Liberals often tell those of us who complain about the creeping crud of welfare socialism that if we don't like the disease affecting America we ought to move. well you knew damn well that living in the cesspool known as DC means you don't get certain voting rights.

And what exactly do you think you do that makes you more deserving of a vote than a bus driver? Or a teacher? Or a librarian? (<< All specific people I know here in the District) Or me?

And why are you so un-American as to want to deny citizens the right to vote?
 
I know this might sound a little radical but I believe you should have to take a basic test to vote.........

Questions like:

How many Branches of Gov. are there

How many SCOTUS justices are there.

Who is the Sec of State.

Basic questions about our government........You fail you don't vote............

Good thing we did away with testing meant to disenfranchise voters around 50 years ago. I know... the civil rights movement really sucked for the conservative movement.

I'm pretty sure the right does the same when it comes to you know... issues that matter to them. You don't believe in the war in Iraq? Move to Somalia why don'tcha.

I am sure that those that vote that way want to believe they are not throwing their vote away, as well as believe they are not at all responsible for who we end up with.

I'm certainly not responsible for who we end up with. That's on the rest of you dumbasses. I already see the system for what it is, broken and manipulated. I can't force you to stop playing into that, all I can do is not lemming myself off that same cliff. If you wanna say I’m “throwing my vote away”, then whatever, it’s a free country. But it’s my vote and I’ll do with it as I like, piss off.

More than memorization, we need a good IQ test. If you're not a classic academic, you can't vote. No dumb people f'n us over so much.

Think of it this way, if I leave and don't pay taxes, you don't get paid to play Mississippi Burning anymore.

Why don't you have a "right to vote"? Seems to me that was set up long before you moved there or I was born

What are you whining about now? If people like me all moved away, many people who are like you would starve to death

did you know that more Americans can tell you the two finalists of whatever was the last American Idol than can name the two federal senators from their own home state?

Not that a DC resident gets anything remotely close to the voting power of anyone else in this country...

I'm all for DC voting rights, but this is about the Presidential election, not Congressional representation. DC residents do in fact get electoral votes when it comes time to vote for the President.
 
Romney only because I don't want Obama to appoint 4 more judges. Then again if Obama polls remarkably well in California I'll just vote for Gary Johnson.

Three,nine, Clinton.......and so what??...This knowledge means nothing.

How many of the current legislators are able to pass any kind of IQ test ?

Yes, because voting the status quo all these years has worked so well for us.

There has been a 3rd party in every election since the fifties and they have not won squat..........Sadly Perot in 92 took the presdidency away from BHWB.

I hate it when the election comes down to trivial things, but somehow "Hail to the Chief, Chiefgator" just doesn't sound very presidential.

Sure would be nice if Obama and his team worked on fixing the nation, instead of using mostly out of context sound bites to attack others.

Hell, he hasn't worked on fixing the nation in 3+ years, so why start now...
