I've said this before, but it's worth saying again.


Say it all you want but it wasn't worth saying before and it's
still not.

If this is the
typical Dem's view of the average American public, then they deserve
not to get elected. It's been this exact attitude that's lost them the
last two elections, which they should have both easily won, and if
they make it three in a row, maybe they'll finally do some navel
gazing. But if they persist in blaming the American voter as being to
stupid to vote for them, they deserve what they get.


Most Americans believe that Saddam Hussein was behind the 9/11
attacks. Most Americans believe that god created humans in their
present form less than 10,000 years ago. Most Americans cannot
name *ANY* current US Supreme Court justices. Most Americans
cannot name the three branches of government and more than one
in three believes that the three branches of government are
Republican, Democrat and Independent.

The American voter is stupid alright, dumber than a box of rocks.
And the Republicans, starting with Nixon's "southern strategy",
have perfected the fine art of exploiting the stupid.

But you're right about one thing, the American voter gets the
government they deserve.

What could possibly be more heart-warming and enlightening than the American
electorate calling itself stupid and then proceeding to prove it, rebutted
by the American electorate calling itself stupid and then proceeding to
prove it, iterate, iterate, iterate........

People everywhere deserve good government. Perhaps if more people gave at
least a perfunctory nod to the notion of thinking about what constitutes
good government and how to achieve it, we wouldn't be blessed with endless
(and endlessly entertaining) repetitions of the American electorate calling
itself stupid and then proceeding to prove it, rebutted by the American
electorate calling itself stupid and then proceeding to prove it, iterate,
iterate, iterate........

Probably not......but what have we got to lose by trying?

Meanwhile, what could possibly be more hilarious than the kennies, davies,
stevies, predators, etc......and dicklet.....seeing themselves as rising
above the intellectual and moral level of the general run of the American
electorate?
