I was watching the end of some dumb game show the other night (dog eat dog I think). A contestant was asked a question about politics. The question which I cant remember exactly, went something like this:

Q: What former Republican Speaker of the House helped define/compose the GOP led "Contract With America" .

A: Al Gore

Morons are the New Majority.

You should encourage the moron to write-in Bill Clinton in 2004. He might even do it, assuming he can write.

Did you ask him if his parents voted for Buchanan in 2000? Oops....

Good essay for one so young if I may say so.
Heard today that when taking a test on our nation, one of the questions was who were our allies in WW2, something like 50% answered, Italy, Germany, and Japan. These people are voting age.

Ask "Bob" how he feels about the Germans attacking Pearl Harbor. Bet he's still outraged.

For more than 30 years society has striven to "idiot proof" everything. Now we have a surfeit of idiots.

I would like to make two points as to where I disagree with the writer.
One, Bush #1 lost to Clinton because of the promise he made not to raise taxes and enough hardheaded people like myself voted for Ross Periot.We chose because we determined our President lied to us and we not only put a bigger liar in the Whitehouse, we put two of them there.
Secondly as to the Republicans controlling DC I say to you the Republicans couldnt control Congress if they were 75% in both houses because they do not have the guts to stand and fight. Case in point, a minority of the Democrat Party have the ba$$s to not even allow their own members to vote on judgeships and the Republicans wont force the issue.
I say to all of you Congress divides this country and conquers us,while stealing us blind and rewarding those who keep them there at the expense of 90% of America and we are too damn dumb to see it.

I'm just an average working guy with a tech school education. I can't count the number of times I've had to explain to so-called "intelligent" people how the electoral college works, in response to "We didn't elect Bush" diatribes.
