I'll agree with that.

When you start limiting voting rights because you don't think someone "knows enough" you are using subjective criteria which goes completely against the principles this country was supposed to be founded upon.

Who makes that call?

Seriously disturbing. I find that this concept makes me more frightened even than I am apparently supposed to be at the word "socialist" which has been tossed around like some political hacky sack.

I thought that's why women weren't allowed to vote until recently.

Well, we need to discriminate against the right people. Women can't be trusted, you know how emotional they are: kind of throws informed voting out the window.

And black people because they aren't even human. They are dumb anyway, according the test statistics up my ass. No blacks, no women, and screw the irish too just for the hell of it. I have heard they are drunks, and may not vote the way I want them too.

Oh hai..I don't even know what you guys are talking about. lol! Carry on.

I really need you to clarify yourself a bit better than that. I am not going to guess at the connections you are making. Please spell them out.

McCain Backer Attacked, Mutilated in Pittsburgh

Posted Oct 23rd 2008 4:27PM by TMZ Staff

McCainHere's what went down with the McCain/Palin supporter who was allegedly attacked in Pennsylvania last night.

According to Pittsburgh cops, around 9:30 PM last night, a female was robbed after she went to the ATM. The victim says during the robbery, the assailant saw the McCain/Palin sticker on her car and became "enraged." He struck her and knocked her down, and allegedly carved a "B" on her cheek.

The assailant is still at large. Police tell us all they have is a description -- a man, 6'4", with dark skin and dark clothes.

A McCain spokesman confirmed to TMZ the victim volunteered in McCain's Pennsylvania office.

Story developing ...
