"fundamental problem is that nearly half the population are knuckleheads"
actually, I think the problem is- half the population isn't voting! More than half, actually. And, of the ones that DO vote, half of them are idiots. Next problem will be - half the Republicans, or so-called conservatives, are going to stomp their feet, stay home and not vote, and teach ol' Bushie a lesson. Guess he won't be elected again - that'll show him.
Well said.
