If you base your vote on an ad campaign, from either a Dem or a Repuk, then you are not what I would call an informed voter.

The whole corporation controlling elections would not matter either if people actually spent 30 minutes a week researching topics on their own and did not listen only to political ads on during "Dancing with the stars"!

This government, the police, the congress and corporations love a stupid America. And they are getting what they want!

1. No offense, but you do live in a "stupid written all over it" state.
Seriously. There are people who will vote for the person who uses "God" or "Jesus" in every sentence and wears a flag for clothing (despite the prohibition on doing so in the US Flag Code). It doesn't matter if they've had six ex-spouses, fucked 20 minors, done illegal drugs most of their lives, used campaign money to buy a limo, and have an entourage of same-sex lovers following them everywhere. If they use the right buzz words, they're going to get the dumbfuck vote. I live in PA and Corbett and Toomey are both ahead in the polls. What the FUCK is up with that? They're both assholes from hell!!!

6. They also have the world's largest network of indoctrination centers
and start re-programming their victims at a very young and impressionable age.

Their first step isn't even to teach the little ones "facts" so much as to teach them the eternal importance of not thinking. (Thinking makes baby jesus cry)
