That isn't true. This guy has made it to the top of the State and now Federal government - hell, he even managed to get elected to president ONCE!

Here's what I say to that;

. all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily (and) adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

Where are all the BUSH bumper stickers now?

Next election season do something that would DRIVE THEM NUTS.

Elect RON PAUL. If for nothing else to than to drive the FED crazy.

Go Ron Paul -

Come on, give the man some credit. He got elected to president twice.

Just not by voters.

He's not dumb; but he's out of his depth in his current job.

Well I think he is doing exactly what he was elected for. And by that, I mean, he is doing exactly what the people that elected him wanted him to do.

It seems that voters, though, are catching up a bit with the scheme. With any luck, they might Actually Do Something (TM). But the odds are heavily stacked against them.

That is the problem when you get an early version of something, be it an Operating System or Democracy. You get to have all the problems and try out many things that do not really work. The trick is upgrading.
