The most uninformed would also vote for whoever had the longest string of specious statements rattled off at a 3rd grade vocabulary and comprehension level. Sounds like a great plan for ensuring the future of this country.
the most uninformed already vote in that direction, that's why the religious right is still kicking around.
The most uninformed voters in the US are the gullible dweebs who get all their information from the mainstream media and vote for whoever offers them the most entitlement freebies and emotional promises. Oh, and those who vote for a candidate based solely on his or her race.
Then what media are they supposed to get their information from, if not CNN, network news, Time, Newsweek, etc? Something with a radical right slant like Fox, Breitbart, Red State, Limbaugh, or Savage would somehow provide a truer view of current events?
And as far as what you call "entitlement freebies" are concerned - what's wrong with wanting a government that actually does something for it's citizens? As opposed to doing nothing, or worse, going out of it's way to make people miserable.
And in closing - voting for someone only for their race? Is that a shot at the motivation for electing Barack Obama? While there were doubtlessly those who had, there were just as many - if not more - who voted against him because of his race.
