Foolestroupe - As an American I agree completely with everything you've posted here. But if the electorate wasn't as ignorant and uneducated as they have demonstrated themselves to be, I don't think ignorant and uneducated politicians would get very far.


                   In terms of formal education, however, we have two candidates with pretty good credentials, so I'm assuming you mean "educated," at least as it pretains to candidates, in a generic sense.

                   Which brings us to another of your strong points, for all practical purposes, we only have 2 candidates.
