1. Bush is the worst president ever? That's the most uneducated thing I've ever heard you say, Randah. How about Herbert Hoover? He was a Republican and yet I find it strikingly simple to name him the "Worst President EVER". 2. My mom got a HUGE refund check from the tax cuts. We both know that my family hardly classifies as wealthy, and I doubt she got that break because I think Bush is so cute. 3. This is what happens in a democracy. When you let the people vote, the people decide what is important to them, be it abortion or foreign policy. Is that right? I believe it is, even if I don't agree with them. What's the alternative? Intelligence tests? Mandatory election classes? Better screening of candidates? One of the beauties of democracy is that anyone can become president, all he has to do is convince everyone else he should be president. That's also one of democracy's biggest dangers. But honestly, would you have it any other way? No matter what the outcome of an election, roughly half of the country will feel angry, alienated, or scared. It happens. And if you or anyone else doesn't like it, I'll be happy to buy you a one way ticket to Canada.
