OP: The US is a democracy. If the citizens of an area want to let non-citizens rule them, despite your oh-so-modern-and-reformed views on, well, everything, so be it. What are you afraid of, that if we allow those smelly foreigners (would you believe it, some of them have dark skin? Dark, I tell you, daaark!) to hold public office, eventually atheists will be allowed in, too:p?

Residing in Norway, I'd have nothing against a foreigner holding public office here. Why would I? The US might have changed since I lived there, but when I did it was a democracy, where people voted. Don't want someone to take the reins of your city, regardlessly of his political abilities, simply because he's not a citizen?

Vote for the other guy.

Where in the article does it say that it's the "left" that made the proposal?

The left(n): People I disagree with, see also scapegoat. Example: "Someone proposed to let non-citizens hold office in the USA, must be commie leftists who hate Christ".

recently, a Democratic operative pointed out that when Obama holds a rally 25-30,000 people show up, whereas when McCain holds one, he only draws 10-15,000.

The Republican spokesman replied, "That's because McCain's supporters are at work."

Hilarious in the sense that it forgets that it's the poor who works, hardest, often having to take more than one job to make ends meet.

Smear against politicians I can understand, but when right-wingers say we shouldn't vote for a candidate because his voters are lazy, that takes it all to a whole new level. It's like saying, "don't vote for Obama, or you're as dumb as these people".

Uh oh, not this "back in the day" bullcrap again. Yeah yeah, back in the "old days" everyone was polite, no one raped, molested children, murdered or wrote bad checks. Politicians were 100% honest and everyone was ruff tough and hard to bluff.

Those damned Negroes couldn't vote, and neither could our child-factories, sorry, women, who also couldn't press charges for martial "rape". We could beat our kids with belts, we had nice, segregated neighborhoods and chools so we didn't have to see those damned darkies, and our teachers respected that Christianity should be taught to every student, even if it meant blatantly disregarding those little children's religions. Atheists, fags and race traitors partaking in intersexual relationships were beaten up on sight as they should be, and the rest of the world feared the might of the US Army, as commanded by Presidents who knew that the US should rule the world.

Then, liberals :sneers:.
