Don't underestimate the USA's ability to elect a complete idiot or crook to the White House....

 Because they have done it before
GWBush was an idiot and everybody knew it.
Richard Nixon was a crooked paranoid freak and everyone knew it.
But they became President anyway.
There's a lot of crowing and funny cartoons about Mitt being toast on DU right now
 We don't have this in the bag yet.
The American people can still be fooled by Mitt and his crowd so we need to stay focused, continue to work hard and fight until the fat lady sings.
 Then I'll make my Mitt Toast graphic.

8. Actually P. T. Barnum said this:


“Nobody ever lost a dollar by underestimating the taste of the American public.”
 
and this:

“There's a sucker born every minute.”

and this:

“Opinions are like assholes; everyone's got one.”

and this:

“Never give a sucker an even break.”

5. Difference


Mitt and the Repukes have totally alienated the majority of half the population of the country: WOMEN. Then there are Seniors, Minorities, Non-Christians, Middle Class, Poor, Public Service Workers. WHO haven't they alienated? Rich, White, Christan Men? They cannot win with just that demographic. THIS is the difference with Bush and Nixon.

So W was elected? You guys have said for years that he stole the election.
I will give you credit for being consistently wrong when it comes to calling him an idiot. For the record though, if he's an idiot and his grades are higher than Kerry's what does that make your hero John Kerry?

Of course, compared to your lord and savior BamBam's grades...oh, that right. We can't compare his grades to the grades of the crook who pledged to head the most transparent administration ever because BamBam's records are hidden.
