Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-OH) spoke at the Voice of America tea party this Labor Day weekend outside of Cincinnati, OH. Following a tense Q&A session — during which, the congresswoman was booed for acknowledging that the Constitution is a living document — Schmidt engaged in a heated conversation with a birther off-stage. At the conclusion of their exchange, Schmidt whispered to the birther, “I agree with you, but the courts don’t.”
Its disturbing to think that the most powerful people in this country -- the ones literally making laws that impact how each of us live -- are actually very, very stupid.
Used to be (once upon a time) our politicians were the selected among the best and brightest. Think FDR, Lincoln, JFK. Now? These days we have "intellectuals" like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann.
The Republicans got what they always wanted. Those "egg head intellectuals" have been run out of Washington and been replaced by.....some of the dumbest citizens in this country With predictably disastrous results!.
Rep. Jean Schmidt is just the latest in a long line of non-intelletuals running the country and saying things like President Obama is secretly a citizen of Kenya and its all apart of a secret master plan to turn us all into communist.
Does anyone else find it terrifig that people this unintelligent can get elected to the absolute highest offices in this country?
Maybe its time to start requiring IQ tests and psych evaluations before we allow someone to run for Congress?
