former Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. said in his speech to the Tea Party Convention that President Obama won because "we do not have a civics, literacy test before people can vote."

He continued to say, "People who could not even spell the word 'vote' or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House."

The literacy tests of which he spoke about during his speech this week were actually once used in our country's history in South to prevent blacks from voting.

The problem with such tests are that they are illegal in the US, and most adults could not pass them given the lack in depth civics courses in the American school system.

All in all, he was applauded for his comments which have racial overtones in American history, as recent as 1965 in fact.

You know, if conservatives really want to require people to pass an intelligence test in order to be eligible to vote, I say go ahead - make my day. Goodbye Tea Party, hello 3 generations of unopposed Democratic governence.

Here is Tancredo’s opening: First, we should have a “civics literacy test” before people are allowed to vote. Second, “People who could not even spell the word vote or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House whose name is Barack Hussein Obama.” Convention organizer Judson Phillips helpfully explained that "Tancredo doesn't feel like a lot of people who supported Barack Obama understand the basics of this country."
