the reason the public is so 'woefully uninformed' is simple: they don't care about politics.
the idea that they are too poor/busy to follow politics is nonsense. they aren't too poor or busy to follow american idol or the real housewives of new jersey. if people spent their free time studying rather than browsing facebook or watching reality tv, they could very well get informed. most normal people find politics to be boring and toxic hence, they don't spend a lot of time on it.

Ana, I have never wanted to bang someone up the ass as I want you. I love you Ana! You are the reason I went through puberty. I would kiss every inch of your body everyday!!!! I love you!
UHHHH... talking about Ron Paul made the conversation BORING??? I actually started paying attention to this segment when you mentioned the potential viability of a Ron Paul candidacy. Sorry, but talking about million dollar house ownership is boring.. not discussing presidential candidates.
Cenk admitting Ron Paul is the best of the GOP candidates, but then kind of brushing his statement under the rug. "Ron Paul is the best of the Republicans, SO I GUESS MITT ROMNEY IS SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE. LET'S TALK ABOUT ROMNEY NOW." I'm not accusing TYT of being "Establishment" or anything, it's just kind of ironic that even someone who views him as the most agreeable presidential candidate will ignore him in favor of those who represent the status quo (Romney).
Studies show some of the best presidents in U.S history have been unstable mentally or had some kind of disorder, and some of the worst presidents have been calm docile people. So maybe Ron Paul wouldn't be so bad, just crazy fuck we need right now.
You guys should have Governor Buddy Roemer (R-LA) on your show. His main campaign theme is getting the money out of politics. He does not except any PAC money (the only candidate in the race who refuses to do so). You guys have mentioned all the GOP presidential candidates except for him. I know he has no chance of winning but he the one bright voice in a field filled with clowns.
I don't know much about Roemer, but that sounds commendable. We would get rid of a lot of corruption when we get rid of special interest money in politics.
One reason why people don't riot is because the political environment is so heavily divided. You can't go out on the streets to protest what the government does, because you aren't representing the people as a whole. Sure the government pees the (poor) right wingers to the windshield so hard that the rear lights get wet too, but they don't know that, and would counter protest. No matter what the government does and how strongly you feel about it, it's just your personal opinion at this point.
Romney can go because he doesn't have to be in Washington tending to business which is where Obama should be most of the time.
