Got a House, You can Vote

[packman]

don't got a house, too bad you shouldn't vote. A two year old video comes to the surface like a piece of crap in a toilet of a Florida (where else?) congressman running for reelection speaking at a church - surprise, surprise - spouting off to what he believes. Love the part where he badmouths government assistance (we never got a thing from the guberment, pulled ourselves out of bankruptcy,etc, etc.) yet took food stamps when times were tough. God, I hate these types of pricks .

1. A big wig at my company was talking about this nonsense

Ranting, over drinks after work one day, about this "property owners should be the only ones to vote" bullshit. I looked him right in the eye and said: "I'm a renter, so I shouldn't be able to vote?" He said, no, I can vote, that's ok, but its the other 'freeloaders' that shouldn't be able to vote. The guy had no clue what he was talking about. He got embarrassed after a while and shut up. I just stared at him while he bellowed like an ass. Everybody at the bar thought he was being a prick too.

My point is, this stuff doesn't stand the light of day. It only flies with other paranoid bigots.
