What makes you more qualified than anybody else? Your political science degree? I laugh in your face! The professional political class contains some of the dumbest, least competent and least qualified people in the country. And you want to trust them? You prefer them to a bartender?
BWAHAHAHahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
The average bartender has dealt with more "reality" in one day on the job than most members of the "political class" deal with in a lifetime of politicking.
