Mandatory voting....

[No.6]

Sounds like a great idea. Just go ahead and issue an executive order making it so. Let the IRS collect fines for not voting and exempt illegals from these fines (especially since they're eligible now to vote in US elections).

Just read the fox article. He thinks it would be "fun" to AMEND the constitution.....

This kenyan fukk is a joke.

My blood is boiling just reading that. Absolutely infuriating. Whether or not it has a chance of passing, the fact that "he" said it will get a bunch of morons on board. Yet another statist issue which will be repeatedly brought up in future.

What a sack of shit.

Although it could back fire in the short term as I know a lot of apathetic I'm not going to vote conservatives.

With the SC as screwed in the head of owned as they seem to be this could pass their review. Remember these same phuckheads thought it OK to tax you for not having health insurance.

Hope and change = hope the change doesn't hurt going in.

We have a winner.

This bunch is going to outsmart itself one of these days.

Include Presidential election day as a holiday to coincide with mandatory voting. Can he just do an executive order for it?

RE: Obama

This guy is on a roll. He is saying some awesome shit.

This is a wonderful idea.

I think anyone who doesn't vote should be ineligible for any and all government benefits, earned or not.

That would get people to the polls.

101. No, it's a horrible idea.

You would be in favor of throwing the poor and needy off govt. benefits because they didn't vote?
Benefits that keep poor families afloat?
Not very progressive of you.

That Jeff47 character is a loon. It's horrifying. When you're on DU and multiple people are telling you how you are wrong....that should tell you something.

He literally says, in post 253 and 260 that the Constitution does not authorize a military. Literally.

[sevenhelmet]

Did you post the verbatim text from the Constitution that says it does?

I don't think I could spend time on DU- I would literally smash my computer out of fury.

Facepalm...

It's like OH I hate this food think I will eat some more so I can puke ?
