Yes, I agree, though I don't think that the people listen to the so-called "mainstream press" anymore. With the Internet and the wealth of information for a variety of sources, people ARE becoming better informed.
I just wish that people who didn't know anything wouldn't vote. Conservatives would win by a landslide across the country. ;-)
Go Bill Simon, conservative Republican for Governor!
That's exactly right. I know of so many old-timers who dutifully show up for every election, and then basically flip a coin in the voting booth. Any citizen who isn't informed but who still comes to vote is negligent in his duties. He really should stay home.
It is true that, the more citizens become informed, the more they side with conservative Republicans. And the internet is helping to change things in that direction. The GOP leadership needs to wake up to this, and focus on educating people about our principles. Most folks stay home on election day, you know--probably because they don't see anything special about either party.
