“Even with this knowledge, Dianne Wilkerson’s constituents would vote her back into office tomorrow if they could.
The only thing worse than a corrupt Massachusetts politician is a Massachusetts voter.”
Certainly they would vote her back in, just like the Harlem voter put Charlie Rangel back in.
It’s a black thing, you wouldn’t understand.
I still think a current events test is needed before you're allowed to vote. People should see voting as a privilege to be earned rather than a right to be abused. I also wouldn't have a problem with requiring that you pay income taxes or own property as a condition of voting, either.
