I support this 100%. If there is one thing that really makes me mad, it's how the gov't treats the military, and it's members (for the record, I am not military nor ex-military....and it's biggest regret of my life, so far).
The waste and abuse of taxpayer's $$ is f'n CRIMINAL in my humble opinion. So very sad that it's the "low-information voters" (read: morons) that keep returning pure filth to office election cycle after election cycle.
I think there should be a 10 question, multiple choice quiz to go along with every ballot with simple questions like "The number of branches that make up the US Gov't is....". Must make at least a 70 to pass (FAA minimum

). Fail the quiz and your vote doesn't count. This would get rid of a lot of the filth and vermin currently infesting our gov't, and would go a LOOOOONG way towards re-establishing quality leadership in DC.
Have you heard the informal experiments Howard Stern has done in the past two election cycles? He sent his people out onto the streets to ask folks if they supported candidate A because of "x" or "y" and intentionally made "x" and "y" the positions of candidate B. The stupidity and gross ignorance revealed was and is mind-blowing. Youtube it if you haven't heard it.
