What is wrong with the left in the US?

Boy, just calling them idiots sure futhers the dialogue.

Wait, what is the dumbest idea yet - the fact that current law requires that a candidate also be a registered voter, or the fact that they're trying to change it?

No better word for them so deal with it. They should be kicked out of the country for suggesting it.

The fact that they are trying to give council power to foreigners, let them spend our money, and vote in legal rulings. How far do you want to go? This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Maybe we are the global America since every foreign power wants their hand in our cookie jar.

Shear stupidity.

I'd don't think you'd find a conservative proposing it...

Proponents say the change would help reach a broader group of people who can make meaningful contributions to local government.

Such as... what? I hate these kind of "blanket statements"... Specifically, I would ask, what kind of "meaningful contributions"?

Quote:

Boulder resident Fred Rubin is among the critics. He urged the council not to put the proposal on the Nov. 4 ballot, saying it doesn't make sense to give people not committed to becoming U.S. citizens a role on city boards that sometimes make quasi-judicial rulings.

Ah...a voice of reason...

It's ludicrious... and just another example of the erosion of the constitution in the US...

Cause us redblooded Americans out here in the Rocky Mountain State refer to it as the People's Republic of Boulder. I figured by now they would be flying a modified state flag complete with hammer and sickle on it.

But it doesn't suprise me one bit.

Ah. The article does say 'not eligible to vote'. I thought it was about being registered to vote as a requirement for office. My mistake.

I will get in one jab, though: it's 'sheer' stupidity, as in 'thinly veiled. 'Shear' means to cut something.:p

Dang, sometimes I actually have to change my mind and agree with you. That does indeed seem stupid.

How about this then? maybe they should submit their meaningful contributions to the council for review? Imagine that? Like what are they thinking?

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."

If you want to be a part of government, start with the basics like.....:hmm: being elgible to vote

All this is the collective white liberal guilt at play. They want cultural diversity in their ranks so they can put the progressive place to live slogan on their tourism ads.
