We have a full-fledged idiotocracy.

I really don't know what my fellow Americans want. Politically speaking. Maybe they don't even know. The electorate seems to shift back and forth. They punished the Republicans for eight years of George Bush. For getting us into an economic mess and two costly immoral wars. But now it looks like Democrats will lose their majority of the past two years. Apparently because they haven't cleaned up the mess. So we are gonna run out of patience and return the Republicans to power. The ones that got us into this mess in the first place. And to top it off, some clowns from the Tea Party may even win a few seats in Congress. It's a game of musical chairs. My gawd. What a political system. There's a chance that we'll end up with gridlock in Washington. And get absolutely nothing done. Because we have a system of government that allows the minority to block anything the majority proposes. There's no such thing as majority rule any more. Because any meaningful legislation can be filibustered to death in the U.S. Senate. Even individual senators have the authority and power to block a vote on virtually any item. It's ridiculous. But that's our way. The American way. We Americans allow it to happen. Because we think we're helpless to do anything about it. We act as if our only choices are to elect idiot Republicans or idiot Democrats. Yes, politicians that refuse to work with each other. Instead, they are all dedicated to making each other fail. Miserably. So it really doesn't matter, does it? No matter who we elect, it's gonna be a bunch of idiots. We don't have a democracy or a republic any more. We have a full-fledged idiotocracy. Rule by idiots. --Jim Broede
