I believe in God AND science.

This is interesting, and it is quite possible to believe both.  It is well know that many of the early scientist's were avowed bible believing Christians who did their scientific work to understand God's creation and His natural laws.  It would be interesting to understand how you view science and God's word.  It is a discussion that is not condusive to numerous posts on this board.  But for starters, I am literalist and believe in a 7 day creation period. However the most important aspect is not whether you believe in a seven day period or if it actually took longer than 7 literal days, but that God actively created the universe and has actively worked since the beginning in the lives of his creation.  And, even more importantly, that God's MORAL law is absolute and is not invalid no matter what scientific evidence we may find.  Holiness is more important to God than scientific knowledge that we may possess.

Not you, but show me where you called out anyone else for this low info voter thing.

 

Different deal...if you vote for any candidate and know nothing about them, you are a low information voter.

 

If you have a different opinion than me on a subject that you have bothered to research and draw a different conclusion, I may think you are wrong (and you me) but I wouldn't call you a low information poster.

Although I am not a literalist in the sense that God created the heavens and earth in 7 days, I could not agree with this post more. Ultimately, it does not matter...it is the belief it is God's handiwork that matters.

Let me agree with LumRaider:  Just because someone disagrees with me/us does not necessarily make them a Low Information Voter.  All I can say is -- Connect the dots...

I would classify those who accept bald face lies as reliable information to be low information voters.  Not because they arent capable of understanding its a lie but because they believe that the motive behind the lie is ok or because the liar is a nice/likeable person.  Hence they do not care to pursue the facts/truth as it may give the "other guy" the upper hand.

Not a different deal. The people who throw that term around no basically nothing about the people they are calling out. You have no real idea how much these people know, or don't know, about the candidates. Frankly, most people don't keep up the the issues and political platforms of all the candidates. By your definition, most people, and that includes Republicans, vote with low information.

 I think in a different thread to a question asked by PamFam I said that low information voters reside along the political spectrum (Democrat, Independent and Republican).  The question that can't be definatively answered is where is the largest concentration of them!!  You would assert that would be in the Republican camp, I assert they are in he Democratic camp.  If you can find any INDEPENDENT data that would show the distribution let us know. I do not think any data exists to show as almost assuredly it would have too much subjectivity too it to be reliable.

The election of obama -- a non-qualified, incompetent empty suit is proof that the majority of Low Information Voters resides in the Democratic party.  The man-child is in over his head.  He can't even secure our borders.  And people still support him.
