A few years ago I heard a rant by Neal Boortz that some people should not be allowed to vote. Initially, I thought that Neal was way off base with comments like this.

After seeing results from elections and listening to some of the voters who participated in these elections, I'm beginning to suspect that Neal might have been right.

For example:

1. Buying and selling votes (not new)
2. Illiterate in term of history of the country. Listen to some of the interview by Jay Leno on people on the sidewalks. Some of these are recent HS graduates and do not know who the VP is.
3. This extends to Congress voting on bills that they have not read.
4. Outright untruths that are swallowed hook, line, and sinker - no attempts to investigate. If Fox News, talk radio, and the Internet were gone, the average citizen would never know the truth on some major issues. I'm referring to the Dan Rather charges against Bush and the two examples of people supposedly denied health care that Obama mentioned in the speech to joint sessions of Congress.
5. A street person that pays no taxes, contributes nothing to this country, can cancel the vote of a tax payer who is not dependent on the welfare system.
6. Voting on the basis of "what am I going to get".

Something is not right!
