The Tea Party knows no shame

Tea Party Nation President Judson Phillips hosted the program and discussed changes that he felt should be made to voting rights in the United States. He explained that the founders of the country originally put "certain restrictions on who gets the right to vote." He continued, "One of those was you had to be a property owner. And that makes a lot of sense, because if you're a property owner you actually have a vested stake in the community ... I'm sorry but property owners have a little bit more of a vested interest in the community than non-property owners"

Can you say aristocracy kids?

I actually got into an argument with a guy who was making a case for an aristocracy.

every time I saw him over the next 3 months I wanted to stab him in the neck.

fortunately I don't have to see him anymore.

What the hell. they really aren't even trying to hide it anymore.

How about this, instead; if you want to own property, you are required to vote.

Was there ever a limit as to how little property you had to have in order to be eligible to vote?

Could you buy one square foot on the side of some hill, and that would work?

Would a timeshare count? Would you only be able to vote when it was your week to have it?

[Nephew Twiddleton]

Translation:

People who own property aren't  Socialists so in order to get those pesky Socialists out of the way, take the vote away from a vast segment of the population who live in, oh I dunno, apartments or what have you.

What happens if you live with your parents until the age of 24 and then get an apartment? Do you lose voting rights until you buy a house?

Good question.

What the fucking hell?

We have to do what the framers set out to do. We must also make it so that you can only vote if you're white, male, over the age of 23, and are not a slave or indentured servant.

Yep. Because that's what makes a representative republic.

[Adios]

 

It just keeps getting better.

[Bruno]

How about a just a mayonnaise jar full of dirt?

Or even a salt shaker? Salt is a kind of dirt.

[Don Coyote]

While we are at it, lets only let white males over the age of 21 vote.

Fucking tea baggers. I should tea bag some of them.

You only have yourself to blame.

I'm getting the point where I want to troll each and every Tea Bagger I see, no matter how normally nice to me they are, no matter where they are.

You should show them the errors of their ways. This is some good evidence for that.
