Stupid Tuesday

My few thoughts on Super Tuesday, and the flawed fact that we as a country allow a population of idiots to elect the person that leads us. We should not be responsible for ourselves.

From an interview on NPR this morning, in regards to the husband and wife both voting for Hillary:

Husband: "well, she spent 8 years in the white house with Bill, and we had it pretty good."
Wife: "i think it's a chance to make history...put a woman in the white house."

I didn't capitalize "I" in the woman's sentence because I am assuming that she is also unaware of proper grammar.

Point #1: Hillary was NOT the president in the White House, she was the First Lady. And she is NOT Bill. So you don't vote on her because of the 8 years that she spent as the wife of the president! Hell, let's all just throw the candidates out and elect Nancy Reagan.

Point #2: You DON"T vote on a candidate just because of their sex. There are a lot of opportunities to make history. That doesn't mean we take them just becasue they will make history. We have never had an actual chimpanzee running the country. That would certainly make history. Based on the logic of the lovely couple, we should have Nancy Reagan as president and a chimpanzee as her running mate...someone who was in the white house for eight years when we "had it pretty good" and someone that woud allow us to "make history". Or, what about the chef that cooked meals for Bill all those 8 years. He probably has something good to say.

This is not an opposition post to Hillary. I think she is quite capable, and wouldn't consider it a tragedy if she was elected. It is an opposition post to the people that come up with StUpId reasons to vote for someone.

For a positive spin, the good news is that children can rise above their parents' stupidity. The son of the lovely couple voted for Obama.
