Im glad to see so many people agree about this. This is one of the biggest faults I see in American voters. People seem to think they have a grasp of the issues, but so frequently you find they are basing their opinion off of what they are told by an authority (pastor, professor, mass media). Its unfortunate, and I think that it is due for change. I think this election will set records for number of first time voters...and by the time the next election rolls around people will be more motivated to "get smart" on the issues. Thats a lot of wishful thinking though.
