The Great Transfer - American Politics

I cannot believe that America are even having an election; the Republicans should have defaulted as soon as they selected John McCain as their candidate. We are talking about a man who regularly agrees with George Bush, who has admitted to knowing nothing about economics, had the scientific knowledge and acumen of a gutted trout, who had been quoted as saying some very horrendously racist things, who defined someone who earns $4,999,999 (roughly £2.5m) as middle class and who would be over 75 when he ended his term is elected!

Really, I cannot see how he can have any votes apart from the KKK! George W. Bush is the least popular president in history and he will be EXACTLY THE SAME!

This is a man who, when asked what he would do about rising tensions with Iran, sang "Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran!" in response! The sentiment is bad enough, but singing it? At least if he'd just turned and said "I've thought long about this and I think that war is the only option," it would have been better! Hell, taking a gun out and shooting the interviewer might even have been preferable (probably not for the interviewer).

If McCain is elected, then I'd say it will signify a complete collapse for America; the Republicans are so anti-intellectual, anti-women and anti-anyone-who-isn't-a-goddamn-American that they will find themselves with so few allies outside the world that Russia and China will be able to joyfully skip towards becoming comparable superpowers.

I mean seriously, the American people have had, between them, enough intelligence to say that they don't like their stupid president. So, surely, the next logical step would be to elect an intelligent president. No offence to Bill Clinton, a great politician, but I don't think that the US has had an intelligent president for a good while and it'd probably be a damn good idea, with how terrible their deficit is becoming... they're almost as bad as the UK now!
