Just 63% Know Which Parties Control the House and Senate

Rasmussen Reports ^ | September 9-10, 2014

IMHO, this is why some people should not be allowed to vote. They’re idiotic low info voters. Our “elections” are nothing more than “What’s In It For Me?” contests.

I have often thought there should be a test of some sorts to qualify to vote. This is what I came up with:

Let’s start with the easy part:

1.) What is the name of this country?

2.) Who is the current President of the United States? (Notice I gave them the answer to question 1).

Now the hard part:

3.) What is your name?

4.) Are you alive or dead?

5.) For extra points, write your name in cursive.

If you don’t know that, at the very least, you should not be allowed to vote.

Does MSNBC’s Sharpton Think GOP Runs the Senate? [MSNBC says Republicans control the Senate]

"Betcha they don’t know there are three branches of government, term lengths, responsibilities, limitations, number of members, or who their elected congresscritters are."

Legal immigrants have to pass a written test to prove their knowledge of this before they can receive U.S. Citizenship, but not so for illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants can now receive their U.S. Citizenship by Executive fiat from King Obama.

Our Founding Fathers would be so proud. (Not)

I’m surprise 63% is much higher than I would have thought, over the years I’ve talked politics wherever I worked, most of the time I was hard pressed to talk to someone who knew the three branches of government,(I always asked that question) or could even name our own state Governor.

By my own observation, I would say about 80% are totally clueless.

A civics test?

Heck, mention voter ID, that ANYBODY could get and the left screams racism.

Any type of civics test and the left would go apoplectic.

You take 20-30 year olds and I’ll bet no more that a third know which parties control the US Senate and the House of Representatives.....

[Freestate316]

I bet they could not name one constitutional amendment either.

[98ZJ USMC]

...and people wonder how Field Marshall OblameO von Threeputt was re-elected, or vote for (D)Marxists, period.

Morons... and not the good kind.

[98ZJ USMC]

And the other 37% vote democrat

which includes the moonbat (D)Ullards who swear and be damned that the Republicans, er....reTHUGliKKKanseLebInTy!!!! ... sorry, control everything....

...because Koch Brothers.

Pure insanity due to a complete inability to recognize reality.

[Mark17]

Surprised it was that high....

I am too. I did not think the lemmings out there, were even THAT smart.

[Mark17]

Yet, they could ALL tell you who got kicked off The Survivor Island.

What is Survivor Island?

:-)

[rhinohunter]

Considering that you have a 50% chance of getting it right even if you have no clue, it’s not very high.
The percentage of people who actually know would be about 26%

[ontap]

63% is way more than I would have guessed!!!

[hal ogen]

I’d bet that many voters don’t even know what country they are in...or what planet they are on.
