What do you mean by “this is what we have to look forward to”? These people aren’t running our country.
I think voter education is a general problem and not one-sided. There are just as many videos from the other side with displays of ignorance (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjxzmaXAg9E).
Just in case you didn’t notice, there’s a huge conservative bias here and these questions were republican talking points:
1) Conservative voters would answer the same way for the seeing Russia from their house question. It’s a trick question and is easily interpreted as paraphrasing.
2) Obama didn’t get his other opponents kicked off the ballot. He pointed out that they had not met the eligibility requirements regarding signatories. There’s a difference.
3) Biden forgot to credit Kinnock once in his ‘88 campaign, which led to a Dukakis smear attack. He had been properly crediting Kinnock the entire race.
4) Bill Ayers is irrelevant. Stupid question.
5) The “where do you get your news?” question tries to portray the “liberal media” as less informational than other news sources. Well, guess what: http://pewresearch.org/pubs/993/who-knows-news-what-you-read-or-view-matters-but-not-your-politics
That’s right, NPR is #2. The Colbert Report and The Daily Show performed well above Fox News and O’Reilly.
