In a country where a debate can be won by a vapid, lackluster candidate telling at least 27 lies in 38 minutes a rational person will begin to scratch ones head and begin to ponder...
That is of course if they haven't already realized long, long ago that idiocy has become the law of the land here in the home of the brave.
Article 1. George W. Bush.
How such an ass-backwards, wannabe cowboy, idiot could be elected twice... well to be fair the first time Gore was actually elected both popularly and electorally. Bush had the good fortune to elected by a grand total of 5, count them 5 people with 4 people voting against him, so I guess we can forever thank Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement plans for that one lone vote for this thing that inhabited the oval office for 8 years.
What was so remarkable about these horrible, terrible 8 years was the painful realization that a huge swath of this country actually thought he was a mighty swell chap. In fact so much so that during the 2004 elections he was not just supported, but strongly supported by conservatives to the tune of 98%! This is more then any conservative president in recent history, indeed more then even Ronny Reagan! To be fair Bush left office with record low approval ratings and his popularity among his own party began to wane which only goes to show what an absolute complete schmuck he was and what dim-wattage bulbs were behind him so enthusiastically is ponderously puzzling.
Article 2. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
My Dad used to say many times that if someone like Bruce Willis ever ran for President he would win hands down. Why? I asked as a young child. Because Americans are inconceivably stupid and would rather have an action hero then a statesman, he replied.
Wow he was right. I must confess I was not a California resident either times Shwarzy was elected in California so I can't take credit for that one, but good going to my home state! You proved that you don't really care who is the one to put nails in your coffin, sell out your schools to the highest bidder and privatize your prisons as long as it is a cool, groovy action figure. And that went down on the sterling blue left coast!
Article 3. The Tea Party.
'Nuff Said.
Article 4. Mitt Romney.
And this brings us up to the present (I know, I know, I have glossed over countless other examples in my haste, but for the sake of brevity...)
How this immaculately distilled pile of bullshit has been so painstakingly refined from the seething cesspools of bull shit surrounding him and daintily plopped on high as the Republican challenger is really an exercise in pure unadulterated idiocy. That there is a huge subsection of this country that will vote for him as a superior selection to President Obama makes one deeply wonder about who exactly is out there eating twinkies at 5:39 PM on Main Street America and how in Marcus Mosiah Garvey's name they are ultimately capable of putting their pants on the morning, are all highly relevant thought quandaries that will one day hopefully be written about in various highly regarded theses on the subject.
Until such a day I can only caution that we must never underestimate the stupidity of the electorate. I wish it were not so, believe me I deeply do, but I have found no other plausible explanation for the things I have witnessed in my fairly brief politically active life. Any additional insight into the matter would be highly appreciated.
Signed warmly and with personal regards,
