The idea is rediculous. Any law abiding citizen has the right to vote. I'm sure a lot of otherwise intelligent people vote for bad candidates. What I am in favor of is repealing the right to vote from people with differing opinions from me.
points: 1. i live in the smartest state in the union. (edit, nevermind i notice connecticut is smartest, and i made a mistake. a connecticut person would never have made such a dumb mistake.) 2. i dont favor iq tests, but i favor race based admission to polls. blacks clearly shouldnt vote, and neither should mexicans. only whites. and not russians and slavs or whatever either, those are the darkies of the white race. i mean only western europeans of german and english decent, people like me. also japanese if they arent too slanty eyed. actually i guess i effectively am saying i favor iq tests.
Citizenship itself should entitle one to vote. Intelligence merely entitles one to vote intelligently. Your basic dumbazz should have a right to vote if he works and pays taxes. Even the unemployed should be able to vote if they are not criminals and otherwise exercise the responsibilities of a citizen. Felons should not be able to vote, for they are scumbags. Profoundly retarded people, unable to tend for themselves should not be able to vote, lest false votes be placed for them. And the English and German descendants of Vikings should be given two votes, of course.
i forgot to mention that although jews are very smart they should not vote, because jews are dirty and scheming. so you do favor iq tests, you just favor setting the bar very low. only the smart can vote eh? whats next, hitler?
Well, that's a pretty sweeping generalization. Many felons have done things no worse than some of the things that you have, they just had worse luck. Does that make them 'scum?' Thanks!
An increasing percentage of Americans are in some way dependent on Uncle Sam. That's a major part of our great divide and why Bush was reelected. Thankfully, there are still more independent, self-reliant, individuals in America than there are titty-suckers. But eventually, if the trend continues, the scale will tip, and when that happens there will probably never be another conservative elected President; and this once great nation will spiral down the crapper. ....so, all people receiving government welfare should not be allowed to vote. Their continued support will be soley at the discretion/generosity of those who are capable and willing.
Good point. LBJ's great society could one day payoff big time. I'm sure he probably didn't think of that concept but it seems he was doing a little bit of campaigning for the future.
