Lies, Damned Lies, And Then What george bush Says
SusanG over at Kos' has a wonderful partial summary of what our illiterate, bigoted, apathetic, delusional, ignorant electorate has voted for, in voting for republicans.
I'm usually ok with our idiotic electorate voting idiotically - it's their bed, after all. Foreign policy - war, in particular - is a singular exception to this aplomb. For there, our idiots are voting for the deaths of innocents that never got to vote. We sometimes talk about voter disenfranchisement in Florida and Ohio - that's nothing compared to the several-orders-of-magnitude difference in both numbers (100,000) and stakes (death) between domestic and foreign disenfranchisement.
