Considering that my high-functioning artistic son complete 3 different Citizenship badges (community, nation, world) on his way to Eagle Scout, I’d say he’s more qualified than 95% of the voters out there...

The left is composed of two parts.. those that want to rule over others and those that want to be ruled...
The nanny states must have citizen that will behave like children. .no children no nanny no nanny no children. .and we are stuck in the middle of their sick S&M relationship
People with disabilities do vote. I’m sure every spouse of someone with alzheimers “helps” their spouse vote. My mother did this for my father in the last election. Her rationale: how could we take away Dad’s right to vote? He always voted. And he wouldn’t have voted for Obama. So she took him into the booth and helped him. He didn’t have too much of a clue and was happy.
I kind of feel weird about it. But when your spouse is sick you try so hard to give him a good life and let him do as much as he can do, so these spouses will not rip away the right to vote from these guys. It usually takes help from the kids even to get the dangerous CAR KEYS away.
I don’t know what to say about the disabled. For every person who looks normal but could never fathom the seriousness of a vote, there is someone with someone like cerebral palsy in a wheelchair yet with perfect rational intelligence. And should be given assistance to vote.
I do not want to be the judge over who is mentally able to vote. Maybe a fair way to do it is to allow every person a single aide to help them vote. An aide can only help ONE voter. Period. The aide signs up when the person votes. Therefore one person can’t help more than one person. Maybe the relationship to the person is stated, as well.
This can’t be right — Obama won the last election. The Dems are in charge of the Senate. So the mentally disabled surely are voting.
in our state the mentally disabled have social workers who “vote their interests.”
The dems want the union thugs in nursing homes to be able to vote on behalf of the alzheimers patients
“my high-functioning artistic son”
Certainly this was a typo. Artistic types actually don’t function very highly, lol.
Thanks for sharing, and good for your son - who I must assume you meant is autistic.
This is another reason Dems want to unionize care providers.
Free union dues and brownshirts guaranteed to look the other way.
yeah, fat fingers on a small keypad+ spell check and small screen..
“Artistic” should be “Autistic”. Great kid - starting his own business since the BHOconomy sux.
And he does have a talent for drawing, so “artistic” actually fits. to a degree.
