Reply #40: Did he run on union-busting? [View All]

I don't think all people are stupid, but "stupid" and "uninformed" have different meanings.

Most people do not follow politics closely, if a all. Poll after poll and survey after survey have proven that. PI never did myself until five or six years ago and I've followed it more closely only recently.

Political message board posters are not typical of the general population. Only a very small % of the adult population even bothers to vote in Presidential eletions (smaller in off years) and not all of the small % who vote really know what's going on.

Assuming most of the people of Wisconsin knew Walker's platform and understood all its economic and non-economic ramifications is a huge leap.

And, as another poster noted, many vote Republican on religious issues alone.
