Ted Nugent Wants to Take Away the Vote

Ted Nugent Wants to Take Away the Vote

Though he once predicted he would be dead or in jail if President Obama was re-elected, musician Ted Nugent takes to the Washington Times with a new proposal to disenfranchise some Americans:

"Let's also stop the insanity by suspending the right to vote of any American who is on welfare. Once they get off welfare and are self-sustaining, they get their right to vote restored. No American on welfare should have the right to vote for tax increases on those Americans who are working and paying taxes to support them. That's insane."

He should know.

You're cowardly ass should be handed to you on a spit because someone died for you while you shitted your pants in fear. You need another visit from the Secret Service because you are threatening the very foundation of the United States of America. Those votes help elect Presidents and you are obviously threatening the future of the Presidency.

anything else but sucking, a Dyson Vacuum cleaner; even with its' centrifugal sucking power should be jealous of your sucking abilities, if they gave gold medals for sucking, you should get a platinum one, it's said that light can't escape the gravitational pull from your sucking force.

Having said that and taken the high road, I don't believe you should be allowed to vote because you suck so bad.


Thanks for the thread, babylonsister.

If he's that unhappy, why deny him his right to exit as he pleases.

With a little tinkering I think he has a great idea. Instead of those on welfare how about we suspend the votes for those that are registered Republicans. The very fact that they are Republicans tells me they 1) they do not believe in democratic principles (i.e. those principles of a democracy) and 2) they do not have a strong enough grasp on reality to be trusted with critical decisions which affect the lives of so many people. You ask won't they just register as something else? My answer to you is they are not very good at problem-solving.

This is of course -- but just barely.

including not only employees but stock holders and people receiving interest on money deposited into banks who receive government money (including the bail out money).


My God that guy needs to just STFU!

Obviously nothing he has to say is of any consequence.
