Exactly. I`m sure Biff and Bubba and their friends at the gun club would ace this test.

My observations have been that most C-D "regulars" would probably flunk the test. I don't know if there's a similar politics/election web forum where there's a comparable obvious lack of education/knowledge regarding the founding of our nation and currlent events or where the levels of ignorance, racisim and hate are expressed so regularly ... and encouraged.

That is what the internet is all about. You can spew nonsense and believe in it. In real life, someone would be shaking their head in disbelief if people spoke aloud what they have posted here.

I still think the uninformed here are more informed than the general populace. Scary, that.

I got all 11 right. I am actually surprised that anyone missed more than one. It was pretty basic.

Ten out of eleven correct, but should have aced it. Because of overconfidence went through the quiz very rapidly, checking boxes about as fast as I could as the answers rolled off the top of my head.

even though I got all 11 right
I can easily understand how you can miss more then 1


Mitt Romney Explains His Changed Position on Abortion - YouTube

Mitt Romney's Massachusetts history with same-sex marriage - Los Angeles Times


I can easily see how someone can miss these 2

I have more of a problem with only 40% knew Repubs have majority of the house.

I can understand missing 1 or 2 but only 60% knew Romney was governor of Mass, and only 39% that Roberts was the chief justice, I would have hoped that more paid attention to the recent supreme court ruling, less than half knew about PACs
