They are, and yes, we are. That, after weeks of this crap, both of them had to take to TV to 'esplain it to those that have not been paying attention .... I had a person yesterday that asked me, "So what is all this debt stuff about?" They shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Because if people paid a bit more attention over the past 50 years, we'd never have gotten here.

A 50 question multiple choice test would knock at least 70% of voters out. It's needed.

Remember riot being dumb or uneducated does not take away your right to vote. That is a constitutional right. If there was an IQ test or a knowledge test prior to being allowed to vote your right we would not be here right now and OBAMA would not be president.

Based on that theory there would not be a democrat ever elected to any public office in this country.

It is the teabaggers that are currently domestic terrorists who are willing to destroy our economy to prove their point under the guise of being patriots. Bin Ladens goal was to destroy our economy and he couldn't but these great American Patriots just may succeed. They have succeeded in one thing I never would have thought possible. I am now on the fence as to whether I vote for Obama.

My reference was to the uninformed voter not necessarily the mis-informed. It is looking more and more likely I will abstain or 3rd party vote again this election. Though it is looking more and more like O might not even get the nomination, if it keeps going the way it is. Long way to go.

I strongly suggest you objectively look at the financial policies that each party actually practiced when in office since 1960.

Strictly referencing the uninformed voting block. I no longer have an allegiance to either party. Most logical thinking voters have been abandoned.

Strictly referencing the informed voting block: I think most voters over the past 50 years haven't much changed their personal politics, the two major parties have changed markedly around them.

My statement goes back to your saying that uninformed people should not be allowed to vote. The parties have indeed changed to a fault and left a lot of people in the wind. The sheer number of voters has multiplied so much over the past 50 years the personal politics of those that have been voting that long are irrelevant now, with fantastic marketing campaigns and get out the vote movements bringing the uninformed to the polls it doesn't matter.

We agree, no uninformed voters. Take a test, be employed, serve the country, contribute you get to vote. Citizen vs. Resident one votes the other deals with it. Good plan.

Yes, I know. To make it clear to everyone, that was sarcastic - I strongly believe in no poll tax, no discrimination towards voting by any citizen.

Which is why I oppose the targeted Republican (RGA sponsored) voting suppression efforts in multiple states across this country before 2012 election.

I am, however, appalled at the general lack of factual knowledge that many voting citizens demonstrate.

And as an aside, I went to the country clerks office today to renew license plates. If you want a voter ID card, they make it hard as hell - have to go to multiple offices, two different buildings (one for photo, one for paperwork).

I strongly agree with all that.

Sorry. Can't agree. After what happened in 1960's in this country, I would rather continue to interpret the obvious intent of the Constitution, as the founders intended.
