Block The Vote!

John Stossel on Fox News: I’m not saying we should have a test or something. But this endless cheerleading — let’s go to the rock concerts and register the kids. And the kids aren’t paying attention. And it’s important in a democracy, it’s important to vote. And these are important issues. The people who participate ought to be the ones who pay attention…I’m just saying we shouldn’t have these “Get Out The Vote” campaigns and make these statements: “Everyone has to vote. It’s your patriotic duty!” Well if you’re not paying attention, I think it’s your patriotic duty not to vote.

Actually, since young people mostly vote for Democrats and progressive public policy that history has shown to be a proven winner, and against Republicans and conservative public policy that history has shown to be a national disaster, they appear to be paying plenty of attention. Old, white, Republicans that watch Fox News all day on the other hand, need to get a clue before they take us all down. And of course, it's no surprise that yet again we have Republicans trying to get people not to vote. They pretty much hate democracy.
