		<description>Allow me to toss this one into the mix:  What about allowing retarded adults to vote?  They do in my state.
They are allowed &quot;assistance&quot; in the voting booth.</description>

		<description>What is getting overlooked is that renters do actually pay property taxes---through their landlords.  I own my home but I still see it this way.

Send every GD illegal HOME!  Why should we be supporting their asses with free medical, free education, free everything else.  I don&#039;t care if they have been here for 20 years and never broke another law, they are breaking the law just being here!  Our politicians may never fix this crap.  The dems want to make them legal for their votes and the republicans want to keep them for the cheap labor.  Sheriff Arpeio(spelling) is a HERO!

Fred, you are exactly 100% correct about NObama and Holder being racists.  There may still be racist whites in America, but I guarantee there are at least twice as many black racists.  NObama, Holder, Rev Wright, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, Charlie Rangel, Duval Patrick, Henry Louis Gates, every damn body in ACORN, and all the rest that feel whitey &quot;owes&quot; them something.</description>

		<description>Well....I didn&#039;t think I had a dog in this fight...but he showed up.

I can agree with several people in this blog and Fred has a lot of good points...but...and I maight add it&#039;s a very big BUT.

If we give all men equal right to vote on any issue that pops up...some of those issues don&#039;t cover them. I agree with Silver Fox...if you don&#039;t own property then you don&#039;t need to be voting on my taxes. If every man younger (18) or old ( over 21 ) get the same right...then that shold apply to every man in this country legal or not. Don&#039;t get me wrong....I don&#039;t want them voting, but can we take it away because they are not citizens....after all they live here. Frankly educattion should be a main factor in voting...to me an illiterate is going to have problems voting on issues he does not understand...so should he be kept from voting. My grand father never made it oout of the fifth grade and could barely read and only write his name.....but yet he voted and fought in the tranches in Franch during WW1.

There is a line that has to be drawn allowing people to vote and others not. I drive through Rowlett now and then and buy things there...but does that give me the right to vote in their elections.

Rights are earned.....not just given...if you don&#039;t believe that...then go down to the DMV and demand they give you a CDL...you have the right to have it after all. No...you have a right to earn it. An 18 yr old going in the armed service earns his right to vote on things that may one day effect his life. Property owners shold be the only ones voting of issues concerning property taxes...you don&#039;t own property at the time of voting...you don&#039;t vote,

Do we allow pilots to fly us i planes after they turn 80???...NO...we have restrictions and laws that cover things so some of them out there can not force our ways and beliefs on  others just because we feel we have the right too.

Frankly I think everyone needs to take an IQ test to get a card to vote with....so if you are not smart enough to pass or score a resonable and acceptable number...you are out until you can. Giving an idiot a ballet is like giving a child a gun when he knows nothing about. The end results are going to be bad. Lines should be drawn and rights should be earned. This is not to say you can not get those rights...because every man is equal to try.

Sorry for long post</description>

		<description>The race card has been played so often that it is worthless now.  And dear Henry &quot;Skip&quot; Gates destroyed the idea of &quot;White Guilt&quot;.
The whole issue of race is wearing thin, polls show it is, &amp; the Black Community will learn that one fast enough.</description>

		<description>&quot;Damn Roy! I had to come up with a certified birth certificate!&quot;
Patrick

Well Patrick, it seems just to vote you had to meet a requirement that Obama got a &quot;free pass on&quot; in running for POTUS.  Isn&#039;t that a trip!

TF, you just went to the top of my prayer list again.  God Bless you  friend.</description>
