This is why I usually vote against the incumbent in races I don't care much about, just on general principles. Most voters will mindlessly keep voting in the same morons, even after they show how incompetent they are.

We (collectively, as a Republic) really do have the government we deserve.

I don't know much about him but the stuff I have seen and read seems solid.
