Lurking Fear:

... West is the worst kind of stupid- the kind that yel;ls and screams and insults anyone who disagrees with him.



How far away is this from every other republican these days?

The voting process is perfect. As long as we control it and can get away with giving you our pre-determined outcome.

For a guy who's lived off the taxpayers all his life, West sure does seem a little sensitive about "entitlement".

Conservatives these days basically feel as though unless you are walking into the polling location on election day with your photo ID in hand, your vote is fraudulent.

I guess I shouldn't expect anything less from the paranoid pants-shiatters who constantly think they are under attack by terrorists, criminals, communists, marxists, liberals, cannibals, witches, demons, and George Soros.

Something modern Americans refuse to understand: voting was intended by the Founding Fathers as a privilege, not a right. Given how awful things have become in this country, it's clear we've extended that privilege way too far. We need to cull the voting pool, and we need to do it now.

We get it. He's black.

Republicans are legislating fascism, why is anyone surprised that they want to slowly take away your right to vote.

Why is it only those who have served seem to understand this?

Honest answer? Marketing.

Nowhere does the Constitution refer to voting as a "right." The Founding Fathers left who was allowed to vote up to the states, and they certainly felt free to deny the franchise as they saw fit.

Allen West is a disgrace.

Good old Uncle Allen....

Should have been tossed in a loony bin after claiming he knows of 80 communist party members in congress.

Next time I get elected to Congress, I'm going to propose a bill disenfranchising all individuals who have ever used the login of Baz744 on a website whose URL is http://www.fark.com from voting.

JerseyTim: I blame Alan Grayson for this. Way to campaign like an asshole, asshole.

Wrong district. Grayson lost to this guy:



From Wiki -

Webster was a central figure in the Terri Schiavo case which involved a dispute between relatives on whether to remove the feeding tube of an unconscious woman who had been in a persistent vegetative state for years. In March 2005, he introduced SB 804 that would have prohibited such patients from being denied food and water if family members disagreed on the patient's wishes and if the patient had not expressed his wishes in writing when competent. The bill failed to pass the Senate by three votes.

Diogenes: Even back in the day, one of the delegates argued that voting should be restricted to people who had $100,000 in wealth. In 1780s dollars!

Wait. Are you trying to say that the signers of the Constitution weren't in 100% agreement and Jesus didn't just hand them the document?

or even competent.

Who am I kidding, West is the worst kind of stupid- the kind that yel;ls and screams and insults anyone who disagrees with him.

perfect for the average Floridian retiree.

Are you sure he's not a librul?

'Voting is a privilege' and 'The Constitution only applies to citizens' are 2 of my favorite right wing talking points.

Democrats.
/or that's what it'll boil down to

Damn that Bill of Rights for making us think of things like Due Process and Freedom of Speech are entitled to us! We should all just know our place and grovel as we are beaten.

And what about air? Why are we supposed to think we are entitled to breathe?

Honestly, I think we should reconsider whether people without skin in the game--people with no substantial property or earned income--should be allowed to vote.

Other than that, people who aren't smart enough to overcome the bureaucracy involved with getting a driver's license, for one. Also, people who can't pass certain basic citizenship tests.

You are a true Republican and correct. The Constitution proper only allows male land owners the right to vote....which is what the GOP wants to revert to.
