Tea Party Nation President Judson Phillips said denying the right to vote to those who do not own property "makes a lot of sense" during a weekly radio program.

"The Founding Fathers originally said, they put certain restrictions on who gets the right to vote," Phillips said. "It wasn't you were just a citizen and you got to vote."

"Some of the restrictions, you know, you obviously would not think about today," he continued. "But one of those was you had to be a property owner. And that makes a lot of sense, because if you’re a property owner you actually have a vested stake in the community."

1. We should be at war with the Tea Party

We should only be viewing them through cross-hairs.

[Drale]

3. The Tea Party should be classified as a hate group and

a terrorist organization, because thats what they are.

[Drale]

2. How many tea baggers wouldn't be able to vote

because they don't own their homes, the bank still does? I love the fact that they have all these ideas that in the end shoot themselves in the foot, its pretty funny.

4. So if I have two acres

do I get more of a vote then a person with one acre? Does 20 acres get a more of a vote then my two?

[Angry Dragon]

9. No

but you get a vote for each piece of property that you own.

:shrug:

put a fence down the middle and make it two propertys then I get two votes? :sarcasm: for got it last time.
