Some people just don't realize or forget. It's been this way for many Presidents. Carter was the best choice at the time. Reagan was the best choice over Carter when we realized Carter wasn't getting the job done. Although I think his brother had the right idea and we all should have just drank ourselves blind and ate peanuts as snacks.
After Reagan and his "Trickl Down Economy" we picked up Bush SR. Probably the best Prez we have had in that era. However after two terms even I felt it was time for the Dems to take office and kick start it so it wouldn't be stagnant anymore. Which is why Clinton got the nod. After the Clinton escapades and the lies (which I feel he should have been punished for, instead of focusing on the act in general) we ended up with Bush JR. I was ready to vote his sorry but out after the first term but like you said the other candidates were idiots. Even this go around I kinda felt the Republican candidate was an idiot, and an idiot to pick the female running mate that he picked. Many of people pointed out to me that there were many of other female candidates that were in offices longer, better spoken, and smarter then the one he picked. Again I picked Obama simply cause I felt the Gov. was stagnant and needed a kick start.
I call myself an Independant. Why can't I just find a decent enough candidate who believes in
Gun rights
Abortion rights
Lowering our spending in order to lower our taxes
Cutting Gov. waist
Making other countries pay for protection or the UN
Nuke Iran... JK sorry.
Provide tax cuts for "Made in America" not half made in America.
I'm at the point now where I'm ready to see the whole Gov. staff be let go and start over with a fesh start so all the candidates know they work for us and represent us not their party or their one issue they want passed.
Edit: I forgot to add smokers rights.
and not to have forgotten you others legalizing marijuana.
