The ‘informed voter’…and Dr. Carson’s politics of wishful thinking

Dr. Ben Carson won over many conservatives with his plain talk and common sense.

Unfortunately, it looks like he’s begun a journey down the Wishful Thinking Highway.

It’s true that many of today’s voters are woefully ill-informed. And it’s true that to vote responsibly requires the voter to make an effort to become informed. Yes…e-f-f-o-r-t.

As they say…‘Therein lies the rub’.

For the Low-Information voter, making an effort is not high on their priority. They see no difference between the need to vote…and the need to vote intelligently.

Rather than calling for acts (i.e.,making an ‘effort’) we know will be ignored, Dr. Carson would be well advised to follow a much more logical path to guide the ill-informed voter.

Make it easier for them; boil it down. Make it about Party ideology.

A nation where the economy is prosperous and growing benefits everyone…a nation where government picks winners-and-losers profits only the select few.

The Democrat Party believes in Big Government and crony legislation that favors a few select groups. The Republican Party supports free enterprise, and all business equally.

Business drives America. Everyone benefits, not just the select few.

Try using that logic the next time you talk to an ill-informed voter…

…after all, when was the last time Democrats bailed out one of them?
