That the alternatives were John McCain and Al Gore is a sad commentary on either the electoral system or the electorate. Then again, this is the country that picked Clinton over the elder Bush and then Dole. I'm gonna to have to say that the electorate ain't what it used to be. Democracies get the leaders they deserve. I'm hoping that we never elect someone like Juan Peron or Salvador Allende (although Obama comes pretty darned close).
You got my point. Thanks for not flaming me because of the way I wrote it...
Don’t look at the past through rose-colored glasses. The American electorate has been idiotic since 1800 with very few exceptions. It’s actions are the best argument against democracy I have ever run across.
Easily manipulated from the beginning, ignorant about almost everything and incapable of putting two and two together. The very existence of the Democrat Party is clear evidence that we are surrounded by fools.
