I picked the single issue voter.

Many of these candidates pick up on those issues simply to distract from their agenda, whether they support or are against them.

The non-voter might as well be a non-citizen so is irrelevant.

Look, I'm no fan of the uninformed or single voter, but for my money, every American who has the right to but doesn't vote fails Patriotism 101.

If you are uninformed then you should not vote. If you believe they should, let's let every kid or chimp walk up and press a red or blue button. You wouldn't want your average joe voting on whether some new medical procedure is safe, so why do you want someone who knows almost nothing about the candidates to vote for a leader?

How would you know who was qualified to vote or not? I would think that it would be a nearly impossible task.

How do you determine if someone is qualified to cut you open and operate? Plain and simple, you educate and test them. Would you vote on new hires at your work without a pretty good look at their resumes? If no, then why would you vote on presidential candidates without looking at theirs? If you don't want to read through the resumes then you're not going to be selected for the hiring board.

How would you test everyone who votes? Do you realize how expensive and time consuming that would be?
 
Not voting doesn't make him a crappy American IYO, Mags?

Sure does in mine.

When you have no one to vote for who represents your beliefs, and when you only have two realistic choices who both represent everything you abhor, why on earth would you vote for either?

Well, one way is you SHOW UP! People who don't show up to vote obviously are unqualified to.

I'm sure that lots of people who are NOT really qualified show up to vote too.
 
that doesn't make my point any less valid? so what was yours?

My other post was referring to someone who suggested that we make sure everyone who votes is qualified to do so and I asked him how we would we go about doing that, and you said one way would be that if people didn't show up that wouldn't be qualified. Then I said but so what, because there would still be unqualified people that DO show up to vote. Are you following me? :lol:
 
the uninformed no doubt. They literally make me wanna bash my head against a wall

I do follow you, however, registration does indeed eliminate unqualified voters... anything else I've heard is speculative and possibly infringes on our rights as Free-Born Americans/

Oh yes, I know. I was playing along with someone's idea but not seriously.
 
It could be I don'tlive in the U.S., but I have actually heard a fair bit about Romney's religious peculiar beliefs.

Back to the original question though, I can't stand single issue voters. IMO, they are the least informed and vot anyway.

It's a bloody shame when I realize my vote is simply offsetting the vote of some idiot who votes for Obama simply because he's (partly) black. I hate democracy when knowledge is vital but a voter's level of knowledge is disregarded, which is most scenarios.
