I have some, but not a ton of sympathy for people who are ill-informed and/or who are that influenced by television commercials. Sorry to be harsh, but stupid and/or lazy people get the government they deserve. If they didn't take the rest of us down with them, it wouldn't quite so sad.
Make no mistake, I AM sad for ill-informed and gullible people. Their lack of intelligence or sense of civic duty does not make them bad people, and I'm sorry for the trouble they continually get themselves into with their ill-advised votes. But I'm much more sorry for the trouble they continually get the rest of the nation into.
