Quote of the Day

"If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women."

Ann Coulter

Who says Republicans don't want to disenfranchise voters? Only Republicans that want to actually want to disenfranchise voters.

Update: Amanda Marcotte has a post on Coulter's assinine statement.

It’s interesting that this attitude Coulter displays—that one’s right to vote should be contingent on voting “correctly”, i.e. against your own interests in favor of the wealthy—is exactly the same one that Saddam Hussein demonstrated with his farcical “elections” where he would get 100% of the vote because it was basically illegal to vote any other way. Remember how that was supposedly a bad thing? That was one of the things that war supporters, many of whom are Coulter’s fan base, cited as a reason that Saddam was bad. Another lie, I suppose. But it’s relevant here that what Coulter is suggesting as a goal—one party rule, by a party that operates on the principle of marrying government to corporate interests so that the two become indistinguishable, is basically fascism. All you need, really, is a citizen-on-citizen enforcement strategy. The process of creating that was already underway, but hit a bump in the road.

It interests me that a woman would not want other women to vote. Does Coulter support having her voting rights stripped. I somehow doubt it.
