However the right to vote is an American luxury that was fought for and isn't available in a lot of societies. As for voting in this election, I'm going with Obama. Who else is there? I appreciate the "right" to vote.. I just think it really doesnt matter.. the results will be the same whether I vote or not.. btw I am very politically uninformed since I dont get into politics at all.. I wouldnt even know where to begin.

people should need to pass an IQ test before voting

Isn't democracy about everybody being equal, regardless of skin color, religion, income or physical and mental capacity?LOL @ thinking the USA is a REAL democracy. anyway, people who vote should be able to make decisions. if they dont understand the situations going on, how can they possibly make rational and sound decisions when it comes time to decide who theyre going to vote for? they cant, so they turn to ridiculous deciding factors, like religion; sex; WHO THEIR FAVORITE CELEBERTY ENDORSES etc. etc. how many people you think there are, that are going to vote for obama just cause hes black, or vote for mccain just cause he has a female on his ticket?? these are not "issues" (for a lack of a better word" that should make up someones mind. i dont feel comfortable with people going out to vote on the fourth, who cant even name a SINGLE issue that their candidate is for/against. trust me, there are a lot of nimrods out there choose their candidate over the most frivolous things.some people who are going to vote dont even know the branches of government!!! some dont even know how many states there are!!!!!!!!!do YOU feel comfortable with people like THAT voting on OUR future? when they cant tell you the three fucking branches of government?but it is, what it is. a required IQ test before voting will NEVER happen...but it SHOULD.
Poor people don't vote, if they did we would have a liberal everytime time in office.

Nothing worse than people bitching about everything, yet can't spend a couple hours once in 4 years voting. Still, the middle class and lower middle class is the main factor and they are relatively poor. If you had a system like an aristocracy, the Main Street would be doomed. Since you're both hispanics, it's also interesting how most people who are running for president never really bash illegal immigration or immigrants, even though that might appeal to some voters. It's because of guys like you. If only the rich elite were to vote, some of your relatives wouldn't be able to chill out with you guys. I'm just saying, for every dumb person being able to vote you have the candidates who are trying to appeal to them. Through that you might get some policies brought through that you normally couldn't even dream of. "Dumb people who don't think like me shouldn't be allowed to vote at all" is easily said, but once that happens, the consequences might negatively surprise you.
