In Real Life they are irrational, interruptive, idiotic and hyper-unintelligent. 'My kid pooped all by himself and he's so great, wanna see a picture?' or 'My child is in the area so please change your topic of conversation because it might be offensive to a 3 month old'.
How could this person be trusted?
Should people with children be allowed to vote?
a provocative view, Todd, but it doesn't quite beat the one by the philosopher 'Slavoj Zizek'
'That everyone in the world should be able to vote for the American President ...except for Americans%26quot;
here is the man himself expressing his view on who should be able to vote
Should people with children be allowed to vote?
The core of American society is somewhat schizophrenic on this topic. On one hand, we are told that every American citizen (who is not a convicted felon) has the right and obligation to vote. The average person has the intelligence to select our leaders. After all, they picked George Washington to be the first leader of our nation. What better choice could have been made.
On the other hand, the Founding Fathers created the Electoral College so that the president would not be elected by a direct vote of the people. In actual fact, %26quot;average%26quot; people are not well informed and could make a bad choice.
Truthfully, George Washington was not elected by voters. He was chosen by the handful of men who attended the Continental Congress. John Adams was, also.
Hey, look at it this way. If the king makers really thought that American voters had any sense at all, would we have had a president for eight years who could not pronounce multi-syllable words. Would we have had the Governor of Alaska on our last ballot, a woman who claimed to understand foreign policy because she could see the tip of a Russian peninsula from her kitchen window (which was a lie, by the way).
Bottom line: The politicos want the people you've described to vote because they are the easiest to manipulate.
I know that I sound like some sort of communist, but I'm not. I'm a patriotic American who is fed up with mediocre choices at the ballot box. We have some very intelligent people in this country, but our political parties nominate the ones that they can control and think will appeal to people who can bearly tie their shoes.
