I'm beginning to wonder if they are smarter than our collective population? How can the normal person stand there an buy that argument?

I attribute it to being "politically euthanized"... We have been taught that our Federal Government is here to serve us, the citizenry. When, in actuality, the Fed serves only those who have the $$$ to influence it. Joe Average American is like the humans in the Matrix, only instead of electricity, we provide $$$. That's it.
We expect our elected officials to be on the ball and understand the social/fiscal issues that effect as a nation... guess not. I have nothing but contempt for the four-flushers who "rule" this nation because they consistently demonstrate a lack of common sense. You don't have to be brilliant to see where some of our problems are leading us...
The other thing is that Americans have been lied to for so long, by so many politicos, it's now second nature to not care and just accept things at face value... We no longer believe we can influence the political course of our country anymore. It's safer to watch "Dancing with the Stars" than to watch a political debate and actually take a stance on issues that would shape our, and our kids/grandkids futures.
The "All About Me" generation is coming home with a vengence...
