Toss out the bums

It is time to toss out the bums. No, I don't mean our elected representatives, or the president. Rather, I mean the PEOPLE responsible for electing these morons and looters.

It is time to toss out the voters.

Before you say I can't do that, shall I remind you there is no such thing as a "right to vote"? While there are laws which prevent discrimination in voting privileges, there is no actual "right to vote" anywhere in the Constitution. Feel free to prove me wrong, because you can't.

So back to the idea of tossing out the voters. This is easily done: just ban everyone from voting. This also has the side benefit of eliminating the whining every four years that someone was denied their voting rights, since no one will be able to vote!

As Clint Eastwood would say, "I know what you're thinking...": Who would run the country? Not that it matters to any of you, since you ARE the people responsible for the mess we are in, but the exact same people who run the country now. You didn't seem to care when our elected officials were taking bribes (in the form of campaign donations) to support a financial system that made many people wealthy (not you, of course), so why would you care if they remain in power? Let's remove the pretense that any of our elected officials will actually lose in the next election, because the overwhelming majority of them won't lose. Re-election for incumbant legislators in in the 90th percentile of probability.

But here is the best part: If we make our current Congress and President permanent, they won't have to give us health care, and they can go about the business of actually attempting to fix what is wrong with this country, instead of handing out free candy like health care to try and make their jobs permanent. You didn't honestly think they were planning to give us health care out of the goodness of their hearts, did you?

No wonder you voted for these morons and looters...

"It is time to toss out the voters."

Hmm... sounds like a call for dictatorship to me.

BRAVO, ED! You've come to your senses!

(Btw, Ed... sorry to be a killjoy, but you might wanna re-read Article 1, Section 2 of the Constitution. Here... I'll quote: "...Members chosen every second Year by the People of the severl States...")

Ed. Contrast this to the ORIGINAL method of choosing Senators.

(Sorry, Ed... the Founders DID want the People to directly elect House Members.)

So... let me get this straight:

* Bill - Favors Military Coup.

** Ed - Favors "just ban everyone from voting."

(Hmm... wouldn't that leave the status quo with Obama/Pelosi/Reid et al?)

"Who would run the country?"

I nominate myself... but I'd be happy with Clint Eastwood OR with whoever the Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps presently is.

(*WINK*)

Anyway, Ed... yes, I realize you were being a bit tongue in cheek...

(*GRIN*)

Not me, though! Viva La Military Coup!

BILL

Bill,
Do I need to remind you how many limitations have been put on voting rights since that was written? Do I also need to remind you that calling for an election under the law is an entirely separate thing than guaranteeing everyone to vote in said election?

Try again hoss. ;)

Except for blacks...and women...

yes, I realize you were being a bit tongue in cheek...

You had me worried for a moment. ;)
