I think the race card was a HUGE player in the election this past presidential election. I think the stats really proved that. I think it was 35-50% more African American voters showed up to vote last time. That just throws a huge ? into things for me. It makes it seem like *some* are saying, "Well if a black man isnt going to be running, Im not going to vote. Since one of our own is there, Imma back him" and they probably dont know anything about his political history or beliefs. Voting is a privilege, just like driving. And just like driving, there should be some sort of test given before you're allowed to step into the voting booth. You're mad because black people voted for a black person? It sounds like you are implying that Obama cheated in the election by being black, thereby easily wrapping up the black vote and unfairly winning the race. Do you want Jim Crow laws again?

Do you want Jim Crow laws again? 1)Show me where I said Obama cheated 2)Show me where I said I was mad/upset 3)Show me where I asked for a set of racist laws to be enforced Clearly yet not surprisingly, what I said went entirely over your head.

You can't have any test for allowing people to vote - that would unfairly rig the election. So what you said was just lame. But I guess that makes you smarter than me? YOU MAD NOW? What I would like to know is why so many people here are angrily filled with righteous indignation?

What I would like to know is why so many people here are angrily filled with righteous indignation? Its not hard (yet still HIGHLY unlikely) to make a test that asks a voter "Where does Politician A stand on Subject B" so that you know the voter knows what the hell they're actually voting on. The simple fact of the matter is people voted for Obama because he was black. People voted for Bush because his last name was Bush. People voted (in Primaries) for Fred Thompson because he was on Law & Order and anyone that thinks it doesnt happen is quite small minded. As I said, point to where I said anything you just accused me of...which you didnt and still cant. Just because you're still mad because I said Madison Rayne has a horse face doesnt mean you can follow me around the board and troll me. Good day and leave the adult conversations to the adults.

So none of them should be allowed to vote unless you consider their vote worthy? Who died and made you Vote God? I'm not following you anywhere. You said something jerky once, no surprise you would do so again. You are just one of many on here who like crapping on people.

Its actually unconstitutional to take a test in order to be qualified to vote in an election. It was also a famous bill signed into law by LBJ barring polling and literacy tests. I guess knowing the actual laws of our country wouldn't be apart of your voting test, though?
