This is a perfect example of what the low-information voters have wrought unto themselves.

Pericles, the Greek statesman, had it right (and this is a paraphrase since I do not remember off-hand the exact wording): “You may not be interested in politics but politics is interested in you.”

“Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you.”
Pericles

Good quote, I’ll bang the liberals at work over the head with that one!

You shouldn’t have to be a political junkie to know what is going on in this country.

The constitutionally protected media has been entirely derelict in their duty to INFORM the public.
