In all seriousness, my mom and sis voting for the conservative candidate I tell them to vote for is not the issue. :-)

My business partner said something that was completely un-PC a while back. It’s heresy to libs. Others have brought it up in this thread.

He pointed out that the founding fathers only gave the right to vote to landowners and tax payers (blah, blah, they were white men, yadda yadda...cue ACLU and ACORN outrage).

I dismissed it out of hand as outrageous. Than I thought about it.

He and the founders were right.

If you don’t pay taxes and have no skin in the game, why should you get to vote?

This is how we end up with inner city Democratic machines bribing homeless crack addicts, welfare mothers by the busload with a reward of Big Macs and a pack of smokes to vote the dem party line like the card said.

“”If you don’t pay taxes and have no skin in the game, why should you get to vote?”

“”This is how we end up with inner city Democratic machines bribing homeless crack addicts, welfare mothers by the busload with a reward of Big Macs and a pack of smokes to vote the dem party line like the card said.””

And the way to cure this is to have discussions about whether the women’s vote killed the Nation?

Or would it be better to build up conservative men and women, and educate the weaker voters?
