Either Harry has totally lost his grip on reality, or he really thinks that the US public is just stupid

For some reason HR forgets; Soros, Gates, Ergen, Buffett, Katzenberg, Lucas, and 159 others (as of 2010, likely quite a few more by now).

    At least the consequences caused by the aging dog were nowhere near the consequences often caused by this aging sycophant.

    Have been for awhile. I've stopped calling the outcome of voting the margin of victory, but rather the margin of fraud. Best guess at this point is that it is several percentage points in favor of the D's. Back in '60 it was merely hundreds of votes, now it's thousands in each state.

    On the farm we used to take the aging dog out behind the barn when they were in such a state. I know there aren't any barns in DC, but aren't there somewhere in NV?

    If you look into his race against Sharron Angle, not only did she completely blow it, but there is significant suspicion of vote-rigging. I know some friends that live down there and one guy even works on the voting machines. He said that things were awfully fishy...

    He obviously has dementia. His aides should have enough compassion to get him to resign before he has a public breakdown.

    It left those decisions up to the individual states, which basically required land ownership.

    That's a bit of a skewed description. The Constitution, as written, did not specify or restrict who could or could not vote. Later, only white men holding property or otherwise paying taxes were eligible to vote (unclear to me where/when this transition happened), but the key was paying taxes. The producers enjoyed the benefits of voting; the moochers did not. In practice, those were mostly landowners, but that is because the society was agrarian. An amendment to allow ex-slaves to vote gave full citizenship to citizens, but again it was dependent on the person being a producer. Regarding women’s right to vote, which was denied at the time, one must keep it in context of the times – the overwhelming households were families that had a husband and a wife (amazing that this concept needs to be expounded on today); if a unity of opinion cannot be reached within a family so as to vote as one, then that family should not be qualified to vote in the first place.

    And just so folks understand how the founders determined "productive" was that you were a landowner. That probably wouldn't work today, but some other form of limiting the vote to those with a stake in the success of the country is needed.

    I'd say both when in comes to Dingy Harry. I wonder what how he was enriched by this act.

    Whenever I hear Horrible Harry speak, I easily imagine that I'm hearing the voice of a dithering old woman with a short haircut and wearing a man's suit. Now popping into my head is the wrong (the right one dropped) criminally insane brain that Igor fetched for Dr. Frankenstein in that first Boris Karloff movie. Wonder why.

    As we all know, every country has the government it deserves. Given the government that we do have, we are (cummulatively) stupid.

    Exactly! This is exactly why this administration is so wrong. In order for there to be true prosperity there must be failure. We now stack all failures on the backs of the successful. The weight is becoming to heavy.

    It is an axiom that the "masses" are less intelligent than the "better" members of a society. The US Constitution recognized this fact and restricted voting to those members of the society that were demonstrably productive. Once the voting was opened up to all, on an equal basis, it became simply a matter of time for the stupidy of the masses to take over the government (or for the governing few to pander to the masses; the result is the same). So, collectively, we lowered our standards, our expectations and dived into the abyss. Whether a realative few are intelligent is irrelevant, as the mass of the country is devolving.

    I have to respectfully disagree. Those of us that are paying attention do not get what we deserve. We are forced into this mess by those that are not paying attention. But I would agree, those not paying attention and those voting intentionally for this get what they deserve. :)
