'Unelectable' label makes it come true

Rather than require ID cards with voter photographs on them, there is a much more important criterion for the privilege to vote--intelligence.

Millions of eligible voters tell us that Ron Paul is unelectable; therefore, they won't vote for him.

These same voters say that Dennis Kucinich is unelectable; therefore, he will not receive their votes as well.

Don't these people understand that this is a "Catch-22?" Do they need to learn that neither of these candidates will ever be elected to public office if no one votes for them?

Countering the current anti-immigration climate, a fresh infusion of new arrivals to this country may be our only chance to reverse the tide of declining intellect of people already here.

Is America losing its grip on democracy and now grasping an idiocracy?
