More quotes for the doom and gloom

[fiona_grady]

Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom


Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of American public

and, of course,


On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts' desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
