Democracy is a pathetic belief...
Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby.
H L Mencken.

Sorry Mr. Mencken, but I think we are about to witness conspicuous counter-example to your rule...
I for one can't wait to pull the lever next week and see the country's biggest turd doing its final spin.
4 more years!!!
