don't blame the voters blame the media. It is the media's job to educate the voters. to research the candidates and to give the voters the required information to make good choices.
Sadly in this day and age you can hardly find information on local races, you have to dig and dig to find voting records, and background information. the MSM has become mouthpieces not news organization.
the people can only make informed decisions if they are given the proper information.
sure if you have the time and desire you can find some of this information.
the voters have enough IQ to make the correct choice if given the correct information
I am sorry to disagree but if you are not smart enough to understand what lies the lamestream media is saying - then you are not smart enough - therefore in my world you would not have the right IQ to vote.
We CANNOT do the same thatn democrats: find an excuse for our or their stupidity. If you cannot forge your own mind then you are stupid. Period. As simple as that.
I checked obama before the elections because I did not know him at all. I did not believe eithe the LSM or Fox News. I did my own inquiry and I took my own decision. Before Sarah - I could not stand McCain so I checked obama.
That did not take long to know what my decision was - not obama -and then Sarah appeared so I thought we were saved. My point is: I believe only in my own synthese (wrong english word?) after I take all my information.
“It is the media’s job to educate the voters. “
It’s the voter’s job to get educated, in my opinion. Here on FR we seem to educate ourselves well enough without going along with prevailing opinion.
