Stupid People, And They Vote

[n0Mad]

I know there's been more talk about Obama, McCain, and Palin than I care to talk about but I listened to this clip today and just couldn't take it and thought this deserved its own thread.

If you support a candidate, great. Even if I don't agree with your choice, if you can back up your decision with logic and reasoning then I will fully support your choice even if I choose differently. But my god people, at least have a clue! Uninformed voting is worse than not even voting at all.

I could rant, but I'll just post the link to the sound clip. It's from Howard Stern's radio show. I can't stand Howard Stern personally, but this was a great segment.

Ignorance is what's brought this country to it's current state, imo. It sounds like it's just going to continue until it implodes on it's own lack of logic and knowledge.

[TitsMcGee]

OMFG although I'm quite amused by that I am also disgusted. People need to read up on the canidates before voting, for all our sakes.

[LadyKay]

That is just sad.

[Rev.Reverence]

G...RRRRR...people are borderline retards...I'ld say they were retards...but I do not wish to insult the retards.

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

Wow.

[Guest greyhalo]

There are all sorts of basic voting guides that break down what candidates support and wish to achieve. I doesn't take much to pick one up and read it. Also, the debates are not difficult to follow. So, yes, I wish people would do the minimum to educate themselves on issues.

My Boshy called the thing about Obama the second he started to run, saying that women would support Hillary just because she's a woman and black people would support Obama sheerly because he's colored.

Those sorts of people need to just...disappear imo .

"HE'S AN ARAB!"

Yeah, he's only ... what? 7% or so black and about 40% or more Arabic? I can't remember his racial breakdown but I do know he's mostly Arabic, then some other stuff, and very little black.

"HE'S AN ARAB!"

That's not what most African Americans think.

Here's a fun little quiz from the same site I got the audio link from. The poster recommends giving this quiz to everyone before they are allowed to vote.

Where is the right to vote guaranteed in the Constitution?

1. Article I

2. Article III

3. The Tenth Amendment

4. There is no right to vote

And the fact that the person I'm quoting is basing her distrust of him, and her vote, on his ethnicity?

I'd say that's a shining example of stupidity, thanks.

Yep. Not voting for somebody solely because of their race is just as stupid and racist as voting for somebody solely because of their race.

Stupid people breed too. In large numbers.

[Scales]

That was painful to listen to.
