Volunteer Voters quotes a wingnut asserting that the right to vote is the root of all of evil in America:
Ignorance is like puddy in the hands of the populists, but educated people do not buy into that kind of manipulation.
You can't make this stuff up.

Puddy is a terrible thing to waste.
Things started falling apart
Things started falling apart once the circle expanded from propertied white males, hm?
I wonder if it's the 14th Amendment, the 19th Amendment, or the 26th Amendment that troubles him the most.

Yup
Those democracy hating wing nuts are easy to spot online as none seem capable of spelling. Google says Puddy is from Seinfeld but from the context we know this suffrage hater meant putty. As I recall the great Supreme Court Justice Scalia said more or less the same thing back in 2000 and Dear Leader has always wanted a dictatorship.

nuts,

Swing by Sean Hannity's board and there's about a hundred of them.
And the schmuck is right, he's right. You let people like them vote and all of a sudden nearly 4000 of America's bravest citizens are dead, nearly one million innocent people in Iraq are dead or displaced, and more of both are dying every day.
The constitution is crippled, the economy is decaying, the nation is divided.
There should be a minimum IQ requirement for voting. That would insure that the Riche-Wing loses every time.
