There was a game show on the aire a few years ago did the same

the fact that those idiot's votes counted as much as mine did.
And look what it got us........ 
Just before the 1996 elections, CATO Institute did a survey of how
much people knoew about government power (Constitution, structure of
government, spending practices...). The results were telling by self-
identified groups:
(Rough estimates)
Democrats: 25%
Republicans: 55%
Independents: 60%
Libertarians: 85+%
That doesn't surprise me at all, especially the Libertarians. They are a
group that think enough about politics to seek out a third party that more
closely fits their views. To bad that that same group can't get it together
enough to actually field a successful candidate for any national office.
