Vote For A Change

Sergio Said:

Shouldn't some people just not be allowed to vote? Shouldn't this just b/c your a citizen you can vote change?

We Answered:

It sounds like the consensus is that we need a better educated electorate. Some of you said as much, and others served as evidence that we don't have that now.

The fact is, THERE IS NO RIGHT TO VOTE IN FEDERAL ELECTIONS. States can limit the right to vote in any number of ways. The various constitutional ammendments only say that they CANNOT limit voting based on age (over 18), sex, race, or failure to pay a poll tax. If a state chooses to exclude felons, or the unemployed, they can.

I would settle for proof that you paid taxes (not just filing, but actually paying). that would eliminate much of the lower class that collect more federal money than they contribute. It might encourage them to contribute more to society. It would also do a lot to curb the sense of entitlement in the voters today.

Amber Said:

Has your vote for President changed after the Bailout Bill became law?

We Answered:

Yup. I am now voting third party. I have lost all faith in this government.

Mitchell Said:

Now that Palin has been found guilty of corruption, has your vote CHANGE-d?

We Answered:

I love all the Republican responses here. It is the equivalent to putting your fingers in your ear and going "La la la la". Say goodbye to the crappy unregulated Capitalist free market. This is a good end to the day.

Betty Said:

Why would anyone vote for [more of the same] John McCain? Obama is going to bring CHANGE!?

We Answered:

Of course he will, my daddy says he will make us all equal, equally poor.

Freddie Said:

Will your vote change because of the remarks/assessment of tv pundits regarding last night's debates ?

We Answered:

It all comes back to the dumbing down of America. The Washington insiders have come to believe that we are too stupid to know what is good for us and what is not. So, they pay people to sit around and discuss it and tell us what we should think about it. I for one have a brain and am pretty sure that every other American of voting ability does too. I'm pretty sure we are smart enough to listen to what they are saying and come to our own conclusions.

It is kind of comedic to watch them sometimes though!

Arthur Said:

When did the right to vote change to being mandatory?

We Answered:

Yet, you'll probably b**** about the bailout.

Naomi Said:

Will the Vagina Vote change this election?!?

We Answered:

as woman i would hope other women vote the mind not their gender no matter who it is they are picking.it would be foolish for anyone who supported hillary to go for palin as palin i the anti hillary and maybe even the antichrist(the debates still open on that).and i think the boost mcshame got from palin is long gone . it seems like every time she opens her mouth he loses a point in the polls.so i think they have realised the difference

Discuss It!
