Morons get to vote. Yes, democracy is still the best, the fairest system (not that ours couldn't use a few tweaks) but we don't give people an IQ test before we let them mark their ballots. Or even just a general knowledge test. Think Obama's a Muslim? Inch'Allah, pal. Come back in four years. Can't find Iraq on the map? Go home and bone up on your geography. Still blame Saddam for 9/11? Sorry, you can only vote on American Idol. Of course, we can't do this, because idiots deserve representation too. Unfortunately, they tend to vote for other idiots. 'Nuff said.
