"Just think -- if we had retained the criteria to vote that our founders WISELY implemented, there would be no Democrat party as we know it today... "
Under the Founder's original Constitution -- not all were entitled to vote...
There was some "criteria"....
Our Founder's Constitution required the 19th Amendment to give women the right to vote, and it required the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to outlaw slavery, grant citizenship to former slaves and children born in America and to grant them the votes...
I still maintain - that under the FOUNDER's Constitution we wouldn't have the current Leftist "Democrat" party -- whose primary base is women, blacks and recent immigrants - both legal and illegal as is apparent....and they are now voting.
