The Athenians had a word for those so engrossed with their own affairs that they couldn't be bothered to shoulder the responsibility of running things. We still use it.
Which explains the low voter turnout for GOP primary, but I can't say I blame them when the choice is between one of the 7 deadly sins all lined up in a neat row. Lust was a flash in the pan. Wrath is always a top seller so that's got to be heavily peppered in the pot of all candidates. I can't believe Gluttony got as far as he did, and acedia is always a dark horse, but Avarice hybrid with Envy seems to beat them all out 'representing' republicans. But... does that represent America?

Loud mouth Christians believe in lying and misleading, and hypocrisy, and political bickering... as long as it serves their personal motives. They're, after all, God's people.
while i agree with your logic, let us all remember that people actually died to give us the right to vote, and i take that very seriously...women were arrested and beaten and misused in jails for months while trying to get it legal for women to vote..African Americans were also beaten, jailed and killed getting the right to vote, so while it may be very upsetting that people vote without a complete knowledge of the person or article, they do have that right!

I have to say though that I am now not surprised at someone holding up the Constitution, without any specific references beyond possibly the 10th amendment, and then using that is a foundation for arguing things that are against the plain language of the Constitution.
