People don't undertstand the ins and outs of these amendments/laws... They get led to the voting booth with the most simplistic ads imaginable and vote agaoinst their own best interests...

In Charlotte we were bombarded by these ads and every time one came on all I could do is think "These ads are aimed at morons"... But morons vote... The one I was behind in line to vote yesterday was dumber than a box of creek rocks and the poling people had to all but vote fir her... She was seriously challenged just giving her name and address??? But in her hand was a sample Republican ballot so all she had to do was color inside the lines in the booth...

We need to get $$$ the heck outta politics and force people to actually learn about candidates and issues...

As I have suggested in the past, everyone should have the right to vote but only the ones where the voter can identify the 3 branches of government, the name of the president and the name of one of their 2 senators should be counted... I'll even make it easier by making it multiple choice...
