No IQ in GOP

 

I’m responding to John Weyant’s response (Letters, July 3) to a letter by Lloyd Brown. It would appear Mr. Weyant questions if Mr. Brown is capable of voting intelligently. That there is a movement to require voters to first pass an IQ test.

Hopefully, there isn’t much inertia to this movement. I follow mainstream news on television and newspapers and I haven’t heard of any real organization of proponents of these tests. Fortunately, this might indicate it hasn’t gotten much steam. Regardless of whether it may give us better government, it is against the spirit of America.

It seems harsh to single out individuals, however. If such tests were required it would mark the end of the Republican Party as we know it.

    I must be one of those DUMB republicans! I wouldn’t vote for someone who had NO History, Had never RUN anything, Associated with a church that preached against America, ran around with people who bombed American infrastructure, never voted for much while in congress and plied the intelligent Dems with only Hope and Change as a campaign slogan. I should have gone with all this, but instead voted for the American.
