Can't Florida do anything right with voting?

Complete Disgrace.

This is good news for Democrats, but I still think we'll win that seat.

You are right there Phillip.  Whenever an eligable voter is denied the right to vote it is a disgrace.  Can't really say who it would benefit or it wouldn't because I don't think anybody really benefits when an American is denied the right to vote. 

Oh but wait phillip maybe his guy didn't own 1/5 of an acre of land.  You have repeatedly said that people should have that much land to be able to vote.  So maybe it was justified after all.

In my system, an eligable voter would have to own 1/5 of an acre of land.

And by the way, that was for one branch of state legislatures. Not voting in general, which would be different.

In my system, eligible voters would have to have a PhD from a real university. Democratic landslide.

In my ideal system, only intelligent people would be allowed to vote. Republican landslide, 100%.

That would pretty much wipe out the electorate in one generation.

So PhDs aren't intelligent?

It was a response to Phillips 1/5 of an acre comments. Having a PhD is more of an accomplishment than owning 1/5 of an acre in some desert.

Two billion people in the red state. One million in all the others.



Should those two billion be able to decide everything?

That's an awfully crowded state.

Umm yeah, the 2 billion people should have most of the power.
But the Senate would screw them, anyways.

They should be able to govern all that land, despite having no connection to it?

1. The Senate would block them
2. You Republicans were for states rights before Bush vs. Gore

Isn't it the Senate's role to give underpopulated states representation?  It seems to me that those people would already have their representation.
