Two year olds can eat, crap and die. Why not let THEM vote too?

It’s the commie way. Get ‘em while they’re young, stupid and retarded. Once they grow up, they won’t be voting for communist pigs like this “supervisor”.

I still enjoy Wild in the Streets, and another movie of his that I got a kick out of back then was, “Three in the Attic”.

Voting should be for land owners, but then they would be selling land by the inch.

Maybe just make a min of 33-years of age, and literate in the Constitution.

Don’t DISENFRANCHISE the people who are not conceived yet! If any Democrat says they plan to have children, they should be issued ballots for the number they plan to have.

But ONLY DEMOCRATS get this bonus vote.

Otherwise, you're racist.
