Book Reviews of Just How Stupid Are We?: Facing the Truth About the American Voter
Book Review: Voters from Hell
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was soooo much fun, even while it made me cringe. With one of the most important elections of our lifetime coming up, I'm using it to do a talk that I may well title "Voters from Hell". We The People are apparently as clueless as frogs, with little interest in issues, and with candidates who are trying to feed us what we think we want, if only they can figure out the level of our ignorance. In a headlong rush to the lowest common denominator, flip flopping has developed into a fine art. This little book can make us ashamed of what we've become.
Ah well.....at least I know that I understand all the issues. Now, what were those freedoms in the First Ammendment that we're supposed to protect?
