Default Who shouldn't have the right to vote

Should certain citizens lose their right to vote?

I'm sure that the public execution of witches is right up there on his list of important things to take care of.

John McCain and Obama say basically the exact same thing about gays (they should have all the same rights as straight couples except for that term "marraige"). And they are both not in favor for a constitutional amendment to define marraige. So I dont know where you got that Somer.

and yet only reps indulge in hysteria.....

i would disagree with both on that issue. call it what you want, but as soon as married couples started getting perks from the govt for legally tying themselves to each other, they opened up that pandoras box--once it became a civil issue, due to govt via license requirements and claiming deductions--well, there's that 'all created equal' thing we claim to go by. you can't give rights to some adults, and not others.

i just don't understand why some are so hysterical (aughhghgh, gays, aughghhg)--it makes no sense. how does anyone's life get affected by a gay person? how would my life change if gays could marry? it wouldn't. people need to mind their own dammed business!!

Amen sista! I saw these people protesting the other day to make marraige 1 man and 1 woman... I wanted to ask them if I married my partner, how that would affect their lives?

But I didnt feel like wasting my time. I would like to ask that to Gov. Palin though.

MORMONS are sending money into Cali from Utah(against the gays.) We already had a vote on something like this back in 2000. My guess is it goes the same way this time(against the gays.) If it doesn't, then they will put it back on the ballot until it passes.

I think only tax paying Americans should be allowed to vote.

I don't have an argument for or against felons voting.. 'cept if they served their time they should have all rights restored. If there are reasons to deny (or fail to recognize) their rights then maybe they should have never been let out of prison.

oh we should repeal the 19th Amendment too
















I'm teasing
















Maybe
