You want to take away the right of woman and African-Americans and poor people to vote?

I was referencing women,the landless, and those under 21, obviously the Founding fathers were against these groups voting for obvious reasons.

These groups didn't have the vote until the last 80 years or so, they have given us Roosevelt 3 times, Kennedy, Clinton twice, Gore the popular vote, and now Obama is the Democrat nominee.

It may be too late to take away their right to vote but it is certainly OK for Conservatives to understand and talk about why their country is going to hell.

uhhh....right. And before they got the vote, we got Jefferson, Jackson, Van Buren, and the corrupt, forgettable presidents of the gilded age. Of course, we also got Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.

After they got the vote, we got Nixon, Eisenhower, Reagan, and both Bushes. It’s pretty much a wash.

Meanwhile, the poor actually tend to vote Republican (check your stats); 18-21 year olds barely vote in any numbers that matter; you might have a point about women, but to say they shouldn’t vote is asinine.
