The GOP War On Voting Is In Full Swing

“Registering [the poor] to vote is like handing out burglary tools to criminals.  It is profoundly antisocial and un-American to empower the nonproductive segments of the population to destroy the country — which is precisely why Barack Obama zealously supports registering welfare recipients to vote. […] Encouraging those who burden society to participate in elections isn’t about helping the poor.  It’s about helping the poor to help themselves to others’ money.” -Conservative columnist Matthew Vadum

John Stossel (Fox News): “Let’s stop saying everyone should vote.”
Rush Limbaugh: “If people cannot even feed and clothe themselves, should they be allowed to vote?”

Wait, wait, wait.

Is there actually a human arguing in the 21st century that you should have to own property to vote? For serious? Like, those words exited a person’s mouth? I just…really? This was said out loud in seriousness?

Who are these people, and more importantly, who is listening to these people?
