understandable that there are still people who are gaga over Obama. His policies have been spectacularly poor in terms of the economy. He has shown himself to be breathtakingly dishonest. I just don’t get it. Yes, Bill Clinton was personally a scumbag, but he wasn’t economically mentally deficient. I mean, what is the draw for Obama other than bigotry and racial animus? Maybe there is a sense that one would vote for a chimp if a “D” came after their name. Maybe leftists are so isolated from the facts that they just don’t get it. I really don’t understand. Can anyone enlighten me?
To me it is not really

Simple answer: most people are woefully uninformed and simply don’t put forth the effort to become informed.
Like it or not, both Romney and Obama will get the majority of their votes from uninformed voters who are simply deciding based on superficial/insubstantial factors.

But it’s not just uniformed, it is willfully blind. Why?

Lots of factors. Laziness. They don’t think their opinion really matters or that they can make a difference. Cynicism.

That may well be accurate. Sad, really. It is a sickness of our society, and I hope we can root out the sickness before it kills the patient.
