Republican Operative Paul Weyrich - I do not want everybody to vote.mp4

Paul Weyrich, "father" of the right-wing movement tells his flock that he doesn't want everybody to vote. He complains that fellow Christians have "Goo-Goo Syndrome": Good Government. Classic clip from 1980.

"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." This is what Paul Weyrich told a conservative christian audience in 1980.

Weyrich is considered one of the fathers of the modern right-wing movement because he co-founded several of the organizations that serve as the foundation of today's conservative movement. Weyrich co-founded the billionaire-funded Heritage Foundation, Council for National Policy, Moral Majority, Coalitions for America, and American Legislative Exchange Council.
