A friend living in England sent me this amusing and some might say prophetic quote:
"When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental--men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost...
All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre--the man who can most 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 and 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."

LMAO at the world's superpower being led by the stupidest man in world politics.
The man can't even put a sentence together on his own FFS !!
stuff world politics - it's all rigged anyway. Democracy is just a token idea to keep the people happy and give them a sense of contribution. The outcome was known well before people set out to vote. The take-over of Iraq, the middle east and the oil fields had not been fully accomplished which ensured that bush had to remain in power.

democracy does not equal freedom it just allows you to shove a piece of cardboard into a slot every 4 years and then continue to OBEY :bow whoever gets in.
