| The election of GWBII ... twice ... preceded by Bill Clinton ... twice ... and GWBI before that raise SERIOUS questions about the value both intelligence and common sense are to the American electorate ...

there have been some stellar examples of politicians being educated far beyond their intellectual capacity (let alone social grace or moral restraint). The American electorate has chosen from a narrow pool of homogeneous options.
BTW - I believe Ronald Reagan would be a democrat if he were entering politics today. |
