You make it sound convincing with that inane statement Woodley.

Both sides have less intelligent members ..it's just that the left has way more of them.

Liberals do have members that are smart, academia for example...but they have zero wisdom.

Being smart and having wisdom are two different things.

You have no wisdom Woodley.

Not at all woody. As a matter of fact the academic class seems to lean to the left. I would say that even though there are plenty of morons on the right a big and monolithic block of the Democratic voters are the poor African American and Hispanic community. The stupid hillbillies, or as logic can tell you pillbillies, are not so universally right wing. The do include a fair amount of racist idiots but also a big big bunch who hate the Republicans who would suggest cutting down on welfare benefits and disability approval.

(and as much as the man made global warming debate makes you feel superior, hardly anybody cares. Sorry.)

Well, I'm still for a weighted voting system. Require an exam both you vote. Topics like include US History, World History, current events, how our govt works, some math and science, etc. The higher you score the more your vote counts.

Make study material and practice exams free for the public. Put them in public libraries and places like that.

Liberal enough for ya?

I used to work with a guy who was a scammer and a hustler. He told me him and his wife would go to the grocery store and spend about $200 on an order. Before they checked out, he would call this crack whore up who would come to the store and meet him. They would check out using her food stamps. ($200 worth). When they got outside He would give the whore $100 for the food.

What a scam.

Poor minorities aren't the only group of ill informed voters. I'd imagine dome rednecks down south could give them a run for their lack of money

Do you mean the Contstitution as originally not totally ratified, using original intent?

Or what the Constitution "says" after 227 years of SCOTUS interpretations?

You can't tell me that people go without an ID for any of those things but still have proper documentation to even receive government assistance.

You should have to present ID to vote and to use the food stamp card. Voter fraud is a big issue in the coal field counties in WV every election.

You shouldn't be able to force people to present ID for things like voting and food stamps etc...*unless* the ID is issued centrally for free. I'm renewing my passport currently, it costs about £100. Ridiculous, but I'll pay it anyway because I travel - if I'm on food stamps, maybe it's not something I consider a necessity.

A passport or food to eat????

@diehardbrownsfan said:

It's a HARDSHIP, Die, don't you get it?

Why don't some states even make it necessary to show some form of ID before being allowed in the voting booth?

I suspect things such as Entitlements equaling votes has to get factored in somewhere.

so it only bothers you if crazy conservatives are allowed to vote? Or what exactly? Would it bother you if those crazed queer stoning masses were too stupid to find identification and therefore unable to vote?

also I'm guessing if you were smart enough to sign up for welfare you were smart enough to grab an ID card right?

WSS

I'm not sure how you weren't able to understand "It's about allowing everyone to vote" but ok. It doesn't bother me that crazy conservatives are allowed to vote because they are people, so they are allowed to vote (with a few exceptions). Their political ideologies might bother me, but their right to vote is inalienable.

I have a driving license, so no issue when signing up for welfare. You are required to have your national insurance number (like social security - this is issued to everyone at age 16); and some ID. Apparently, this can be passport, driving license, credit card, debit card, medical card, age ID card, work ID card, club membership card.

So, plenty of ways to get ID, not an issue for me.

That's why it bothers the right, and why it's open to abuse, which is what bothers the left. It's about allowing everyone to vote, from ultra-conservative Arizona pastors wanting to stone faggots, to single mothers of seven who have never worked a day in their lives and live off the government.
