The Idiot Vote
In
America today, only one of the dominant political parties--guess which
one--is actually dependent on the idiot vote for its very survival.
Ignoramuses are the Democrats' core constituency. Can't name your
congressman or a single Supreme Court justice? Have vaguely heard of
Gettysburg, but can't quite place the war? Get your idea of news from
People and Us or Comedy Central? You're a singe-issue voter and the single issue is more-more-more and who-cares-how-it-gets-paid-for .
The Dems not only want you to vote, they'll hunt you down, fill out the
registration form for you and show up on Election Day to drag you to
the polls. And if you can't make it, they'll send someone else and say
you did. And all the while, proudly cast themselves as defenders of
democracy, because the right to vote is, you know, like, sacrosanct. http://weekendpundit.org/2013/ 06/ the-idiot-vote-by-harry-stein.h tml
