1. idiot

It almost seems like they are going to try to say only people that own property can vote

2. What suprises me is that our 'red footed frind' is only asking for one vote per company......

Steve Lavin (R-bought and paid for) must be in some kind of republican training program and not quite up to speed with GOP co. policy. It would be more to the republicens way of doing business to demand one vote for every square foot of tax exempt property the company occupies. Or at least one vote for each employee, employee relative and pets.

Sure is going to be something when the republican menace get's their act together and shines up that new "Image".

3. As citizens of the USA, we the people own the national parks so everyone owns property.

In the case of off shore corps, they are not corps of the USA and in the case of Romney he would not be eligible to vote. Why does such stupid thoughts arise in the GOP. No one is running the party and we will be subject to useless thoughts until this is changed.

4. Makes total sense

in the upside down sorry-ass excuse for a world we've
unwittingly created. .. or was it wittingly, at least by
some. There must be at least a few shadowy villains
behind that curtain, with so much wealth and power that
they arrogantly give themselves permission to "decide
for" the masses what's "good for them", even when it
isn't really good for anyone, except them and their uber-
rich ilk, awash in blood money extorted from the poor,
one way or another.
