Is that hard to understand? REad some history please. I don't feel like giving you a lesson.

Common men voting gave us presidents/elections that:

1: Performed the Trail of Tears
2: Did nothing to prevent the Sectionalist crises
3: Gave cover to native American massacres such as Camp Grant and Wounded Knee
4: Trumped up a war with Mexico to steal their land
5: Brought us the idea of "a president I can have a beer with"
6: enabled people like Louie Gohmert, George Fitzhugh, John C. Calhoun and Joe McCarthy to get elected.
7: Led to two wars in the 2000s that we will never get over
8: Led to involvement in Viet nam from 1954-1975
9: Were scandal ridden from the beginning (Hayes, Harding, Nixon)
10: Led to massive depressions (1837, 1929)

But you keep thinking the "common man" is good.

And with that, you can stay on your high horse. I will ignore you from here on out because your grasp of history is poor and your attitude is even poorer.
