“Kind of sobering to think everyone who votes for Obama is either a “useful idiot” or an enemy to the American way of life.”

Well, the “Useful idiots” have finally figured out that they actually do not pay any taxes and if they vote for Obama they will receive a “free” $1,000 check, plus “free” medical benefits, plus “free” mortgages, etc, etc. What has changed is that until recently these people did not realize they don't pay taxes. Those who work, just took their W-2’s to H&R Block or some such place and their taxes would be calculated, including their so called “Earned Income Tax Credit” and they got money back. They never bothered to study the calculus of all this. So, they were blind to the fact that they are the recipients of negative taxes. Anyway, now with the Earned Income Tax Credit plus Obama’s new check of $1,000 or so, these people will receive about $3,000 in hand-outs on their next tax return. Is this a great country or what....

You just described my neighbor. She has her kids wearing Obama 08 buttons and chanting his name any time a political discussion springs up.

This is why I believe the right to vote should be restricted to those who pay taxes, own businesses, are veterans, or likewise have shown that they have a stake in society.
