Well, this isn't exactly a matter of intelligence, but a long time ago, you had to own property to vote. The founding fathers did that intentionally: They wanted the voters to be people who had a stake in the government--that is, people who actually cared.

So, people shouldn't be allowed to vote if they rent instead own? That is not the way we do things now.

One problem with modern elections--on both partisans--is that they just get van loads of people who don't give a crap to go out and vote for them. If you don't care enough to get registered yourself, to go to vote yourself, then you shouldn't complain if your guy doesn't get elected.



Well, since I did register myself way back when I was 18 and have voted in almost every election, including this last one and I drive to the polls myself, I have every right to complain. And unfortunatly giving crap isn't a constitutional requirement either. Though it would be nice if more people did give a crap.

I don't believe there is anything in the Constitution about needing to be smart in order to vote.


having to wait in line 9 hours in ridiculous. It is inexcusable that they could so unprepared. I could understand having to wait an hour because of larger than expected turn out, but 9 hours!!!?!!!! How the !#$%##$ does that happen!?!

When you say "you believe it to be fake" that makes it sound like you're giving it some semblance of credence or validity. That is why we questioned if you actually watched it because anybody who watches it knows... that's all there is to it.



I feel so stupid now.......
