“Perry-pimpopnistas”

I have to say that the quality of the discourse here on FReerepublic have declined since I joined 8 years ago.

I am conservative to the degree that I think one of the foundations of the successful American Experiment after 1776 was the wisdom of the founding fathers not to grand the right of vote to any “yahoo” with an opinion - as well as the wisdom to let these “yahoos” alone in their pursuit of their own happiness.

People complain about the lack of quality candidates, quality politicians....

I am afraid that the people are getting just what they want and what they deserve. Or should that be peoplepnopisas.

Sadly...

I agree, limited federal government and limited direct voting vs. land owners voting. When we went to allowing non land owners and direct election of senators we really hurt the original founding fathers plans.
