2/3 of Republicans believe voting is a privilege - Not a right

The question was quite clear: Is voting a right or a privilege?
There is only one answer.
Sit down before ya fall down ;)

Sorry drunk. The phrasing of that question means they are looking for an OPINION. Keep spinning. And failing.
 
Voting is not really a right. Nor is it a privilege. This is one of those asinine ideas that modern Americans have that corrupts the political process here. Voting is a responsibility that should be taken seriously. Most of the electorate votes without a single second spent actually understanding the candidates, positions or impact of what they are doing and it is pathetic.

Americans are proud to vote but have no shame if they cannot name a single plank that the people they voted for actually propose. It is why politics is all about the 10 second soundbites or candidates constantly run on a plethora of things that they do not even have the power to do. Instead, we are more interested in slogans or who they were sleeping with.
And you have/had no problem voting for the orange who had neither a platform or nothing more than empty slogans.
 
As I have said, our founders were 1) Extremely smart men 2) Thought most people were idiots and shouldn't have a say in how the government is ran. Sorry that you can't handle the truth.

Morons, town drunks, fools, those living on welfare or in their mother's basement--should not and should never have a say in how the government is ran. They aren't invested in making good decisions and often make awful ones. Our founders wanted a system where only the intelligent and hard working would have a say in picking representatives and for that matter ever be allowed in government to boot. They were really very snobbish and rightly so.

Town drunks/druggies do not have a natural right to make decisions for everyone else. Their opinion doesn't matter nor do their feelings. Only a moron would want this group making decisions for everyone else.
Slavery was also legal. Right-Wingers made sure that a Civil War was fought over slavery. So, what is your Point regarding being, immorally repugnant to Constitutional law?

The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.

Voting is part of the franchise. It must only be abridged by Due Process.
 
Good grief ---learn to research before you post. Our founders were still operating under English Common Law---which Jus Soli at the time of the revolution. Born of the soil, Assuming that there were ties to the soil, not to tourists or invaders basically.
Our founders were a Englishmen and in the beginning just wanted the rights of Englishmen. None of them were immigrants, most if not all were born in the colonies and were men of means. All were upper middle or upper class.
 
Because means testing makes it less efficient. Means testing should be used to help complex poverty in order to discover the best way to concentrate capital to obtain capital solutions more promptly.
Well too many more get on welfare. I'll have to get on it. Then who will pay for it?
 
I guess Democrats know more about the Constitution. :) See Section 2 - Time for the filibuster carveout to end this BS. In any case where such a right is being upended by power-hungry piglets, 50 votes shall be all that is needed.


Fifteenth Amendment

Section 1

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.

Section 2

The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Your poll has NO meaning. The word fundamental is a subjective term, and those "fundamental rights" you cling to doesn't apply to non-citizens, youth, in some cases ex-cons. The constitution is broad, but feel free to lift all restrictions if you like, the left has already fucked over our schools, a 5 year old is sure to vote Demonicrats due they make all your dreams come true. The Const. is not as broad as that fucked up question for sure.

How about asking a legit question in a PROG poll, for a change? You know, less the subjective BS, politics and target groups? Does the Constitution provide for the right to vote? Yep, nope...............neat.

Conservatives aren't idiots, a single phone call with that question smells PROG, I'd have said no too.
