| The most hilariously lacking in self-awareness statement you'll find anywhere on the three internets this year. One voter loses his franchise every time a "confused," and unqualified, voter is allowed to go to the polls.
I think what he means here, after he fumbles his way to this point, is that each time a moron goes and casts a ballot, he or she cancels out the vote of someone who has successfully figured out a complicated and important issued and sussed out which of the candidates is most likely to make a positive impact on its solution. This is from a man who feels content to subject readers to a rambling weekly column with the intellectual density of a fart in a stiff breeze. To give you an idea what I'm on about here, he takes to task Richard Hammel for offering up a political statement without offering citations to sources, while later on going on about how forcing voters to show identification is likely to increase voter participation. By the way, his lead paragraph: You need to provide photo identification to cash a check, get treated at a hospital, buy alcohol or tobacco products and to rent a movie, among myriad other activities.
Let's see, I do all those things (except buy tobacco) ... no, no, no, and no. I am asked to provide identification for none of those. |
