Ignorance Really Is Bliss

I realize that voting is a right. But as with all rights, there are responsibilities. If you choose to stay uninformed about the candidates before an election and then still exercise your right to vote, then you’re a very irresponsible person.

It turns out that Obama’s voters were some of the most irresponsible voters.

Zogby released the results of a poll that tested the knowledge of voters who voted for Obama. A one word description of those voters? Pathetic.

They new more negative stuff about McCain and Palin than they did about Obama. More than half of these, well, morons, didn’t even know which party controlled the House and Senate.

This poll was commissioned by the producers of a documentary called “How Obama Got Elected“. While it’s an indictment on Obama’s voters for their lack of knowledge about their candidate, it’s also an indictment against the mainstream news media.

In a previous post,  I said that just because you have a right to vote doesn’t mean you should exercise it. This survey proves that in spades.
