Hillary is the biggest proof yet that our government representatives should not be chosen by just anyone who happens to make it to the voting booth.
Voting is a privilege and should be taken seriously. Personally I think there should be a difficult civics test administered when registering and all who cannot pass, cannot vote.

Voting is a privilege and should be taken seriously. No, voting is a right not a privilege. I think you are getting confused with driver's licenses... but that's understandable with the "Motor Voter" laws.

"...Personally I think there should be a difficult civics test administered when registering and all who cannot pass, cannot vote..." Own a home, or a business, have an honorable discharge from the service, etc.?
You may vote.
Homeless, retarded, no property, no speaka da English, etc.?
You have no stake, and no business voting.

Sorry...but that advice in NOT constitutional. While we all may like it...and wish we could amend it to read as such...it is not currently constitutional and an ammendment such as that will never be passed. So...while it is a nice hypothetical suggestion...it has no basis in reality or constitution.
