3/8     somebody said in the lefty-commie-liberal thread:

           Because you're a leftist and normal people are retaking the
           country.  Maybe we need to pass an initiative giving lefties 10
           votes for every normal vote?  A sort of affirmative action for
           leftists at the ballot box?  Then maybe some of that garbage
           will pass.

        what garbage exactly are you referring to?  we have to spend
        most elections trying desperately to prevent the conservative
        kneejerk scapegoating garbage from passing...
        \_ you both need to read "memoirs found in a bathtub" by stanislaw
           lem right now.
        \_ Conservative kneejerk scapegoating like legalizing pot?  Uhm...huh?
           Most propositions are heavy handed lefty big government nonsense.
           Most moderates and the right wing don't think it takes a village to
           raise a child or to collect even higher taxes to give away to the
           undeserving.  Or believe in failed socialist agenda that has
           consistently failed all over the world for almost 100 years.
        \_ The statement would have been funny if it were not true. In reality
           the lefties are trying to get exactly this sort of thing passed. See
           prop 26.
        \_ Your very words depict exactly the situation that is occuring, but
           not the way you think.  Since you're incapable of clear and
           independent though, please allow to me to spell it out for you:
           "kneejerk"ing only happens after you hit someone's knee in the first
           place.  If you stop kicking normal people's knees, we'll stop what
           you call kneejerking.  Scapegoating is a lefty agenda item.  "Oh!
           Woe is me!  I'm a minority and I need $150m spent in my SF
           neighborhood in reparations!  And oh woe!  All blacks (_not_
           hyphenated-Americans) need reparations, too!  Everything is someone
           else's fault!  Da Whitey Man dun it too me!  Kill Whitey!  Only Da
           Whitey Cracka Man kan be racist!"  Your kneejerk label is obviously
           intended to paint anyone who disagrees with you as unthinking and
           reflexive, but that couldn't be further from the truth.  Maybe the
           2/3rds of the voting public is just stupid and fascist and evil
           and shouldn't have the right to vote or first amendment rights
           along with those lefty affirmative action voting rights?  You plan
           on voting for that traitor Al Gore who took foreign money in trade
           for selling out his country?
