Splinter: you said something that has always been my point of view
you’ld expect people to choose someone intelligent
I want a leader to be much more intelligent than me, but it seems in the US that you are
considered ‘an elitist’ if you possess some smarts.
As i have lived in the US and Canada, I believe one of the solutions is a third party in the US.
Every other true democracy in the world offers more than 2 party choices.
Of course, a parlimentary system and questions periods would soon weed out the lesser leaders, but that’s not going to happen.
Yes, ’tis an interesting thread. I’m going to stop now and just lurk. I don’t want to offend anyone.
