The problem of course would be to get Congress to impose this tyranny on Americans.

Well, this Congress won't, of course, but kudos to Obama for putting the idea out there -- some goalposts need moving -- and maybe it will become an issue in future elections.

opps, just when the LOONZ of LIT went full bore to say

[phrodeau]

I say we can allow an exception for vetteman.

 

[Busybody]

I don't think

women

and

coloreds should be allowed to vote

In regard to giving testimony against yourself, but I'm not sure the Fifth would apply in this case. The whole idea of government imposed mandatory voting does violence to the idea of a free society. That said, Article I may actually give Congress the power to require mandatory voting for congressional representatives and since voters elect their representatives at the same time they vote for Presidential candidates the requirement might actually be imposed indirectly. The problem of course would be to get Congress to impose this tyranny on Americans.

Not so much tyranny as common sense but your argument is we have no idea who's right?

I'm comforted by the fact that the morons who favor this preposterous idea have probably never voted for anything other than student body president.

In one breath the Rogue President reels you in with concerns for the poor and minorities not being part of the process, and in the next proposes a mandatory law that would further burden them with fines for not getting to a place in time to vote. Besides, who really wants to be governed by people to fucked up to get to a polling place on time and when they do have no real understanding of the fucking ballot?

Obama never proposed a mandatory voting law. Obama never even proposed mandatory voting. Obama said it would be a good idea if everybody voted, that is all. He said nothing about making it mandatory.

"Other countries have mandatory voting," said Obama "It would be transformative if everybody voted — that would counteract money more than anything,"

Tell me he isn't advocating it.

He's advocating it and all real Americans are proud.
