They make up 5-10% of the "wrong direction" crowd at best.

I wish I knew what percentage of people believe what.

For a moment, I had a brilliant idea, which soon passed.

Perhaps, I hypothesized, we could use something like the infamous Palm Beach butterfly ballots when selecting leaders -- pick the sides of the issues we like, and a candidate would pop out.

But then I realized we'd need to do weighting, and we'd probably need a computer program, like the ones that tell you where you are on the political spectrum.

And politicians all lie, anyway.

But if you watch what they do, they just passed a tax cut for the middle, upper middle, and upper economic classes.

Can't pass an immigration bill but they can pass a tax cut.

Did it so fast nobody even had time to object.

And you wonder why I vote Republican! ;^)
