HA! Funny. It does not really speak to anything aside from people are dumb sheep. I can find many Repubs like this as well. Actually had a 'debate' with one the other day. Sound bites from O'Reilly and a bad cover of the fear the person felt over the "Terrorists" and "Iran" were abundant! lol

I love Howard! I really miss listening to him!
I definitely think people should be more informed before voting. It is pretty common that when you are not secure in your knowledge, you will accept the word of an authority figure, even if you think it might be wrong. For example, as a teacher I have often said things like, "So do you agree that 12+13=23?" Unless a kid is really confident in his/her knowledge, she/he will agree with me. Someone with a microphone, interviewing people, is probably viewed as an authority on the subject. However, this does not change the fact that if people really knew the issues and their candidate, they would not accept the crap they're being fed.
