Barring elite old school Bush I, the last two Republican presidents and the present 'contender' all share a quite astonishing ignorance of many issues. Reagan was an old man who's speeches were put in his hands by his handlers - oblivious to IranGate/Contragate et al. Bush was run by Cheney, another puppet, and a person uninterested in the facts. And McCain? He's following in the oblivious footsteps of Reagan and Bush.
What is it about the Republican Party that they cannot choose people who are somewhat compentent at something? Why has the presidency been dumbed down to such an astonishing degree? The better that corporate America can pull all the strings!
They are the wizened of Oz.
