Only land owners should be allowed to vote.
Every American citizen has the right to vote.
Alzheimer patients get to sign up...Sick....but you know it is happening.
One should only be able to vote where one pays taxes.
If you don’t pay Fed taxes then you should be barred from voting in Federal elections.
If you don’t pay taxes in the state , you must not be allowed to vote in that state.
If the poor can’t vote, then I’m out.
If only land owners can vote, I’m out.
I’m DAMN sure not a Democrat, and I DAMN sure for conservatives. Why take my vote out? Yes, I understand the reason, but c’mon!
Yet the clear conflict of interest, over Federal entitlements, makes it mandatory that we reexamine this, before the worst prophesies of our future come home to roost. (See Universal Suffrage--Threat To Freedom.) The present debt crisis is directly attributable to allowing people to elect parasites who will feather their respective nests, rather than serve the intended Constitutional purpose of providing an economic environment that brings out the best, rather than the absolute worst, in the individual citizen.
If you receive an unearned benefit from the Federal Government, there ought to be an appropriate cut-off of voting rights for a period comparable to that in which your conflict of interest is apparent, plus two years--or some such..

Stupid article...oh my God the poor get to vote!
Ring wing organizations should be registering the poor too, duh!
20+ million illegal aliens are in effect prospective democrats..
Anyone for amnesty or anything like amnesty is FOR more democrats..
i.e. Perry, Romney, Juan McLame.. (BUSH{all of them})
I don’t mind non-tax-paying non-land-owning people voting, what I do mind is them voting themselves money not just out of the treasury but out of the national credit card _and_ voting to raise the credit limit. THIS IS INSANE.
it isn’t un-american but it may be anti-american. the democrat party is not un-american but it is anti-american. OTOH the CBC is un-american, anti-american, and recist.
Read this thread entirely.
We may defeat Obama in 2012, but we are screwed unless something changes. Obamama is a problem, but not the problem. The problem is the lowest common denominator electorate that elected a Marxist rabble rouser with no governing/business experience.
The democrats can always import illegal voters at a faster rate than we can create working, responsible citizens. They have the demographics on their side.
Unless those non-working citizens who receive govt. free money are denied the vote, they will vote for whomever buys their vote.
We need to absolutely verify if voters are citizens and eligible to vote. Obviously there are too many locales and election offices (sanctuary cities) that believe citizenship is irrelevant to rights.
Additionally I don’t trust politicians of EITHER party. Both will, given the opportunity, attempt to circumvent our election system, especially now that we have hackable voting machines with out an audit trail. Once either Party thinks they have the ability to usurp the people’s vote, God help us.
We need a third and fourth Party to keep the other two honest. That’s why purchasing agents always want and need at least 3 vendors to prevent collusion.
A paper ballot that has no ambiguity and that can be counted and recounted and stored for posterity is a better option. Forget the need to get an immediate result for the media. We can use an absentee ballot but they are only counted when the electronic voting outcome is very close. Only if we all used absentee ballots would it make a difference.
