Santorum: ‘Mabye It Wasn’t Bad’ That Founders Limited Who Could Vote
Rick Santorum, who would like to be president, seems to pine for the day when many Americans (like women, for example) couldn’t vote.
Click here for reuse options!…Santorum was on C-SPAN today, and during a discussion about U.S. foreign policy and bringing democracy to other nations, Santorum suggested that “maybe it wasn’t” bad that the Founding Fathers placed certain limits on who could vote in U.S. elections at the start…
Santorum did not say in any way that the U.S. ought to have any limits on who can vote nowadays, but he did suggest that the Founders might have done the right thing in limiting who could vote back when America got started:
“Were we ready for an election when the United States was formed to have everybody in the United States vote? Well, our Founders didn’t think so. They limited the people who could vote in an election. Now you could say that’s horrible, that’s terrible. Well, maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. But it was a decision that was made to make sure that there was some continuity and stability within the government.”

Santourm said a few weeks ago that his wife has more guns than him. That is why I made the comment.

So now the truth has finally come out, thanks to Rick Santorum. He spilled the beans on why Republicans are doing what they are doing: To restore the power, privilege and dominance of weathy white males over everyone else.
Thanks, Rick. You just made it easier for everyone who’s not a wealthy white male to act to ensure that guys like you never regain that exclusive power, privilege and dominance of this country again, for wealthy white males are a tiny minority of the American populace — and you need to know that this is not apartheid-era South Africa!

So out of touch! Sen. Santorum, like most so-called “conservatives” are deaf to history, real history and all it’s many inconvenient truths. the Founders had, by today’s standards, a very limited idea of Freedom and Justice. It was a bad idea then, and it’s an even worse idea today.
