Feelings? No voting for you!

"Voting as a liberal. That's what kids do." That was the catch phrase at a recent tea party group 'meeting'. Apparently the Republicans are really running out of candidates. Their new agenda is to prevent college students from voting by making it difficult to vote in the state of their university, and in some cases not be eligible to vote at all. They fear that since college students vote with their "feelings" and not "real life experience" they tend to vote for the wrong candidate.
Hmm.
Isn't that what democracy is about? What's next? Literacy and standardized tests? I am pretty sure that most ignorant conservatives wouldn't pass those either. But that's besides the point. I am not a liberal. But recent Republican tactics and low blows are just pushing most people like me over the edge. Just because the party is not capable of presenting a candidate that can appeal to people who apply common sense rather than prejudice and preconceived notions, it has to do whatever it can to limit people from voting. Kind of outrageous considering the fact that it is extremely UN-American and all that tea party advocates tend to talk about is "Patriotism".
If these laws pass, it will be another blow to the already deteriorating American democracy. Almost all of the basic liberties have been detoured through some sneaky government policy, but suffrage is the basic requirement for any country qualifying as a democracy!Claiming that feelings are not good enough to vote is very interesting considering Republicans thrive on emotional outbursts about abortion or homosexuality or religion. Very hypocritical and pathetic to see that since the Republicans are incapable of having an intelligent candidate that can appeal to majority Americans, they are trying to strip basic rights from people in order to increase their chances of winning.
Since college students are not good enough to vote, how about millions of
Americans that didn't go to college? Are they going to be stripped off their right to vote as well? Really makes you wonder, how low will the conservatives really go?
