we all have our reasons for voting for barack or for mccain..but you cant chastize someones reasoning.its their personal right to vote for someone for whatever reason they want. they already exclude ppl with felonies which in my opinion is ******ed..our prison system is meant to rehilbilitate however the right to vote is taken away from you as soon as you hit the streets
Everyone's been given the right to vote in order to lessen uprisings/ revolutions. Voting is not as "powerful" as people think. Diluting the vote makes it even less "powerful".
Chopping heads off is way more powerful. Believe it or not.
This country is as corrupt as ever. Are there even hints of any uprisings? The powers just have the people playing their game.
Why are people less mind +#*++! and brainwashed in totalitarian states? Is there a positive relationship between being mind +#*++! and having the right to vote?

Wow...Did this guy really say we should make voting harder? That is the most elitist,racist,sexist statement I've heard on NT. People have fought,suffered and died for the right to vote. Soliders that you might not think are educated or qualifed enough have fought and died for this country so you can sit around and write this nosense on sneaker bulletin board. You should be ashamed! Now that your candidate might not win,you say change the rules? Nobody was complaining when dumb hicks were voting George W.Bush because they thought he was cowboy.
Elitist, sexist, racist...
I was complaining back then too.
I even voted for Kerry.I thought that he was somewhat genuine.

yea if anything those elections proved that its bigger than the "people's vote" so more criteria wont matter

The reason we have the electoral college is because there are not enough regulations on criteria for voting.
People who say their vote doesn't count anyway are missing the point.
More criteria = More power not less.

More criteria = less illusions that "democracy" will save us after getting #@%$%! every 4 years.

I'm still dumbfounded. For the people saying there should be more restrictions on voting, what should they be? I just don't get it. With what thiscountry has gone through for everyone to have those rights, you just want to take them away because they don't meet some arbitrary qualification that youthink they should have? And quit bringing up felons as an example of people who can't vote. They did have that right at one time, and they lost it due totheir own actions. This isn't about power, this is about rights.

Not sure where this thread is going, but I don't see Obama losing this. I'm ok with it, I like most of his social policies, I like his speakingability, I just don't like his economic policies. However, due to the current situation, I think he will modify them, more to my liking. Not thatMcCain's econ policies are perfect. I won't get excited however when he "wins". Ideas don't excite me, results do. I just want (whomeverwins) to get this country motivated and get the markets rolling (as much as they can with the natural downturn). Honestly, the local issues will affect me morethan reps/pres, but still cool to be a part of a presidential election (my 3rd!)
