6. enlightened citizens know voting works

Often it is the extremists that insist voting does not work. This has more to do with the intellect of extremists than it does the condition of democracy. If every American with the right to vote actually voted, we would experience a more stable, less partisan political discourse as well as the death of any political party that relies on extremists as their base. Lot's of right wing extremists believe there ought to be restrictions on voting rights to communicate the gravity of the choices made in the voting booth.
This bit of bigotry is shameful on it's face and antiAmerican in intention.
Why don't teabaggers have the courage to accept responsibility for their actions and beleifs? Intellectual and moral cowardice goes hand in hand with teabaggerism.
