>>>I have no idea when we as a nation started voting for people "just like joe schmo who lives next door". Its a recipe for disaster as we have seen.<<<

Go back and read the Federalist Papers. Those old Dead White European Males who are revered as being soooooo democratic, hardly wanted to give the vote to the common man. They wanted voters to have some skin in the game....and some education.

I am considering temporarily changing my residence to Pennsylvania to vote against Hillary (not for Obama) in the Pennsylvania primary. I Googled some key words, and ended up on Obama's website.

Take a look at this and be scared:

Sorry - can't find link, but.......

The Obama website was urging ex convicts to get out and vote, and explaining their rights. I guess that there is nothing wrong with that. If one has served one's time. But....it is really scraping the bottom of the barrel. It indicates a sense of desperation or willingness to get votes any way possible. I read an article the other day which reported that 1% of our population was behind bars. Obama seems eager to get that 1% of the vote. I am sure that Hillary has been there before him. Probably lavished most of that $5 million of her own dough on the ex cons.
