You are a total idiot and there needs be no further proof of that fact than this post of yours. Simply put, you are wrong again, dummy. I said, *...Only an idiot would think that all Americans should be allowed to vote...* Your response, "But, that's what the founding fathers thought " There were many restrictions on who could vote at the time of the founding of our country. I suggest you find someone to help you do a little research on line. It was the mid 1800s before a non property owner could vote. It was left to the states to determine who could vote in the early days of the US. Hear the words of John Adams. John Adams, signer of the Declaration of Independence and later president, wrote in 1776 that no good could come from enfranchising more Americans: Depend upon it, Sir, it is dangerous to open so fruitful a source of controversy and altercation as would be opened by attempting to alter the qualifications of voters; there will be no end to it. New claims will arise; women will demand the vote; lads from 12 to 21 will think their rights not enough attended to; and every man who has not a farthing, will demand an equal voice with any other, in all acts of state.
