Should white males be allowed to vote?

[Nikki Stone 1]

Considering that the majority of white males vote Republican--at least according to polls done over the last decade--and considering the ABSOLUTE DISASTER that the GOP has become, should we just disqualify white men from voting?

It was minorities and women who gave Clinton the edge, and since the entire nation did better with Clinton, perhaps we should consider a moratorium, at least for the next decade or so, on white male suffrage.

I can't make an official poll, so just answer yes or no.

(Friends on DU are exempted of course. :))

2. Let's be reasonable here...

if a person voted for bush in 2004 they should be automatically disqualified for voting in 2008 :)

[Nikki Stone 1]

3. I like that too

:)

[ComerPerro]

4. Its getting harder and harder to find people who voted for Bush in 04

I've talked to as many as five people who I KNOW voted for Bush, but deny it now.

[Nikki Stone 1]

6. Hiding, eh? I know too many who are still proud of it, dammit

I wish they had some shame, but they don't. Mostly, the live in denial: Saddam planned 9/11 with Osama in some spider hole in Iraq where there were WMD just dropping from the palm trees and Anne Coulter is the pinnacle of female beauty.

:rofl:

[cynatnite]

7. You forgot O'Reilly...

he's the pinnacle of manliness.

:rofl:

[Nikki Stone 1]

12. Oh God! In what universe?

Hey, on a planet where all the men had three eyes, four arms and half a dozen nails on each toe, O'Lielly would still be the guy who stood against the wall at the prom, with his bottle of Jack and a falafal.

:rofl:

[ComerPerro]

10. Oh, I know quite a few who are still proud, as well

[Nikki Stone 1]

13. Don't they make you wonder if evolution might Not be happening?

I saw a bumper sticker today that said "If evolution is outlawed, only the outlaws would evolve." I figured my car would get vandalized by Rush worshipping "morans" so I didn't get it.

[hfojvt]

25. Nobody is gonna say pinnacle

that's either Angelina, Hallie or Cameron. Coulter is not even as hot as Lara Logan. But the first time I saw her on "Politically Incorrect" I thought "wow, who is the babe?" and then when she started talking I thought "wow, who is the fu$%ing idiot?"

[Nikki Stone 1]

28. Amazing how little time it takes to change an opinion!

And if anyone can cause that quick a change it is La Coulter.

Of course, you forgot Eva Longoria....That is a beautiful woman!

[hfojvt]

20. How can you know?

Friends might assume that I voted for Clinton too. They might be absolutely sure of it because they would know that I did not vote for Bush or Dole and they would be correct in that. But I didn't vote for Clinton either.

But those people need to admit it, or they might make the same mistake this November and in 2008.

[Nikki Stone 1]

22. So how do we make them admit it?

I guess since torture is now legal in this country thanks to the frigging GOP and a few turncoat Dems, we have some options...

[ComerPerro]

24. they were bragging about it in 04

[Nikki Stone 1]

30. Damn! We didn't tape them all when we could have!

Only the "morans" have been recorded for posterity.

You know, I'll bet my housecat is smarter than the average Bush voter. :)

[ComerPerro]

32. oh come on. That's a sucker bet

no one is gonna take it.

Of course your cat is smarter than the average BushBot

[Nikki Stone 1]

35. LOL!! Oddly enough, my cat agrees.

Then again, he thinks he's smarter than the average human. The jury is still out on that one...

Ouch! Get down!

5. If you take out the white male vote Kerry wins in a landslide

White men excluded everyone else from voting for 150 years. We could fix this country right quick if we just banned white men from voting in just one election cycle.

[Nikki Stone 1]

8. Wow, that's right!

And we would actually have a bona fide veteran in the White House instead of a guy who puts on a codpiece and lands on a boat in San Diego.

[cynatnite]

11. Now, that's not true...

It wasn't a boat.

Not commenting on the codpiece or the empty space under it.

[Nikki Stone 1]

15. LOL!!!!!!!!!

Hey it could been a canoe for all the good it did. Jeez!

[MoseyWalker]

9. only if they read a book from the 70's

Black Like Me, and write an essay on it afterwards.

Then, ok.

[Nikki Stone 1]

16. OK. I could go for that.

As for me, I'll just watch some Queen Latifah videos. :)

[Nikki Stone 1]

21. How about Franz Fanon's "Black Skin, White Masks", a classic of

postcolonial theory? It really goes into depth on what racism and colonization does to the psyche. I'm reading it now and it's chilling.

[cigsandcoffee]

14. A modest proposal?

Honeslty, I hope this is sarcasm.

[Nikki Stone 1]

18. My mom would be so happy that you called me modest.!

So would my third grade nun who always worried I wasn't going to amount to anything. :)

But, if you are a DUer, you are automatically able to vote no matter what. :)

[drm604]

17. Sorry

I know you wanted just a yes or no answer but that doesn't suffice. I strongly resent that you come on here and suggest that I be banned from voting.

That is certainly NOT a Democratic attitude.

[Nikki Stone 1]

19. Hey, you're a DUer. You get to vote

It's in the fine print at the top. :)

[snot]

23. Only if they're gay. nt

[Nikki Stone 1]

26. But that would include Jeff Gannon!

We'll just have to exclude him by special proxy or something.

[petronius]

27. Are women too emotionally flighty to be allowed to post on the internet?

Present company excluded, of course.

(How about that - does the 'fine print' make it funny?)

:shrug:

[Nikki Stone 1]

31. Now, I could just be drinking. :) Ask Catwoman.

:)

[hfojvt]

39. you left out the "white" part

and the IBTL.

[petronius]

41. Yeah, I didn't have enough room in the subject line for another adjective

As for the IBTL, I'm not sure it's going to apply - there doesn't seem to be critical mass here for a genuine :nuke:

[Warren DeMontague]

29. Not if they drive a monster truck with oversized tires.

That's where I draw the line.

[Nikki Stone 1]

33. Doesn't that hurt the truck?

Ouch!

[Warren DeMontague]

34. I wouldn't know.

I find those things obnoxious as all get-out.

[Nikki Stone 1]

37. Obnoxious yes.But looks like they would put too much stress on the truck

Hmm....

[Warren DeMontague]

42. I can't figure it out from an engineering perspective, either.

Much less an aesthetic one.

[Rex]

36. As a white male, I must say that

women should run the world and men should cut the grass and do things. Whatever the women want, I'm all for that.

I repeat, women should run the world. It is high past time now.

[Nikki Stone 1]

38. Ok. But do you know if oversized tires on pickup trucks hurt the vehicle?

Do they put too much stress on the frame?

[Rex]

40. Depends on what you are using the truck for.

Next question. :evilgrin:

[meldroc]

43. Hey, I resemble that remark!!!

I'll be wanting to vote this November, and I will be voting a straight Democratic ticket.

[Heidi]

44. Locking.
