How could our country do this to itself at this time in our history???
Did you ever see the Peter Sellers movie Being There? Besides being one of the funniest deadpan performances I've ever seen, it addresses this exact issue in a scathing manner.
If you haven't seen it I recommend you try to find a copy.
The twists and turns of the life of it's "writer," Jerzi Kosinski, adds a bit of melancholy, as well as the fact that Sellers died right around the time the film came out. But it does take on the question you raise. Basically the conclusion is that there are enough fools who will vote for whoever the press and the power brokers tell them to. Just look at the 90s for proof of that proposition.
Yep. I agree a bit with Boortz on the voting issue. Not all votes should count the same and absolutely some people should not be allowed near a voting booth.
