Too many American voters were: venal, self-centered, not well educated, not facing reality, or just plain &^*#$&&#%@)&_+$*_)*$ &^#%(* stupid.
America Hater!
But kidding aside - I tend to think that America elects
based on gut-feelings rather than on the political issues
and the logic of the candidates individual approaches to
solve and adress those issues.
By that I mean that it seems that most parts of America
rather votes for:
"
Every American should have Universal Healthcare - Woohoo!!!"
than:
"
Health care is not a constitutional right. [64][85] As such, it is not the responsibility of government to provide health care.[86], Unequal access and health disparities still exist in universal health care systems, by law, uninsured citizens receive emergency care regardless of ability to pay. The health care safety net, which includes free medical clinics, charity care, nonprofits and government-run community hospitals, provides necessary care to the uninsured.[16] The national Debt and the costs of current foreign policies contradict any plan for universal Healthcare without serious economic consequences."
Sure, the first Statement is more appealing for the American People,
especially the democrats and liberals point of view - even if the second
Statement may be much closer to the facts and truth.
Unfortunately, the American elections don't look in any way like a
race of Ideas and Solutions - because a huge peace of the Pie still
votes based on stupid emotional ideas, such as:
"He does not like my God/Scripture"
"He does not 'look/sound' presidential"
"He wasn't in 'teh' military"
"She's a women/men/
NWO-Molech"
"He's Black/White/Red"
"He/She is a social Nazi-Communist Hitler fascist"
Now I don't know if these types of honest responses are rather
based on stupidity or just the fact that people are too lazy to
dive into the issues, but we can say for sure, that the MSMedia
appeals to this kind of sensationalism rather than airing the
admittedly boring discussions about the political Issues itself.
Another factor is the "rising like a phoenix"-phenomena in US
elections - like in case of Huckabee and McCain - which both
literally popped up over night after months of being at the very
low end of the polls.
Of course, the polls itself are questionable as well - especially the
ones performed by the parties itself - or the polls that ignore the
whole electorate by nitpicking registered "long-term" voters.
So all in all - and unless someone can provide evidence of what
is going on behind the scenes, elections in a free country like
America, are and will stay nothing but entertainment for the
people who watch the circus from outside the US.
My condolences.
