Why voter competency testing should be mandatory.

   It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand America is in serious trouble.
   I will not pull punches.
   Both Democrats AND Republicans are responsible for setting policies that were not wise or good for America!
   How we GET OUT of this mess IS the point.
   In the end, America is in trouble because of two things. First is Barack Hussein Obama.
   The President sets the "tone" and "agenda" for his Administration. When a President picks/nominates COMPETENT/professional Cabinet members who know what their departments are supposed to do and how they should be doing it, the bureaucracy runs reasonably well.
   Obama has NOT chosen his subordinates well. They do not do their jobs well, and spend more time covering their incompetence than proving their competence.
   The second "thing" that contributed to our situation are the voters who put Obama & Company in office.
   When you elect idiots who choose fools, you cannot expect a functioning goverment to remain functioning. When you elect partisan hacks more determined to secure reelection than make America a viable nation, you cannot expect AMERICA to move forward.
  We need to cull the "low information voters" from the voter ranks. What is a "low information voter (LIV)?"
  To me, a LIV is one who has to look at his skin color to remember who to vote for. Another example of an LIV is someone who votes for a candidate because "he's cute." (no joke, I know a gal who voted for clinton in 94 for that reason--then watched her freak when he passed a tobacco tax that put her family out of the tobacco business!)
   We need voters who UNDERSTAND MORE THAN ONE ISSUE!
   To this end, I propose a test be created.
  Nothing complex, no getting too deep into an issue. For instance, gun control. Candidate A wants to ban all guns. Candidate B wants to ban some guns. Candidate C wants no ban on guns.
  The voter must know what each candidate stands for. It's that simple.
   Bringing competency back to government--THAT's the hard part.
