Hey, to jump in here. callandor1000 Send a noteboard - 18/04/2012 04:12:15 AM
Anybody that has taken more than $1000 dollars in welfare in the last year should forfeit their right to vote for members of congress.

You can have your social safety net, but you shouldn't have the power to vote for people who determine the nation's finances, people who can grant pork to those welfare queens.

Now people that took $1000 dollars or more should be allowed to vote for president since the president has no direct influence on the budget of the US, just the ability to veto. The president is important for he has a massive control over foreign policy, bureaucracy, and nominates people to the supreme court. Those issues affect welfare queens as much as true americans.


I would be on board with this. Except I do have a major issue. There are those who receive more than that, who need it, and are working to not need it anymore. I know that number is small but it is existent. My issue with welfare isn't that people get it. Or even that some of them get it for a long time. It's that people get it who have no intention of not needing it eventually. That group of people does seem to be the majority of them. I work in an environment where I see that all the time. But there are some few who try to get out of it and those people should be allowed to vote completely should they choose to vote.

Your mom. That's right. The cat is out of the bag. Your mom.

My mind isn't always in the gutter, it just has VIP access

Why is it ironic? Isaac - 09/04/2012 09:54:10 PM 490 Views

The League of Women Voters, for one Isaac - 10/04/2012 08:50:39 PM 344 Views
Well, that is simply ridiculous then, and merits no consideration. Joel - 10/04/2012 11:53:04 PM 442 Views
To play Devil's Advocate, there's some legitimacy to the concept Isaac - 11/04/2012 04:24:37 AM 390 Views
Sounds like people deliberately missing the point more than anything. Joel - 11/04/2012 07:45:40 AM 424 Views

Fair Enough, my 'memory' is mostly google based on this anyway, from about a year ago and now Isaac - 11/04/2012 04:00:57 AM 405 Views
Stating something doesn't make it true Isaac - 10/04/2012 04:10:33 AM 382 Views
I'm impressed that you wrote so much in reply Larry - 10/04/2012 04:36:02 AM 350 Views
Then demonstrate that by having the courtesy to rebut it or withdraw your remarks Isaac - 10/04/2012 06:30:52 AM 403 Views
How long voting takes is a function of machines, not voters. Joel - 10/04/2012 02:08:39 PM 418 Views
It's a function of various factors, that can certainly be one Isaac - 10/04/2012 08:12:08 PM 371 Views

The fact that it's possible doesn't mean it's widespread, nor that every countermeasure is justified *NM* Tim - 10/04/2012 11:57:16 AM 148 Views
As long as people need not purchase their voting requirements, voter IDs are fine by me. Joel - 10/04/2012 12:53:35 PM 429 Views
It's frightening when I agree with you. Tom - 10/04/2012 02:52:23 PM 348 Views
