If it was up to me, people would have to take U.S. history and civics exams before they were allowed to vote. These exams would be high-school level exams since the minimum voting age is eighteen. With results like these, is it really any wonder why we twice elected a Communist Party USA-endorsed candidate President of the United States in 2008 AND 2012? I have been aware that we live in a constitutionally, historically, and politically retarded society for a long time; but these results are still depressing. I am absolutely petrified of our country's future./rwa

LBJ created an ad in 1964 claiming that the head of the KKK endorsed Goldwater. The image was just of a Klan rally.
The GOP refused to air such an ad exposing the CPUSA endorsement of Barack Obama.
LBJ’s library has the clip on youtube.

The fact that even ONE Democrat is elected in this country proves that people are mindless.
