The Moron-American Voting Bloc

Please do your best, bigdice, to convince them that even here in Deep-in-the-Hearta, there are many who oppose the War Mongerers.

Here's more along the same line:

Back in the late 1970s, Steve Martin did a comedy routine in which he reminded the audience that we now live on a different planet.

"Don't you remember?" he'd ask, describing some natural disaster in the recent past that had required the evacuation of all humanity to a more hospitable world. The punch line was something like, "And remember how the government decided it just wasn't going to tell any of the really stupid people.... " And he'd pause, and then say, "Uh oh."

It's just a joke, of course. Even really stupid people, in this age of cable news and the Internet, can find the facts. Even really stupid people can discern truth from fiction, given all the tools at our disposal. Even really stupid people know what's what.

I should warn really stupid people that I'm likely to offend them in the next few paragraphs. Read with caution:

The "party of nonvoters" is 120 million strong. Whoever corrals them will hold the key to future elections

"Politics is who gets what, when, and how..."
—Harold Lasswell

America's largest political party, in Walter Dean Burnham's phrase, is "the party of nonvoters"—120 million strong. Barring a realigning event on the order of the Great Depression, today's "fifty-fifty" tie in American politics can't be broken with current voters. The electorate needs to expand. The first party to mobilize a significant fraction of nonvoters will become the new American majority.
Bit of interesting reading.
