Because the electorate punishes candidates who are intelligent, sincere, and don't pander?

The more I think about Bill Hicks's description of why JFK got assassinated the more justifiable it seems.

Rick Perry is certainly close, but I don't think we'll ever get someone as dumb as W. Bush in serious contention for the white house.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Gotta love all the dislikes for this incredibly mind dumbing video. 666,000(!) right now. But then how can 21,000 people like it? Man, some people just don't have any common logic in them and some won't ever change.

This was kinda funny at first, but I was on the floor by the end of it.

Just for the record, every single candidate this year sucks. Especially Rick Perry.
