The United States has a population of over 300,000,000 and these two are the best that we have to offer?
Just the thought of that makes me sad

Saddest part is: Our government system was designed in a way that should such idiots get elected the damage they should be able to do should be minimal (checks and balances and all that...) But we've gotten so away from that, THAT is the problem Two things we can do that would turn this around overnight... repeal the 17th amendment...whoever thought this was a good idea was retarded! do away with federal withholdings, make EVERYBODY write a check for the taxes they owe on April 15th <-- this one is the biggest you had to write a check for thousands of dollars, your voting habits would change RFN |

President is the highest political office we've got, not the best we've got. The process itself almost guarantees the best and the brightest will not reach the office. |

While I agree with your statement, it's probably not hard to understand that you have to be a moron these days to even WANT to be a United States politician much less seek the highest most hated political position in the country. You speak from a rational point of view. Power is a drug. Those that seek power are as addicted as a heroin addict. |
