Sarah Palin supporters: really exemplifying the fact that...
Edited on Wed Jun-08-11 05:46 PM by JAnthony
there are really SOME PEOPLE who should not have the right to vote.

Too little comprehension of the world around them.

Too little conception of what the discipline of science is.

Too little understanding of economics, history, psychology, or even too little understanding of humor, satire, art, music, theatre, oh but a full understanding of (attention-getting) DRAMA.

Should we allow people with less than an 8th grade education a right to vote?

Should we allow people who believe dinosaurs (extinct at least 66 million years ago) walked with humans, (coming here in several species of "homo" in the last million years)?

Should we allow these people to vote, or just make them "stay back" in school at the level of sixth graders who haven't quite mastered basic facts?

Sure, we can stand about 1-2% (intellectually disabled) among our population of people with such few educational attainments, but why does the media make people like Sarah and her supporters, (under educated about at the 5th grade level of understanding of our world), such daily fare as legitimate political factions in our complex world?

Comments?

1. because its a big fat clown face
their (the "media") corporate masters want to install another puppet (ie. shrub) so they tell the dolts what to think and scream, and they tell their lapdogs to cover it and thats how everybody thinks, see. Then they rig the election and say, look, thats how everybody felt and voted, nothin to see here move along to the next tax break please.

3. I'm really with you in some ways, but the only thing Sarah brings to ....
America is a pretty face on a TV screen, (when we have literally MILLIONS of those for our TV screens!).

Americans need to think about restricting voting privileges for people who simply cannot figure out how stupid they are. That's my point. Sarah could wreck the world and her supporters will continue to support her.

What did she say in Israel? In Boston?

She's dumber than a box of rocks.

Because the Republicans are intent on destroying the country has we have known it and I can't think of anyone more qualified for the job than Sarah.

4. Actually, I think most Republican politicians are ashamed of ...
Sarah...

It's only the media that finds her "attractive" to their viewers.

The mass visual media is both Sarah's enemy, and ours!
