The real fools are the American voters (especially those under the spell of white guilt complex) who put him and his merry band of Communists into office

Don't blame me. I voted for the obscenely rich tax dodger with six wives who went around abusing dogs and giving people cancer.

I knew I got that third vote from somewhere!

LOL!

We didn’t have much of a reason do vote with excitement over our candidate, did we?

But the real question is: would electing that person have ended, or even merely reduced, the Constitutional violations that the government does as a matter of routine?*

I would assert that the answer is No.
Simply looking at the political caste, and the Republican party in particular, there would be no reason for them to have ever reduced the domestic spying. Sure, Romney may have lessened the more visible/obvious injuries, but he is a Fabian Socialist (he thinks we should be eased into it) and a Statist, and would have utterly no incentive for reigning in the NSA.

I accept no blame either. Maybe second on the list of fools are those of "us" whose prideful stubbornness kept them from the voting booth altogether. It would have anyway taken a super majority to overcome the multiple and dead vote count, not to mention the rigged Diebold machines.

Guess I'd better go ahead and don my fire proof suit.

Aw, shucks. You mean you didn’t vote for the obscenely rich tax dodger who spent the night with Vera Baker at the Four Seasons?
