Democrats' great green hope? Americans only want to vote for marijuana.

Things are not looking too good for Democrats in the upcoming 2014 midterm elections, and a new George Washington University Battleground poll is, on the surface, more bad news.

The respondents were roughly evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, but 64 percent of GOP voters said they are "extremely likely" to vote in November, versus 57 percent of Democrats. President Obama's 44 percent approval rating won't help the Democrats, and a daunting 73 percent said their personal economic situation has stayed the same or gotten worse over the past four years.

But there is one silver lining for Democrats: Marijuana. While 82 percent of respondents disapprove of Congress — with both parties "universally despised," according to Democratic pollster Celinda Lake — 73 percent support medical marijuana in their states, 53 percent back decriminalizing pot, and most importantly, 68 percent said they are more likely to go to the polls if marijuana is on the ballot.

It makes a little sense. I would have to be stoned, drunk, tripping and unconscious to vote for a Democrat, and even then they would have to send in armed Black Panthers and government goons to torture me, along with union thugs to vote for me, and corrupt officials to replace my ballot with one that is fixed.

This is truly what is meant by the Low Information Voter, most in a perpetual state of delusion.
