Owning The Vote

When he was on the campaign trail in 2012, Rep. Ted Yoho (R-FL) suggested that only property owners should be allowed to vote.

Yoho made the suggestion when he was running for Congress. The comments were flagged by Right Wing Watch on Tuesday.

"I’ve had some radical ideas about voting and it’s probably not a good time to tell them, but you used to have to be a property owner to vote," Yoho said at a speaking event at the Berean Baptist Church in Ocala, Florida. The crowd responded with applause. 

Well, at least he didn’t say only slave owners should be able to vote.  But either way, this is just another giant pile of crap on top of the mountain of evidence that makes it disturbingly clear the Republican party simply can't stand democracy.  Therefore, it’s beyond dangerous to let them serve in one.
