I'm neither conservative nor liberal. Stop being so black-and-white. I was simply asking for accountability and source because conservatives, in particular, seem to take these viral, very general platitudes and ascribe all sorts of value and truth to them. Liberals have their own problems, but usually not in this way,

In the end, just because you disagree with someone politically doesn't mean the world is coming to an end or everyone was deceived because they're stupid.

Overcoming hyperbolic partisan rhetoric to reach mature political discourse is desired, but perhaps not attainable on this site.

This "quote of the millennium" is nothing but empty name-calling with NO substance. Just insert the name of President X, and it works the same for the other side.

"The election of President ________ proves that Americans are stupid."

Get it?
Yes, yes I get it. I'm just saying why Bush? Why not X, or n (where n stands for any president).

Whew! I thought for a moment he was talking about Bush supporters!

i would say it is an attack on the electorate, not the system.

Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic . Someone over there has it figured out.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

Gosh it only took me 15 words to say the same exact thing . But I like what he said . Some people do need it spelled out for them .

Could you put all this in short hand ?
