Well said! That's why so many cretins are getting into office; too
many people voting without actually thinking about why they're voting
for who they're voting for---instead, voting for certain candidates
due to peer pressure, or because of such short-sighted reasons as a
candidate's position on one single political issue, not looking at all
of the issues and attempting to make the most rational choice by
taking everything into consideration.
Let's face it, when we have vast quantities of people voting who have
the same, or less, intellect then fingernail-clippings, what else can
we expect to have elected into political offices?
