Paul Weyrich, "father" of the right-wing movement and co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, Moral Majority and various other groups tells his flock that he doesn't want people to vote. He complains that fellow Christians have "Goo-Goo Syndrome": Good Government. Classic clip from 1980. This guy still gives weekly strategy sessions to Republicans nowadays. The entire dialog from the clip:
"Now many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome — good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."

Just a tad bit unsettling that you have to put the "mentally handicapped" in the same pile as rapists, pedophiles, murderers, and other convicted felons. What exactly did they do to get their rights taken away from them? Not to mention, if they can vote, they usually are able to.
so let me get this straight, you want people who dont have the mental capacity to understand how the system works to have a say in the future of your children?
Given the people who cannot be bothered to actually educate themselves before voting, who actually buy in to the manipulations of the hierarchy of the political parties (yes, both) pitting us all against another, who accept what a politician says rather than looking at what he has -or has not- accomplished, or the governing philosophies he embraces, I've concluded that I don't want everyone to vote either -what frightening results we are harvesting as the fruit of such ignorance bythe electorate
