I'm not denying anyone the right to vote because I disagree with them. I don't think people who are conservatives like myself who don't know the issues or the candidates should be able to stand in that voting booth either. It's about making an informed decision. If you haven't taken the time to learn the issues or the candidates and show up to vote because someone you met at a party said you should...then THAT person is pissing on the sacrifices of those that gave up their lives to give them that right!So Americans have fought and died so that people who don't even take the time to know the issues or the candidates can stand in a voting booth and vote for something or someone they know nothing about?"ignorant" people .... typically people who disagree with you.
Yeah, don't let 'em vote.
This is the justification for all these voter suppression efforts?
I have no problem with informed people making a decision that I don't agree with, Nodog. What drives me crazy is people casting a vote for a politician they know nothing about because of the D or R after their names or voting for an issue that they really know nothing about based on some pundits rant on a slanted cable news channel.
And someone who disagrees with you can write you off the same way. Bottom line is that too many people have fought and died to secure the right to vote for EVERY American for us to piss on that sacrifice by claiming people who don't follow procedures that WE approve of, shouldn't be allowed to vote.
Who's really pissing on that sacrifice?
The people trying to deny the right to vote for people they disagree with are pissing on the sacrifices.
Anyone can claim that someone who disagrees with them is ignorant and doesn't know the issues. Egocentricity is nothing new and nothing to shape policy around.
