Will the voters here in the US ever wake up?
I'm looking at the Az results and am amazed how people voted. When I look at other areas in this country - I'm finding people having no clue of what is happening in our country. We vote crooks, we vote people involved in porn, we vote people who can't communicate and people who use intimidation. Is there any way we can stop this garbage?

1. when BS walks common sense goes in the trash
Look at what is being pushed and yet we have serious problems that go unattended to. Any wonder why we have these problems. Like Churchill said, "You can count on America doing the right thing after it has done everything else."

2. Most of that is subjective......
....Someone you might think is a crook may be heralded by another person. Being involved in porn is not a crime and does not disqualify anyone, either. Being able to communicate isn't necessarily a prerequisite for all people when it comes to choosing candidates, and some people like it when their candidate uses intimidation! So, to answer your question, no.

3. people won't get the picture until it's too late. usually they start noticing after
the votes have already been cast. they don't really pay attention unless it directly involves them right now. they don't bother to think about how something affecting someone else will affect them. that takes too much effort. and fox news tells them who to be scared of and what to worry about so that they don't miss the next top model and other important things like that.
