I would support the ban being repealed if states would administer a uniform test. Because we all know that the business of elections is infected with partisanship, I have no confidence that would in fact happen. You'd just have the dominant party cutting down its enemies at the polls.Also, to the extent that the charge that President Obama was elected by elites and upper class folk is correct, it should be recalled that those individuals tend to have higher IQs and thus to be better test takers, so Mr. Tancredo would be quite wrong. All that said, it was an amazingly stupid thing for Mr. Tancredo to say. So much for the organizers of this Tea Party convention who said that they'd eliminate the 'crazies' - they missed one, and he shot them all in the foot. |
