Best thing we could do to would be to go back to the original concept of
only property owners being able to vote ... but damn would that **** off
the politicians and lobbyist.

This idealistic "right of everyman to vote" will prove to be the root
factor in the eventual downfall of this country.

Sad, but true.

Bull, giving political power only to those with wealth is repugnant, you
couldn't come up with something that would make politicians and lobbyists
happier. *The ability of the people to throw morons and crooks out of office
is one of the few things that keep the *******s in line.

Are you going to tell a youth who volunteers to risk his life serving his
country in uniform that he doesn't get to vote because he doesn't have any
property? *If the mill closes and people lose their jobs and their homes
should that result in them losing the vote? *Do you seriously propose that
citizens who rent apartments are inherently entitled to fewer rights than
people who own houses?

No offense, but that is one lameass idea.

Tell that to your founding fathers, who first instituted the practice.

I didn't say I liked it, I said what the idealism inherent in the "right
to vote for "everyman"" would result in ... in practice it will lead to
the eventual decline of this country.

Look around you ... the country is in decline, it is happening before
your very eyes, although many are too blind or ignorant to see it,
mainly due to the **** poor educational system foisted upon us by the
very concept itself ...

The reluctance to accept it as being at the root of the phenomenon is
understandable, but it will one day be as obvious as the nose on your
face. Count on it.

Again, sad, but true ...

I'm still a proponent of proportional representation. I mean, a
district sends a Libtard or a Repuglican to parliament who was elected
with a 1% margin and the other 49% have no representation whatsoever.
There are countries where that seems to work okay. I think Sweden is
one and look what happen to that crop of babes.... waitasec..did my
brain just make a turn?
