Is is too much to ask that people who are elected to office be intelligent? Why is DUMB the way of the conservative? How is MORON a good electable point in the voters mind?
In response to the regressive rhetoric, and just plain idiocy of O'Donnell,
Paladino, Buck,Miller, and several others, up to and including Sarah Palin...
I propose a new Amendment to the US Constitution. We will call it the "Separation of Stupid and State." All natural born citizens will be required to pass a rigorous exam covering the inner workings of the US Government, Basic Economics, and Civics. They must pass this exam to obtain a valid Drivers License. I see no reason why we shouldn't demand the same level of understanding from our own citizens as we would expect from a legal immigrant attempting to gain US Citizenship.
And since we all love English so much, maybe a basic grammar test would be in order too? (Oh boy... I better get to studying for my own test.) ;-)
