If you look at misinformed voters you have to start with the Tea Party. This is a group that started up to protest against higher taxes and government spending despite the fact their taxes and government spending were going down. They were misinformed and their cause wasn’t a ruse to disguise contempt that the president is black,right?
There’s also a high number of Republican voters who think Obama is a Muslim, or was born in Kenya or is a socialist. You also have elected officials and campaign financiers in the GOP who spread misinformation like it’s chunky peanut butter.
There’s a lot of poor white voters who voted GOP this month during the midterms despite being the recipients of Democratic programs.
Republicans complain about taxes and government spending despite it being down under Obama. They complain about illegal immigrants and rush to be the first in line to be keystone cops on the border, despite illegal immigration being down. Remember that deficit Bush ran up? That’s down too.
A University of Texas poll asked respondents where we got our oil. 58% says our top source is Saudi Arabia and 15% said it’s Iraq. In reality Saudi Arabia and Iraq together provide us with 22%, less than a quarter (and for you Republican readers a quarter is 25 out of 100).
A consultant in the designing of the Affordable Healthcare Act (Obamacare, numbskulls), says the bill was designed to be misleading and to take advantage of the stupidity of the American voter. The Republicans are outraged. They ust have slept during the debates on the bill. They’re also the same guys who mislead during the debates. Do you remember death panels?
If “Obamacare” was designed to entice stupid people then Sarah Palin, Rick Perry and Ted Cruz would have loved it.
