And the chimpanzee was the better actor of the two. Yet the other less competent one, Ronald Reagan, went on to become president of the United States. Twice.

(2,627 posts)"Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. F*ck Hope.'"

(24,461 posts)They went ahead and crayoned in enough votes for an AWOL dry drunk privileged son of a President who failed at every business venture he was ever installed in and had one of the worst records as the Governor of Texas, all so the fascist-loaded Sooopreme Court could bypass Democracy and state electoral recounts and stick him in to completely destroy the once-humming American economy, weaken our nation and place it's future in certain peril.
