VOTE STUPID! It's the American way!
The meme is back that an elected official that is SMART, THOUGHTFUL, CULTURED, and INTELLECTUAL is not a candidate for Americans. WTF? Have we really sunk so low as a country that it is a negative to be any of these things?

So, the logic is this...if you can't bowl, speak poorly and in soundbites, and/or eat with your hands, you are not qualified to be President. Is this what Hillary and McCain and their cult are implying?

Vote STUPID! It's the American Way!

6. The logic is that America has been ruined by being led by the lowest common denominator.
What is dumb is the tendency for seemingly intelligent people to be led by propagandist bullshit that downplays intelligence as a good thing. I WANT A SMART PRESIDENT and it's not elitist to wish it so.

5. Nah. People aren't buying it as much as they want to shove it down
our throats. Have faith! And speak poorly vs. saying something inartfully? There's no comparison.
