Re: Obama V Romney
I’m not supporting illegal immigration, but the immigrants are hardly that much of a drain. Most come to the US to find a job and contribute to the economy. The US does not have social benefits even close to some European countries so it’s not as if illegals are a massive drain. I do think they should be better regulated.
No one touches topics that are going to cost votes. That’s the ugly side of democracy.
Edit: Just wanted to add, that’s *one *of the ugly sides of democracy. One particular pet peeve of mine is that every moron gets a vote. There should definitely be a test (it can be relatively basic) that requires you to know basic facts. For example, did Obama spend $200 million a day on his trip to India?
As far as test though - it is not stupidity alone that’s a problem it is the outright lying by the right coupled with the ditto heads believing everything thrown at them. Some are willfully ignorant.
