Do all the research you want guys, investigate all the cadidates, find out their stances on issues you care about, but when it comes down to it, her vote counts just as much as yours...

I fixed it for you. You just know she's going to get bussed to several different 'hood polling stations on election day. It happens in St. Louis every election, so I 'm sure it also happens in Cleveland.

There are millions of dumbasses around this country that vote on both sides of the aisle.
Its exactly why we don't have a direct democracy.......
Now if we could only get rid of the dumbasses in Congress with some similar procedure.

Why we should have some sort of intelligence test in order to be able to vote....

Nah, it would be a little depressing to see how dumb we collectively are. I like not having a tangible number proving that (well, ignoring things like test scores and what not) so at least I can pretend it's not as bad as it actually is. We're loaded with dumbasses, and both parties are full of them.

I'm quite confident I could outperform 90%+ of voters on a basic civics, history, current events test thank you very much.

Our tax $$ going to pay for people to have cell phones..
"
Where do “Obama phones” come from?
This video of an Obama supporter bragging about having an “Obama phone” has gone viral on the web, but where do these “free cell phones” come from?
The program is called Lifeline, established in 1984 was originally created to subsidize landline phone service for low income Americans, funded by government-collected telecommunication fees, paid by consumers.
In 2008, the program was expanded to support cell phones which quickly escalated the cost of the program. In 2008 the program cost $772 million, but by 2011 it cost $1.6 billion.
A 2011 audit found that 269,000 wireless Lifeline subscribers were receiving free phones and monthly service from two or more carriers. Several websites have been created to promote “free” government cell phones, including the”The Obama Cell Phone” website at Obamaphone.net.
Rep. Tim Griffin R-Ark. has proposed a bill to eliminate federal subsidies for free cell phones and has produced a great YouTube video highlighting the runaway cost of the program. The program has also been highlighted for reform by Senator Claire McCaskill D-Mo.
Pressure to reform the program led the FCC to announce an effort in February to “reduce the potential for fraud while cutting red tape for consumers and providers” by the end of 2013."

Okay, but then only voters have to pay taxes.

Well, considering that most of the ones who wouldn't pass it are in the 47% that aren't paying income taxes anyway....

No, because almost everyone who could pass would sandbag the test so they didn't qualify to vote and pay taxes....
