Am I the only one to notice this?

Every Right Winger I meet seems to act like their vote is somehow "more important" than "other peoples" vote.

Like a woman voting isn't as valid as theirs, or a Latino, or black, or student.

Are these people THAT FULL OF THEMSELVES that they can't picture that a poor person with worn out dirty sneakers and a faded t-shirt has an equal vote?

I get the idea they project that at home too, so their wife doesn't think her vote counts as much either.

Seriously, anyone else out there notice this with people you know?

After they lose, tell them to sit down and shut up because America has rejected their failed ideas and nobody wants to hear them anymore.

....we could do it nicely....

My parents taught that no one person is better than the other. Your views and vote are just as important as theirs. Speak with conviction and for what you believe!

...that he thinks people who pay more taxes should have more votes. Yes, seriously! He really said he believes the rich should have more votes than the poor. I was amazed he even admitted that insanity. I simply responded with: Yep, you're a Republican alright.

I could back that plan but I doubt your reich winger pal would like how things turned out for them after any vote.

We're not that far from civil conflict, and we have a bunch of self-serving morons running around with gas cans and matchs.

Right wingers look down to women, minorities, LEGAL immigrants.

They're full of prejudice, the bastards.
