I've lost faith in the American people. Not because Kerry didn't win, but because George W. Bush did. Dubbya has proved over the last 4 years what an incompetent and poor president he's been, unable to think for himself.

In a perfect world, there would be no dividing line between canidates, no parties. I agree Michael Moore is skewed on some points, but he does provide a strong argument. The difference is that I realize that, and I can admit it. An ignorant person would disregard any attack on their president as obvious bullshit, and would never admit that their president made a huge mistake with the War in Iraq. I learned in psychology (ask Sarah Davis if you don't believe me) that the best way to persuade an uneducated audience is to offer just your standpoint, however, if they are educated, you must offer BOTH standpoints and the reason yours is better. The political parties are preaching to an uneducated audience. An ignorant person would refuse to listen and consider the other side of the argument. I've come to my conclusions about George Bush based on an accumulation of information and from the opinions of both parties. I dedcided for myself, which is more than I can say for others. I'm not targeting Republicans necessarily as being ignorant, there are plenty of ignorant democrats too, but it's just in light of Dubbya's re-election after 4 years of a flawed presidency that makes me question how smart people can be. The situation just illuminates it as a glaring problem.
