  • I can give stats that back up just about any position (w/n reason). First we must define the term "uninformed voter" & determine if the speaker/writer was ref'g to those that meet the definition. It might be used to describe the misinformed; and/or, those lacking a reasonable degree of intelligence. I' ve used the term, perhaps in error, to refer to the latter. I've heard many that sound like the latter. I 've certainly seen many I believe to be the latter enter the polling place/voting cubicle.

  • I believe that the more uninformed a voter is, the less likely he/she is to vote. If you're uninformed, you're probably uninterested in politics. I think the statistics back that up.

  • I was kinda half-expecting him to start talking about our education in The Iraq and Such As somewhere toward the end there >_>

  • I thought the title said 'uniformed' voters love perry... I'm so happy it didn't!

  • How's this for uninformed voters. I was on my way to class when I heard a woman say that she disliked Obama because he has big ears and was planning to vote for Perry because he is cute. A person who analyzes the presidential debates and does research has the same voting power as her.

  • @zero9112 Well, look at a large swath of Obama voters in the AA community. I personally know several that voted for him for no other reason but his skin color. He will still walk away with that demographic very easily. Before you all start, if I am wrong in 1012 about that then you can call me the names you want to call me. Problem is that I am not wrong.

  • @maconsumner Yes, I did notice that on the 2008 elections as well. Point is that the American culture can be extremely superficial when it comes to politics. Perhaps in the future, people will have to take an exam that test their political knowledge so that It can reduce the amount of uninformed voters.

  • @zero9112 Well stated. Hopefully we will be able to get away from this left/right pyridine in our life times and realize that there is little difference between a R and a D. It does make for interesting conversation and theater for these bone heads to talk about though. I guess that at least they have jobs, as they may be.

    Good observation about Romney crossing out his rebuttals.

    "The defense has nothing further your honor, the prosecution has owned itself."

  • Comment removed

  • Since when has Pakman been on this show?

  • Have David Pakman on again! He rocks!

  • @Packerd01 Very shit trolling. Now bugger off, ponce fudgepackerd.

  • It seems that Republicans treat their debates like the Special Olympics. The more handicap a person is, the more lauded they are. And since Rick Perry seemed verbally handicapped, he is going to be praised for his performance. In the mind of the average Tea Party person it is "us against those who are literate".

  • Rick Perry = anti-freedom and anti-individualism.

  • Big surprise, stupid people like the stupid candidate. Next you'll tell me the sky is blue. >.>

  • Was it before, it was before, before he was against he was before, before he was after he was before after, before before after after before before before before, ah after before, after when before was after before was before after, after was before was after before, after before!

  • 2:15 - 2:53

    My new ringtone!

  • Yay! David Pakman!!

  • Anybody ever watch Adam Curtis's The Century of the Self? Great documentary that explains exactly how this shit happens.

  • David Pakman FTW

  • Surprising...

    Time for some ''population control''. Especially in the south.

  • He was up against gay, he was gay, uhhh, he was for gay marriage before he was against tits, uhh... That was AWESOME!

  • The guest is right on. This Perry is outright wrong for the country. People need to look into each candidates history and then stay home and vote for no one because they are all crooks.

  • Rick Perry has a Swagger!!, No way, It's more like a Stupor!!

  • Effete urban intellectual snobs look down their noses at us in the real world. Media eletes think they know it all. Who think they know better than us bungling country hicks. It'd be funny, if they weren't in power.

  • @Hughganaught You aren't going to fix that by voting Republican, I hope you realize.

  • @aaronpolitical No, the origonal eletes were republican. I don't always vote Republivan, the lesser of 2 evils is still, evil.

  • This is hilarious...

  • Swagga like Perry?

  • @Nielsen700 no one on the corner got swagga like perry, swagga like perry, swagga swagga like perry

  • Rick Perry: The man who got a bunch of people together in a dome to pray for more money and rain... and ended up underfunding the fire department, and got more fire.

  • WHAT? That makes no sense! You make no sense, psychopathic Bush meat puppet

  • Lol is this supose to be proffesional

  • Naw Rick Perry isn't the next George Bush... It's not like Florida is going to magically lose all their votes again...

  • Karl Rove's in there somewhere?

  • Michele Bachmann makes Sarah Palin look tame,and cute like a puppy.

    Perry makes Bush look like a rhode fucking scholar.

    Is this the best the republican party can do?

    What the fuck is Perry even trying to say?

    I love how cocky Romney is getting,if he couldn't win against even Mccain last election,what makes him so sure that he will be able to win now?

  • Uninformed voters? I bet all 3 of them voted for Obama on his campaign material alone. They didn't look into his voting record.

  • @eedobee If you knew anything about The Young Turks you would know they are very critical of Obama and would rather see a different president in office.

  • @eedobee obama voted with his party 96% of the time given that the turks are rater liberal they probably approved of most of what obama voted for

  • Rick Perry makes Bush look smarter. That should be enough of a warning for the American people.

  • I'm pretty sure romney put a box around whatever he wrote, and then underlined something in it. possibly a circle aswell.... right, left, bottom (or circle), top, underline (or bottom if circle)

  • Comment removed

  • the new guy is cute

  • title states the MOST obvious fact EVER!

  • I thought it said uniformed voters,... I thought they liked Ron Paul.

  • Ban Texas from having presidential candidates!

  • @JDubs878 Probably the safest bet. And I live in Texas.

  • Which Rick Perry was talking there?

    Was it the Rick Perry before he was brainfucked, dumbed down to marginal mental capacity or after he quit as cheerleader for Al Gore?

  • Romney gives the best facial expressions. This one says, "Rick Perry, you are a fucktard."

  • when perry was talking this is all i heard. “Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?”

  • Well, d'uuuuuuh.

    .

    The most obvious fact ever, -____- Half the U.S population belongs to this category in one form or another, it's incredible.

  • Assholes of a feather...

  • Uninformed voters are communists. All voters are oppressive of one another.

  • @Packerd01 What are you doing on this channel - annoying everyone? You are an i . . t, f . . k off

  • Could you please restate that in English?

  • @Packerd01 Its looks more like you got a disorder problem, its called Antisocial Personal Disorder - Idiot

  • Rick Perry is such a dumbass. If he wins primaries, Obama will win. Obama only has to worry about Romney, which he is less likely to win the primaries.

  • Comment removed

  • thi is how they do debates,

    1. wait for questions

    2. say somthing about obama

    3. completely disregard the question

    4. go after the other guy

  • For once TYT is right. Perry is another Bush, and voters are dumb. We need Paul, but if not him, then I'll take Romney.

  • I like the new guy he was spot on today.

  • @MrShifty087 he's not a new guy, I believe he's just a guest, unless TYT hired him. Last time cI checked he was a radio host of a David Packman Show.

  • @MrShifty087 The "new guy" has been on a few times. He's David Pakman and he actually has a show on youtube too. You should check him out.

  • @shadowedge69 - After reading your comment, I watched this again, but still missed any ignorant comments "that little kid" made...

    I'd hate to be duped again...please explain what I'm missing...

  • to funny

  • That little kid is so annoying and ignorant.

  • Cool, David Pakman on TYT!

  • That was just painful to watch! lol

  • lmaooooo

  • I like David.

  • Wow...

    I would almost prefer Obama to stay in office than for anyone else to be in office. America's going downhill fast.

  • @MrMiamojo < Same shit, bro, same shit!

    BUT, how long will that hold Perry's crazed ass off?

    Four years? Not enough!

    Can we just go ahead and put down all people like that?

    I know that isn't Lib of me, BUT, I'm legit just thinking about the good of our species.

    People like this are fucking poison.

  • @MrMiamojo Uh Hello! Ron Paul! He wants to bring the troops home, end the fed, and end the war on drugs. Sounds like a win in my book.

  • @redz285 First, he needs support by his base, then if he had it is way then it would mean change in extreme ways.

  • This country needs and deserves career politician dumbfuckery. GO PERRY! AMRICA, FUCK YOU LIBRRULS!

  • America's worst enemy is the average, uninformed voter.

  • @Packerd01 No. He's just a sellout that enriched himself while he was governor. Go shove your 'liberals' up your FudgePackerd.

  • I'm just going to say it, I like David Pakman. He's definetly a keeper.

  • i like the guy on the left.

  • Ron Paul isn't real. Just ignore that he's an actual candidate.

  • Uh- what? Wow. At first I thought Perry might be kicking us a freestyle? He sure is a tough act to follow huh.

  • Perry is Bush 2.0, the Beta version. He's even worse, works less, does less for you, and is pure fucking evil.

  • “Is it the Mitt Romney that was on the side of -against the Second Amendment before he was for the Second Amendment? Was it- was before – he was before the social programs from the standpoint of - he was for standing up for Roe v. Wade before he was against first – Roe v. Wade? I mean we'll wait until tomorrow and see which Mitt Romney we're really talking to tonight.”

    Rick Perry, Bushier than Bush. Texas Soda Cracker!!

  • lol I LOVE Mitt Romney's reaction to Perry. I can just see in his mind ok I'll point out this and this ...*hears more of what Perry says* screw it I'm not even going even bother with you son. You pwned yourself well enough that anything I say will be beating a dead horse.

  • @MistressArte I had the same feeling.

  • @MistressArte I had the same feeling.

  • @bamboo4tameshigiri Why aren't you a politician? o.O T__T

  • @MistressArte Because I'm not evil and I tend to hate about 75% of all people because at least that many are completely uninformed morons. For the same reason I could never be a waiter or an actor. I can't fake a smile and lie to people's faces. That's why, sweetheart.

  • I feel like my brain was just scooped out with a hot shovel piece by piece.

  • To Michael, That Beard is a "Shure" thing, very distinguished!! :)

  • Uninformed voters also love FOX NEWS!!

  • @sargetech Uniformed voters watch tv news in general

  • @sargetech Uninformed voters love Obama (ACORN)

  • @ekjohndeer ACORN was shut down a long time ago dumbass.

  • @Makosis I'm talking about how Obama got elected the first time !! If you couldn't figure that out your a dumbass!!

  • @sargetech hence... they are not informed hehe its a downward spiral really

  • Rick Perry, Bush's retarded cousin...........

  • Ron Paul really does seem like the only one who actually tends to make sense.

  • That was gas!

  • Yeah, nominate Rick Perry! Because Obama's gonna say "He wanted to secede from the Union and kill Social Security" and then win in a landslide. I think Romney isn't as much of a wacko, could bring in some moderates, and maybe win a general election.

  • Its confirmed. Rick Perry is a robot sent from the future to kill us all. He just blue screened there for a second. Understandable since its so hard to maintain that level of stupid going for so long.

  • I like the new macaulay culkin lookin' dude. Great points.

  • Perry is dangerous enough to be concerned about, but.... The democrats are the ones pushing for a FAILED Obama second term, and even though they should push a REAL progressive through their primary, they will not because they're just as corrupt as the GOP. They're not as dangerous, but just as corrupt, so let's just be honest about that. My POINT, no matter how bad the democrats fuck this up, the GOP has ZERO chance of taking the white house. That's how BAD they really are.

  • Rick makes dubya seem smarter by comparisons.

  • Fool me once.... uhhhh....shame on... shame on...you.... the fooled man can't get fooled again! hehehehe..

  • The pause when he was talking about Roe V. Wade was just deafening. Straight up embarrassing. I never thought someone worse than Bush would pop up in politics. What's even scarier is that there is someone probably even worse than Perry out there....*shudders*

  • Thumb me up if you've listened several times to what Rick Perry said and still have no idea what the hell he said.

  • this brings up the debate about the right to vote. Some people should not be allowed to vote if they don't have a strong political opinion founded on reasonable arguments. The voters supporting Rick Perry are the exact opposite. They'll only worsen the situaion àof the country. if any of the Republican candidates becomes president you better get out of the US as fast as you can.

  • Bush just seemed like a moron. Perry seems downright evil.

  • @peleproductions

    It's funny to me how Americans have such a light view about Bush now that he is not in office. Haha he was so dumb as opposed to a man directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people and high treason to his country. But ofc, they put him in charge in the first place so i can't expect much.

  • @DeathtoRaiden1 Believe me, I do not have a light view of bush. However I was commenting on the impression bush gave on me. Bush did do some pretty outrageous stuff, but Rick Perry seems way more scary, because it is absolutely clear that he is a downright scumbag.

  • @DeathtoRaiden1 Well, now that we know that Cheney etc. did indeed have that much control over him.

  • @peleproductions I agree. The only other thought that I can add to is that as absolutely, undeniably, extremely unintelligent as he is for a governor, let alone a president, atleast Bush in my opinion legitimately believed in most everything he did, said and policies he enacted. Bush, in his mind(which was likely the problem) really believed that he was doing the best for the United States and wholeheartedly believed that he was acting in our best interest. Perry is just a lying selfish scumbag!

  • Perry is a retarded sociopath, Obama isn't doing great at all but only clueless low IQ sociopaths would vote for Perry over Obama.

  • Perry is a retarded sociopath, Obama isn't doing great at all but only clueless low IQ sociopaths would vote for Perry over Obama.

  • Glad I live in Canada. We don't allow this crazy shit to trickle down to us. Feel bad for my American peeps. :(

  • @markblaster30

    In Canada you allow a separatist Party to be part of your Federal Parliament, how stupid is that??

  • @genie0390 Dude, we have free healthcare where you walk into a hospital or family doctor and pay NOTHING EVER and don't have to wait to see a doc (you guys are lied to about our healthcare, we support gay marriage completely (no one gives a fuck), and we march on parliament to keep our government in line (much like France). You guys should do the same. Have a good day :)

  • @markblaster30

    haha, you sooo funny,.."free healthcare"? eh? so who pays the doctors and pays the costs of maintaining hospitals etc,? money falls from the heavens?

    your 'free" system is not very fair in that the costs are born by most of the young families who work for decades hardly ever needing medical services but pay heavy taxes to support the older people who do. the rich get free care while keeping their wealth to pass onto their children.

    besides your system is in crisis mode

  • @genie0390 OK, well I love my country and think we have it pretty amazing in Canada but thanks for your opinion! Have a great weekend.

  • @genie0390 . "the rich get free care while keeping their wealth to pass onto their children." Not if we tax them adequately.

  • @genie0390 No it is not. And the young pay into the system, so they get taken care of when they get older. Logic: you need it.

  • @genie0390 Hey good comment. It's hard to believe you're able to type and not make too many spelling and grammar errors while you're busy riding Rush Limbaugh's dick AND you have your head buried in bullshit. Nice job.

  • @bigdckrick

    glad that you understand YouTube comments demand perfect grammar, style, spelling

    to be candid you should begin to worry about brain rot

  • @markblaster30. Don't post to genie0390 my fellow Canadian and Torontonian. All they do is come on TYT to spread their racism, fear mongering, insults and lies. genie does that because they can't debate like an adult or backupup what they say with facts. genie doesn't have the balls to show their face or talk to people face to face the way they do on TYT.

  • @cne08 Exactly, just ignore the comments and flag people like genie as spam and move on.

  • @cne08 Hey man, thanks for the heads up, I was like "WTF?" This genie0390 guy takes himself way too serious. Thanks! :)

  • I agree with the guy on the left. It is scary. How can people who don't know at least a general idea of what's going on with any given issue vote on such ignorance? And, for most of those voters, I know the answer. They think they know everything. In my life, I've learned that people who are truly informed and smart know there's always more to learn in life. People who cling to ignorance think they know everything they need to know and don't need to learn anymore. Life IS learning.

  • Let's always keep in mind that Rick Perry did talk actively about Texas seceding from the US. Worse than Bush.

  • Yeah, how dare those liberals mock republicans with their own words!

  • Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

    H. L. Mencken

  • Isn't this almost always the case. I know it right upfront and personal that a lot of people vote Republican are largely uneducated and uninformed. I have friends, acquaintances and family members who fall under such a category. I can't debate anything with them because they: 1) don't know a single thing about what I'm trying to discuss and 2), almost all their views come from their knee-jerk, emotional reaction to issues. I've found there's very little logic supporting their views.

  • Who else would?

  • Uninformed is just another word for STUPID

  • @DRock7977 YEP. And we've got some STUPID ones here in the Lone Star State. But, hey, we do have some smart cookies down here. We've got one of five Pacifica radio stations here (KPFT-Radio for Peace).

  • very well said about te stupidity of the american public...not all,some

  • go ahead liberal little pricks make fun of Perry!

    Obowma without his teleprompter is worse than Bush or Perry

  • @genie0390

    Yeah right. Perry with a teleprompter wouldn't look any smarter than Obama without a teleprompter. The only reason he's likely to win is because like you, those idiot audience lack any brains at all. On the other hand, I guess it might make sense since they could understand that God-awful jibberish. Seriously WTF was that shit?

  • @NaziGOPBallmer

    to be candid Perry didn't look as bad as Obowma in 2008, after pondering a response for several seconds, saying he was going to campaigne in all 57 states

    btw, how did all that hope and change that Obowma was going to deliver work out for us? hey??

  • @genie0390 Genie is a prime example of the 6th grade mentality of the average gop idiot, uses names like obowma and obummer just like a grade schooler, grow up idiot.

  • @SweetCash33

    you forgot "Obeezy" and "Obungles"! actually turnabout is always fair game no matter who is involved

    btw, I didn't vote for obowma, people like you did so tell me who is really the 6th grader that got suckered?

  • @genie0390

    At least I didn't vote for McCain. However, I suggest you spare me your written-in candidate bullcrap. I've seen those crap hundreds of times.

  • I stand corrected. Bush 2.5 needs a recall.

  • Perry is a Bush clone upgrade without the stutter-glitch and bugs. Kill it with fire.

  • As much as I hate to say this, George W. Bush was a dream come true comared to Perry. G.W. hates him and has donated money for campaigns AGAINST him. WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU?

  • @nutblast23

    Dubya will endorse and support Palin's campaign against Perry! Dubya got coaxed by Laura when she FUCKED his PUSSY!

  • If you want a fundamentalist Christian in office, you might as well say "Fuck the Constitution" because they don't believe in the First Amendment AT ALL. Freedom of Speech, they think, is only for Christian Fascist like themselves.

  • @nutblast23 Where in the Constitution does it prevent anyone from being religious, or talking about his faith?

  • I love how so-called conservatives like to point out one group out of a million and use them as the poster child for liberal corruption. Meantime, the Koch Brothers bought at least one Supreme Court justice. Solyndra my ass...

  • I just want to tell TYT that what we love about Cenk, is that he freaks out and loses it when something bothers him and it's awesome. Having 3 guys sit around chatting...fucking boring, I'm sorry, maybe the content is ok, but a little entertainment would be nice.

  • Perry sounds stoned. But him versus Romney is like 2 chimps fighting over a crowbar.

  • So this is it huh folks? These are the Best candidates that you could come up with? ROTFL ROTFL! You're killing me Larry! LOL

  • When are you Bozos going to talk about Solyndra?

    That's the company that received 535 MILLION dollars from Obama...and they were totally corrupt! THEY STOLE 535 MILLION DOLLARS!

    Thanks Obama!

  • @RAMKING61

    Nobody wants to talk about Solyndra..

    And that includes 2 of the top executives who invoked their rights against self-incrimination yesterday before a congressional subcommittee.

    For the liberal left, apparently there is no problem with throwing away $535,000,000.00.

  • @bobbytiger

    Are you adding those two extra zeros at the end for effect? If you want to talk about wasting money we can go back to the $6.6 billion that was lost or stolen in Iraq under Bush and the GOP cronies to crooked contractors and defense-department thieves. And no one has been held accountable. Some of the money is probably in the hands of our enemies. That's $6,600,000,000.00.
