Shorter Tom Tancredo at the Teabagger convention:
Things would be better if we elected Strom Thurmond president brought back Jim Crow.
No⦠really:
The opening-night speaker at first ever National Tea Party Convention ripped into President Obama, Sen. John McCain and "the cult of multiculturalism," asserting that Obama was elected because "we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote in this country."
The political activist group holds its first party convention in Nashville. The speaker, former Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., told about 600 delegates in a Nashville, Tenn., ballroom that in the 2008 election, America "put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House ... Barack Hussein Obama."
A literacy test like this one?

That looks like a sample of the questions a candidate for naturalization has to answer. If we fail too many we don't get citizenship so we don't get to vote. Sounds like a literacy test to me, although one biassed against immigrants not natural born citizens. The latter are not required to take that test before being allowed to vote.
we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote in this country.
Wouldn't it be fun to run this one past all those at the convention in question?
And--no fair writing the answers on your hand!
