Do you feel like Barack Hussein Obama would have successfully been elected as President of the United States?

I dont feel like he wuld have even had a chance. Maybe we should go back to that doctrine of certain peoples having less of a vote than others. Do I feel like it would boost the numbers of certain people that go to the polls? Nah. apathy is apathy. I dont think there is enough energy in all the world to get another dark president in office, even if there were a 20/5ths compromise

The revolution has been wasted on a shitty President, its gonna suck when a good one comes along but certain people are a) not gonna turn off the Gucci Mane and listen to him and b) call him an Uncle Tom and instead vote for Jay-Z on the TRL

Thoughts?

Who would vote for 3/5ths of a candidate?

2008 wants its thread back

Your self-loathing always hurts my heart.

the "compromise" you are talking about was actually pushed for by the north to keep the south from ever having any sway in congress. It referenced "slaves". "Black" or "african" isn't mentioned anywhere in the bill and wouldn't have been passed if it had.

WHO SAYS ITS NOT STILL IN EFFECT

Don't hold your breath, they all suck. The more I know about Sarah Palin the more I realize we dodged a bullet.

it's one thing to have identified with right-wing fundamentalist southern white conservatives. i just don't understand the vitriol focused towards black democrats.

it's puzzling.

You're thinking about it the wrong way.


Everyone gets the right to vote, but for every additional $10,000 you pay in taxes, you get an additional vote. That way people with more "skin in the game" (as the president likes to say) get to have more say in what goes on. Also, if that is unfair, lower taxes enough that everyone only gets one vote, or make everyone pay at least some sort of income tax to make it equal.

^ How about no

6/12/2010 9:28:18 AM

Why not?

You guys are right. Poor people aren't as important as rich people.

if those with substantial amount of booty were the only ones able to vote, would Barack Hussein Obama have been successfully elected as the President of the United States?
