People are stupid and they should not be allowed to vote directly for government.
Wow, so very insightful. Can you elaborate further?
There should be a subset of people voting
You forgot to mention which subset it should be. I presume you mean only people with a certain level of income or property owned? Since you favor the re-establishment of slavery, I presume owning people would count towards owning property?
I just got foe'd by someone named 'ScienceFail'. Found it quite curious as I haven't posted anything even remotely close to controversial in quite a while and this guy has zero posts. My best guess is he is an alternate account for someone. I wish there were some mechanism for letting someone know why you foe'd them (or friended them). Just curious.

Of course, you can't be someone's friend and foe simultaneously. Looks like he accidentally hit the former wanting the latter, then corrected it. So really, I just gained a freak.
I suspect it relates to the fact that I recently pointed out that Ron Paul is full of self-righteous shit and doesn't give a fuck about the rest of the world. Not sure, but just a guess...
I'm just waiting to find someone who subscribes to both this crackpot "theory" and the birther movement, since the two can obviously not both be true. Of course, birthers won't let something like reality or logic get in their way...

With a "secret code". I had a few minutes to kill, so I went there from a browser on my linux system and entered a completely different code (turns out, much as expected, you can enter whatever you want into the "secret code" box). This directed me then to

Rather unsurprisingly, these two domains are both less than a year old (the latter being the older, at around 3 months, the former was registered yesterday), and both registered through namecheap.com
I contacted namecheap.com via their abuse address, and they have so far played every stupid run-around trick they could think of to avoid doing anything. In other words, they know they are aiding in a criminal act and they don't give a shit as long as they get paid.
Not that this is new, many registrars before them have gone down the same path.
The tea party groups, scattered around the state, have joined forces under the banner of the Ohio Voter Integrity Project. It is an offshoot of True the Vote, a Texas organization that has recruited volunteers nationwide to challenge voter rosters and work as poll watchers.
True the Vote was founded by Catherine and Bryan Engelbrecht, a couple who run an oil field equipment manufacturing firm in Rosenberg, Texas.
In Ohio, election records show, one of the project's top priorities has been to remove college students from the voter rolls for failure to specify dorm room numbers. (As a group, college students are strongly in Obama's camp.)
All told, the Ohio group has questioned registrations in 13 counties, according to Siegel. In 2008, Obama won nine of them.
Whether this is about race or not, this does show one thing. The GOP is indeed united in one thing above all else - their hatred of Obama. They don't care what they have to do to get him out, what laws they have to break, what kind of underhanded tricks they have to pull. Of course this shouldn't surprise anyone after what happened in 2000. And 2004. And 2008. And the midterms in 2006 and 2010.
The one day you'd sell your soul for something, souls are a glut.
