Totally wrong.The number of voters hasn’t gone up like that, and I suspect that the ratio of Low Information Voters to Total Voters hasn’t changed much in the past century.SmartPhones have nothing to do with it.In fact, I think I saw a similar cartoon from 50 years ago charting the rise of Television and Know Nothing Voters.
While voting intelligently is important, so is showing up, and good if the dummies don’t. Maybe our 13% turnout, as opposed to nations where voters risk their lives, literally, to vote, get 80-90+% turnout, is a good thing?
I’m disappointed in many of Obama’s decisions, night guant, and I’m not, as often said here, a fan of using drones unwisely, but do you REALLY want to compare the number off people killed by drones, with the hundreds of thousands killed by “shock and awe” and more “conventional” old hat methods?

Rubbish. Fox is the only news organization that’s doing its job. They empty scores of liberals to keep the debate honest.

As Toles noted in a cartoon some time ago, “at least our bombs are getting smarter.”

I can find a better correlation between registered Democrats and ill informed voters.

You mean brainwashing like not bothering to report any story that makes their members look bad? Like CNN, The New York Times, MSNBS, CBS . . . .
