An Unending Supply of Republican Morons

The reasons Republicans give for repealing ACA continue to pummel the brain. Here's an example from Texas. I hope this sort of stupidity is not infectious. How can elected representatives be so uninformed? There should be a test. I took an on-line civics test a couple of days ago along with a number of my friends. As I looked over the results, I noticed that elected officials performed far worse on the test that ordinary citizens--and I mean far worse. Since when has ignornace become a prerequisite for public office and what does it say about those of us who elect them?
