There are still too many people out there who don't have a fucking clue as to how their government works. Either they didn't get civics classes as kids, or they slept through them. They believe that the president is king, and that he makes all the laws. At least that's what FoxNews and Limbaugh have them believing. They don't understand that this is their own ratfuck party's doing, so they'll keep voting for them.
