What questions would you put on an intelligence test to qualify people to be able to vote?

[bluestateguy]

Just a couple I would throw out:

1) What is Barack Obama's religion? If the answer is Muslim, that's an automatic fail. You don't vote this year.

2) Who attacked us on 9/11? If the answer is Iraq and/or Saddam Hussein, that's an automatic fail. You don't vote this year.

1. Are Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity sane? n/t

[Lisa0825]

2. none.

I read an ex-friend who was a Rethug the riot act for saying people should have to pass a test to vote. Wanna bring the poll tax too while you're at it?

10. You don't suggest that being stupid is the same as being poor do you?

Or do you?

[Lisa0825]

16. No, I am saying that putting more restrictions on voting is a BAD THING.

Way to spin it. :eyes:

27. "scuse me

but I think the OP is using something you rarely see here any more... sarcasm and humor. The reason you rarely see it any more is because people have a tendency to be far too literal and want to fight with someone over nothing.

I think they are frustrated with voters who vote for someone like .... GEORGE W BUSH and then stand around with a fucking dumb grin on their face for 8 fucking years.

3. How Many States Make Up the US?

[chascarrillo]

[Vote2008]

11. How many months was George Bush in Vietnam?

[AllentownJake]

13. None

We had a mentally challenged person working in our Obama office in Allentown. For you Clinton people who want to make a joke about that try it....my flames will be hotter than the fires of hell. He was awesome. The idea of someone taking his right to vote over an intelligence test would not be appropriate.

1. You realize it's the Republicans

who have been fucking you in the ass for the past 3 decades, right?

2. You know that the Liberal/Democrat spectre has been an inflatable prop, right? That they haven't had the power to change the color of your toothpaste, let alone wreck your lives, right?

3. If you vote Republican again, you're fond of the vigorous ass-boning, and that means you're some kind of pervert, right?

[HooptieWagon]

14. Some sort of Math question.

[mcctatas]

19. Well there goes my vote...

unless it's calculating 18-20% of any number in my head (waitressing was useful!)...

22. 18-20% for tables in your market?

Sounds pretty good, actually. ;)

[mcctatas]

28. It was great on busy nights...

but the slow nights :( If I can't find a decent job after I graduate this summer I can always fall back on waitressing though...

[Texasgal]

15. Sorry but that is ridiculous. n/t

[WinkyDink]

[mcctatas]

20. how many natural born citizens do you think could answer

these questions from the US Citizenship test? http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/citizenship_test.html?gclid=CO-T4srLn5MCFQIjxwodlRVxwg

[boppers]

21. That's exactly what I was thinking, that very set of questions.

Simple, raw, questions that show that the prospective voter is politically, and historically, aware of the value of their vote, and the laws of the land.

[Lisa0825]

23. I can't believe people are even taking this post seriously?!

Did I somehow end up at Free Republic? They're the ones who want barriers to voting; Democrats generally do NOT. Good grief.
