Why Tuesday asks this question of all the candidates and complains because Romney fails to participate other than to say, "I sure do."
Well, I do too. But you don't fix it by increasing voter turnout. I shudder every time I think of the voter registration drives we have at my high school. We don't need to increase voter turnout. Having greater voter turnout doesn't always produce a better result. We don't want to emulate other countries if the results aren't enviable.
We don't fix the system by increasing voter turnout. We fix the system by increasing the turnout of informed voters--a rare commodity.
I'm not complaining about the number of Democrats--though from what I've heard they know all of the talking points and none of the details. But having thousands more people go to the polls knowing nothing more than what they've heard on TV commercials isn't my idea of fixing the system.
Back to overcommunicating. . . . .
