Another nail in the GOP coffin.

Too many low information voters out there that vote merely on name recognition or 30 second sound bites to make a difference.

For the general election, yes.  Not necessarily in the primaries.

You know that has me thinking.  I was a low information voter too.  It's taken me a long time to understand how this government works and how politics operate and who all the players are.

I had all the civics and government courses in school, I knew how government was supposed to operate.  I'm talking about a "real" understanding of the complexity of politics.

I occasionally try to discuss issues with some family members and their eyes just gloss over like I'm talking in a foreign language.

That should be your first indication that government has become too big and too cumbersome, when people simply give up trying to comprehend it or its mechinizations.

Unfortunately, Obama has been ridding the military of people likely to support the constitution and putting his lackeys in their place.

Those lackeys can give their orders... but who will follow them?

I'll gladly walk into Leavenworth before I take action against peaceful Americans.

And the majority of active duty feel the same way. (At least I hope)
