Republicans' Insane Political Strategy: Ruining Our Country Hurts the Democratic Party
http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/republicans-deadly-political-strategy-damage-country-and-you-damage-democraticThe Republicans have their strategy, and they're sticking to it, even though it involves destroying lives and even killing people.
It's working so well based on a simple statistical reality.
The majority of Americans – depending on which survey you look at, between 60 and 75 percent – cannot name which political party controls the House of Representatives, which party controls the Senate, or either.
Because most Americans don't know who controls Congress, when Congress misbehaves, as they have been doing for six years, most Americans aren't sure who to blame.
Enter the Republican Chaos Strategy, based entirely on this statistical and political reality.

So I guess in the long run the democratic republic form of governance has failed as an experiment. To be a true one you have to let everyone vote even the "ignorant" people who aren't smart enough to know when they are being lied to and are acting against their own self interests.
To bad we can't amend the constitution to let only the "intelligent" vote but then who sets the standard and how would it be tested?
Maybe it can't be fixed. Maybe we are just screwed which is what I am beginning to think. I'm surrounded by a lot of Faux news swilling addicts who buy it hook line and sinker. I could try and school them but doubt it would sink through their racially motivated hatred of Obama haze and rock skulls and I'm becoming just too discouraged to keep trying. 
All I can do is keep voting for Democrats in the meantime.
