Let's be honest, there are tons of sheeps out there, including voters whom if you tell them that Palin was a vice presidential candidate for Obama, they will believe.

Shouldn't there be some sort of basic test that one NEED to pass in order to vote? Nothing anywhere near hard, but just to ensure that these voters are not completely ignorant. Simple questions like who's the vice presidential candidate, etc.

Do you think people with sub-80 IQ should be able to vote when they are just sheeps of certain group?

Nope because that's discrimination.
If they can't read and have no clue what's going on..well too bad because they get to vote.

They'll watch TV and will vote based on what they are told.

No.....

Most people in this country shouldn't have the right to vote as they go into the booth single-minded and are totally apathetic to the package deal their voting bloc is tied to.

Welcome to the failure that is bipartisan politics. Designed to divide perfectly.

Anyone whose vocabulary is so limited that he uses the word "sheep" or "sheeple" to disrespectfully refer to others with whom he disagrees should be denied the right to vote - or live for that matter. To me, that word in a political context is tantamount to having "moron" tattooed on one's forehead.

I think candidates should be refrained from campaigning on social issues. That way people are forced to vote for the stability of this country which always comes down to dollars.

I don't think it matters much with electronic voting.
