"And if it's unreasonable to expect would-be "legislators" to know even the Bill of Rights, what on earth SHOULD they know?" Sure it's reasonable to expect that, but the facts on the ground are what they are. Most people (especially younger ones) have not been taught even the basic fundamentals of the Constitution.

She gave the opening speech at the Nashville Tea Party Convention for goodness sake! I don’t think she is a babe in the woods. She thought people were stockpiling guns because they were racist (anti-Obama) and expecting a freakin’ race war! WTF!

That's a perfectly sound argument for educating the ignorant masses of the electorate. Evaluating a Congressional candidate is a vastly different proposition.
