Americans are stupid
As if the fact that we actually elected Bush in 2004 (no, not 2000, he didn't win that one) weren't enough, I just read that a recent poll indicates that American voters think McCain would handle Iraq better than Obama. Now McCain is basically just Bush 2.0 and has even said that he doesn't care if we have to keep troops there for a millennium. Couple that with the fact that other polls show that the vast majority of Americans don't think Bush is handling Iraq correctly - you know, by keeping troops there with no time line for withdrawal.So how is it that we think McCain would handle Iraq better?
Americans are so stupid. It's why we don't live in a democracy but a republic - we can't be entrusted with such important decisions, don't you know.
