I'm an American, and I'm not stupid, and most of the people I'm friends with aren't stupid, but all of us are voting for Kerry. I know empirically that half of the country is for Bush, but I have no comprehension of it, and can only conclude that they've either been brainwashed, or ... they're stupid.
< P>Now, there is definitely something to the idea that it's our system. For one thing, campaigns are run mostly on the money collected by the candidates, NOT on government funds... which means that the richest candidate, with the richest supporters, has the best chance of winning. That would be Bush, the guy who throws tax cuts to the very wealthy but can't be bothered to fund schools.
