But when a wicked man rules, the people groan."
Proverbs 29:2

Honestly, there's not much more to say.

Crazy part is that has to be said in the first place.

While we're on the subject, kudos to Bettencourt for focusing on the relevant issues, and not falling into counterproductive sidetracks.

Bottom Line:  In a sane and rational world, Bettencourt's sentiments would be considered completely obvious.  Yet here we are.  At least one elected official hasn't gone over the cliff.
