65. Voters are stupid

It continues to amaze me the Republican party is a legitimate contender. Not voting for Democrats is one thing, but why vote for those guys? Majority, it seems, don't look closely and the Republicans are good at putting on a show, appearing to be something they are not. Appealing to issues that don't even to exist. I live in Arizona and it is crazy to listen people here (Only one person in this case so TWIW) that 'Separation of Church of State was secretly added to the Constitution against the wishes of the founding fathers and the proof of that is because on dollar bills it says "In God We Trust". Or that Obama wants government health care(which I would like) when that isn't even what we requested as far back to his campaign. Some background before I go on to these next two, in Arizona awhile back, the Republican legislature and governor cut funding to AHCCS which is the state Medicaid agency. In ways they did they made it harder to be accepted into it even for very low income people and the biggest way is those without children weren't accepted. Even if you made $0, if you don't have kids, you can't get on. Now one Republican I talked to actually argued Government health care is bad because they make rules that you have to be a certain way and have to do this or that in order to be accepted and AHCCS was the example why. It was something like that I couldn't believe it. Another person I talked to said "I hate AHCCS" for the changes. It wasn't them, it was the Republican legislature.

Also a few Republicans awhile back(I haven't heard this recently--more like 6 months ago) were saying that Obama wants to cut or get rid of Social Security!

I wish I was making this up. Democrats and the things they fight for are receiving blame for decisions the Republicans make, by Republicans. Then there is stupid racist bullshit that is far too common in this state or at least Maricopa County.

I'm sure there are Republican voters that have all the facts but the only ones I'm coming across are operating with absolutely crazy information and they come across as serious when they say these things.
