What's wrong with not being able to vote? Who cares?

People in the USA shouldn't be allowed to vote either.

Look at the psychotic idiots they *do* vote into office...

A Texan redneck psycho responsible for the Iraqi debacle... (among other
things)

An Austrian immigrant meat-head girly-man actor -- wanna-be President who
becomes Governor of California... maybe not so pyschotic but he isn't
President yet (probably never will be, Thank God!) thanks to the
Constitution...

Back in 1970 John Lennon sang "Power ToThe People".

Gimme a break! People are idiots. Like I said, look at the idiots "the
people" vote into office...

Enuff said.....
