Dumbing down of America shows in voting
We get the government we deserve........What a joke, this is what public education gives us.
BTTT !
agree !
A bunch of dumbies.
Saw that...it was frightening!
These are the victims of public education and the MSM.
“Invent your own world, own rules, and focus on yourself.”
The sound bites and bumper stickers you hear and see present you with all of the depth you need to form an opinion.
I can see dummies not knowing who Romney, McCain and Huckabee are. But for people to not reconize Hillary, they must be living under a rock, or haven’t owned a tv since the late 80’s.
How could you not know what Hillary looks like?
Jay Leno’s “Jaywalking” segments always feature the biggest dumbasses in the State of California.
In past years, the clueless people he spoke with thought that the Civil War was fought in the 1940’s, thought the Pilgrims came from either Spain or Mexico, and couldn’t name the Vice President of the United States.
No wonder so many moonbat democrats get elected in the People’s Republic of California.
I saw that, really scary and shameful.
Thats how we ended up with big spending GW
When you say "NO ONE KNEW" you are apparently unaware that "NO ONE" is actually a small handful of people specifically singled out out of hundreds of random interviewees.
Those who do not understand the federal budget or how it works should refrain from commenting on it.
My father used to tell me that Americans were smart UNTIL “jaywalking” and “man on the street” questions by Letterman happened!! OMG!!! He was ASTOUNDED at people’s STUPIDITY!! It really upset him at the IGNORANCE in this country.
So are you saying that GWB is NOT a big spender?
I just want to hear you on the record.
Sorry Wideawake, I don’t think it took hours to get those Jay Walkers!
Sean Hannity’s producer does a similar segment stopping people near Madison Square Garden to similar results. No editing other than those willing to talk on the cell phone.
She's the one walking to the left of Huma correct?
Scary!
Insofar as the President has no control over the vast majority of the federal budget, the size of the federal budget cannot be laid at his feet.
It's the equivalent of saying that Congress is doing a good job in Iraq with its surge strategy.
Such people are a self-selecting group - and there is plenty of production selectivity going on as well.
There are plenty of uninformed people out there, no question.
But these entertainment segments are not truly representative of the public.
I know I would never agree to appear on camera for Leno or on radio for Hannity.
If you haven't already, get this book: the Deliberate Dumbing Down of America by Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt. It should be required reading for anyone of voting age. It's a real eye opener and shows how the gubmint has systematically dumbed down the population since the 1930's.
Here's a link to get a copy

you mean the 40 billion in aids relief
or do you mean the prescription drug benefits
or do you mean the expansion of almost every government entitlement program far past inflationary rates
or maybe “bio fuel” subsidies or drug research subsidies
PLEASE
