I'm going to vote for the not-so-intelligent one.

I think next election I am going to vote for the not-so-intelligent guy. Oh, I know that seems to run against the grain. We think that we want the smartest one up there, running whatever needs to be run.

Really, I mean look at our everyday world. If your car is broken, you want the smartest mechanic working on it, right? If you are ill, you hope your doctor is the smartest person you can get to work on you, right? So, what about when you vote?

Well, I, for one, am tired of the folks who are so intelligent that they think they know how to spend their way out of poverty, or the ones who think that there really isn't any such thing as evil, just misunderstandings. My step-father was taken out of school and sent to work in the mines at age 10, and even he wasn't "intelligent" enough to believe those things.

There comes a time when intelligence leads to arrogance. Other people may not understand how spending more money can pull us out of bankruptcy, but we know. Trust me. I’m doing this for your good. Yes, the rabble may not be able to turn lead into gold, but we elite can.

Ben Franklin once said, “Jack was so intelligent that he could say ‘horse’ in seven languages, but he was so foolish that he rode a cow into town.”

You may disagree with me, but that’s probably just because you’re smarter than I am.
