Let's see --- My first vote was in 1980 - I was in college and still lived at home. I moved into an apartment, in another state, in 1982 when I got out of school. I moved back into an apartment when I got divorced in 1988. I bought my first house in 1992, my second, in yet again another state in 2003. In late 2009 I broke down and applied for food stamps, when after more than a year my husband and I could not get regular work and every penny we were making was going to keep the roof over our head and the power on and food in our daughter's belly and clothes on her ever growing back. It was damned hard for me to do that.
That first vote I cast was for Ronald Reagan and in all the ensuing years I have served on my local GOP committees, including serving as an officer more than once and delegate to the state GOP convention 8 years running. I've been a FReeper in good standing and have participated in my fair share of FReeps. I've worked at the grass roots level since before I ever even heard of the internet.........
And you're all for straight up voter disenfranchisement of me.
Thanks.
Yes I am! If we can keep 10 drones for voting for every College Republican I would be happy with that outcome. As far as your scenario, you being on foodstamps, damn right you should not be able to vote. I think if Washington and Jefferson were alive today they would agree with me. There is not even a debate that people on public assistance OVWERWHELMINGLY vote liberal, so sorry you were proud, poor and Conservative, we can't trust you in the polling place to do the right thing.
