Was she at the neo-GOP convention this week? I wasn't following it closely, but I thought it was only 20% big money and 80% BIG STUPID.

in the 60's we had 18 year old getting drafted, and being put in harms way...old enough to kill or be killed, old enough to vote

perhaps as one who votes in multiple states the concept may be a little sketchy

then you need to shut the fuck up. Scripture forbids you from speaking up in such an uppity way that mimics male authority. And where's your head covering?

but even I have a better view of reality than she does. Unlike her, I know that our country will be further up Shit Creek if we continue on with this trickle-down economics that only benefits the rich. If she wants to declare which people shouldn't vote, I suggest that she take a look in the mirror first.
