are these standards leading politics? Pretty soon we won't care what our leaders do as long as they look good and apologise for their mistakes.

PTR 227090[/snapback] Yeah, it's tough to get away from that Republican political machine in Massachusetts.
coltrane34 Posted February 3, 2005 Author Posted February 3, 2005 Are you saying Ted Kennedy is good looking? 227113[/snapback] Oh yeah in a fat, red eyed, drunk kinda way. He gets all sorts of chicks at congressional functions.
TigerJ Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Brady is still playing QB. He is certainly a number of years away from running for a high office like senator. Just because he's not qualified right now doesn't mean that in ten years he won't be a lot more qualified. I would also want to know what his college major was. Basket weaving? then no, I wouldn't want him in politics. Economics? Political science? Government? Well then he just might have a foundation on which to build. To judge his qualifications and abilities now is just WAY too premature.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Hey, anything's possible. And that's the frightening thing here. Hell let him become a politician for Mass or Cali. I don't live, and don't plan on living, in either state ever.

A quick google search led me to this page, which reveals Brady's major in colege to be "organizational studies." Not entirely sure what that, but I imagine it might involve studying organizations.
bflo83 Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 He'd make a good member of the Log Cabin Republicans....not that there's anything wrong with that!
shibuya Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 kinda represents how much is wrong with our political system. Its a popularity contest more so these days, and thats not a good thing

And maybe it just involves things like: Unit I: The Trapper Keeper Unit II: The Filing Cabinet Unit III: Manila Folders vs. Colored Folders and so on...
