LIVs have been the death of the Republic

[Edgar3]

And the other 37% vote democrat

[Huskrrrr]

Po-TAY-toe, Po-TAH-toe.

[illiac]

Surprised it was that high....

[txrefugee]

When the stupid class consists of immigrants, legal and illegal, and the public schooled, 63% seems a little on the high side.

[Jacquerie]

Similarly, 18% think the GOP is in charge in the Senate, but 19% are not sure . . . and 3% still want to be a fire truck.

Americans are too uninformed for self-government; Franklin feared they might be, but Jefferson was hopeful. Washington would impose a civics test for voting if he were around.

It’s impossible to vote the bastards out when the majority of voters don’t even know who the bastards are.

Part of the confusion may be that although John Boehner ‘controls’ congress, much of the time, he doesn’t act or sound like a leader. Boehner is one who reacts, after the fact, to other peoples’ decisions. Nancy Pelosi, is the minority leader, but still makes declarative statements, expresses her full-on, unapologecticaly partisan opinions, and makes her position on anything quite clear.

The average voter is not a news hound like us, and may mistake Nancy’s boldness as a settled matter from a leader of congress. When Boenher wants to, he can come on strong and direct, he has the deep resonant voice and knows how to deliver a weighty line. However, Boehner follows that up with more Lap-Dogging, RINO behavior, canceling out any faith in his leadership ability once again.

There was a very good reason that universal suffrage WAS NOT part of the original plan.

[Veggie Todd]

I wonder what percentage knows that BamBam is a Rat.

[lurk]

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

[Theodore R.]

I suspect this 63 percent is a little high; I think it is more like 45 percent.

[Don Corleone]

That’s public education for you, or the MSM or British Rail.

[Puppage]

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

[FlingWingFlyer]

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.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

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

[PoloSec]

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.

[dennisw]

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.....
