So you disagree with the constitution?

You seem to be leaving out some details. I had to wait 18 years to vote despite being a citizen.

It's a simple question of counting the votes. There is no ideological opinion in the statement.
Absurd. Think about how many voters are over the age of 65 themselves. My grandparents, who were immigrants, were born in the 1800's!!!!! Think about how long ago that would mean when they came to America, and fought in the CIVIL WAR. Not good enough? What do you want? Mayflower ancestors for citizenship rights?

Idiot. Do most people have more than 4 grandparents?

All of my grandparents were born here. So were some of the great-grands and some great-greats and one line with a lot of greats-

I wouldn't vote for him.

My brother in law wouldn't be allowed to vote becuase his mother's parents were from Poland and his father's parents were from Ireland, but both of his parents and he himself was born here.

If that were the rule we would most likely have black President all the time, they have been here the longest.

There are so many American's who's grandparents were not born here it's a huge number including Giuliani. and I would bet a lot of out Supreme Court Justices.

Everyone in the world has exactly 4 biological grandparents. It's not really that difficult to count them using the fingers of one hand.
