No, choosing a political leader is not being a "sheeple." If you BELIEVE everything that your political leaders tell you and you tow their line (that goes for BOTH sides), then you can proudly call yourself a "sheeple." There are many here.
Not so.
We need our political leaders to tell us what doctors to see, what teachers can teach, what kind of toilet we should buy, what is PC to say and think and what is not, what to drink, biggie soda's being the worst, how much money is too much money to make, how much money is not enough money to make per hour, what marriage should be and should not be, and the list goes on, essentially forever.
No, people are basically sheep unable to do the smallest of tasks on their own.
