(17,984 posts)It's veiled by the bs voter fraud claim, but it basically states that college kids are not part of "real" America and shouldn't have a say in politics. The dumbing down of 'Murica is high on their agenda.

(22,239 posts)...anyone who isn't white, registered republican, watches Fox News religiously, and ostensibly Christian shouldn't be allowed to vote.

(99,915 posts)We have this thing called "The Bill Of Rights" and it does specify that you can vote at 18.

(11,790 posts)Coulter is a dingbat no doubt. Obviously they have a right to vote and are residents of the area for much of the year.
At the same time, depending on the size of the neighboring community, college students by sheer numbers can overwhelm the votes of the long time residents on local issues. These can have consequences long after they move on.

(82,383 posts)from 21 since it was possible to be drafted. So raise the draft age to 30, Annthrax. It is unfair for people to risk their lives in the military when they have no say by voting.

(38,365 posts)More ridiculous, the better. She needs to be able to charge money for speaking fees. If the media did not report her stupid remarks, and no one wanted her, or wanted her less, then her fees would go down.
.....If she makes statements that get her in the news, and there is a demand to listen and then argue with her, wherever she speaks, then the demand for her might go up, or at least stay at a higher rate than if no one ever reported in the media about what she said..
"college students shouldn't be allowed to vote.." is an enticement to get her to speak on college campuses...She will first give a speech, and then answer questions and argue with the audience....'
The more the demand for her speeches, the more she can charge for speeches and that is the only
reason that she said what she said.to increase her demand for her speeches, so she can charge more to speak.
.What she says in not important, what the price of her speech is,.That is all that is important to her.

(10,811 posts)Previously she said that the poor shouldn't be able to vote, people who have no skin in the game. Actually, it's the poor that people like Coulter wipe their feet on. Before that, she said the ignorant shouldn't be able to vote. Even though she's clearly a pretend know-nothing who likes to sell books to know-nothings. Now, it's college students
That being said, there are pundits and pols who want to go back to voting restrictions--only the landed gentry get a vote. Of course, they were the days only men got the vote. Come to think of it, Coulter also included women in her voting denial because women are too emotional.
The woman provokes for the sake of provoking because it sells books. That's all she's got--her mouth and her hateful rhetoric.

(8,353 posts)state. I really don't want 30,000 evolution-denying, brainwashed students who will be moving back home long after they voted deciding on my community's future, especially if their address of record is in another state. If they live in Lynchburg full time, fine.
I say this as a Christian person myself, just not fundamentalist, evangelical.
