Those yahoos and pinheads do happen to be elected by us common folk. I suspect that's what you don't like about them.

Yes, the yahoos and pinheads were elected by mostly yahoos and pinheads. And yes, that is what I don't like about them. That even the most illiterate wino can have a say, however small, in making laws for other people, is apparently what conservatives think is great about America.

Libertarians believe that what makes America great is that there are some things the government CANNOT DO, majority or no majority. It is just a basic difference in values, I suppose.
