Who Should Have The Right To Vote? Judson Phillips & Rush Limbaugh Weigh In On The Subject

Judson Phillips, president of Tea Party Nation, thinks that it makes sense that voting rights in the United States should be restricted to those who own property. He believes that property owners have more of a “vested stake” in a community than do people who do not own property. That’s what he claimed on a weekly program hosted by Tea Party Nation recently.

 


BTW, Phillips is the individual who sent an email to members of his organization in October telling them that they should vote for the Independent candidate over Rep. Keith Ellison in the November election for 5th Congressional District in Minnesota. Phillips wrote the following about Ellison in his email: “There are a lot of liberals who need to be retired this year, but there are few I can think of more deserving than Keith Ellison. Ellison is one of the most radical members of congress. He has a ZERO rating from the American Conservative Union. He is the only Muslim member of congress.”

Meanwhile—Rushbo ranted on about poor folks recently on his radio program. In a “media tweak of the day,” Limbaugh asked listeners if they thought that people who can’t feed and clothe themselves and who receive government assistance should be allowed to vote. It was just a “think piece” Rushbo said as he asked his listeners to imagine how different the political make-up of this country would be if such people couldn’t vote.

In a Psycho Talk segment on his MSNBC program, Ed Schultz “tweaked” Limbaugh back.

Maybe Phillips and Limbaugh ought to get together to establish an organization for the purpose of taking voting rights away from certain Americans whom they deem unworthy. Why not return to the good old political days when only property-owning white men had the right to vote. Right???

  3. Chan,

    You have a serious problem with either the English language, memory, or honesty. I don’t think it’s the middle one, so I’m going to be generous and give you a little lesson in Pronouns.

    When person A says something to Person B and later want to refer back to it they use the word “I, me, or mine.” That’s what’s called first person singular.

    So, since anyone can see that someone posting as Chan brought up the Yachts as an example, when (presumably) that same Chan refers to the topic, he should be saying “MY example.” Otherwise somebody might think that Chan is being dishonest.

    Now, that I’ve got that corrected. I’m done. I’ve given you ample opportunity to back up your theory with fact, you refuse to do so.

  5. Why don’t you go get you some of dat high quality H20 and go check on momma.

    See ya ta morrow Bobby, nite nite

  6. And you sound like an ignorant enemy of the Constitution and supporter of fascism, lil’ racist.

    Angry? The word you’re looking for is “disgusted”. It’s a natural reaction when you get dog poop on your shoes.

  7. Learn when to keep your racist bigoted mouth shut.

    You can hear me all the way ta Baton Rouge

    You sound angry. Sound like you want to open a can of some whoop ass. Dat wat you want Bobby.

  9. “Maybe in your case it is Mr. Denier”

    You throw a rock, I throw a boulder.

    It’s not my fault you’re not in my league . . . at anything.

    Again, that would be your problem. Don’t like being discredited? Learn when to keep your racist bigoted mouth shut.

  11. More personal attacks when someone challenges you. Keep up the good work. Mr. Sunspot Denier you must be drinking dat tacklin fuel momma b talkin bout.

  12. Come on. Act as an apologist for greed some more, Mr. “Master Plan”. It’s funny to watch you twist in the wind grasping for rationalizations.

  13. I’m not the one cheer leading for fascism, badracist.

    That would be you.

    Mine are crocodile tears.

    As to Mr. Denier? I don’t deny that you’re an ignorant ass when it comes to chemistry, math, science in general, politics and economics. I don’t deny you’re a demonstrated and discredited racist or bigot either. Quite simply, you’re in denial about my denial. It’s kinda funny though. In a sad and pathetic sort of way.

  14. Thanks for the link cause it confirms what I wrote above.

    “Thats not part of the master plan though so look for high unemployment for the next several years.”

    “The economy is not growing fast enough to reduce significantly the unemployment rate or to prevent a slide into deflation,” Paul Dales, a United States economist for Capital Economics, wrote in a note to clients. “This is unlikely to change in 2011 or 2012.”

  16. This breakneck pace can be partly attributed to strong productivity growth — which means companies have been able to make more with less — as well as the fact that some of the profits of American companies come from abroad.

    Abroad is not a woman

  19. The United States has one of the highest effective rates among the leading national economies — at 39.2 percent. Soon, the country will be No. 1, Japan moving now to make a reduction. Melick stresses that since 1990, ”every single country in the developed world reduced its corporate tax rate save for the United States — which actually increased its tax rate.”
