Yea but think of the dead people that WON’T be voting Democrat this year.

Fret not Glenn, A last minute Democratic amendment allows a pencil tracing of the engraving on a tombstone to be used for ID and ACORN voter registration for proof of citizenship.

Gotta love the Dems for coming up with reasons to oppose voter I.D. Makes me wonder what percent of their votes are real.

You GOP facist racists ought to just say what it is, you can’t win without cheating (remember only the RNC is under a federal consent order in NJ to refrain from illegal voter suppression activities like falsely claiming picture ID’s are required to vote, etc.).

So now its the straw man of “voter fraud” that you oppose, eh? Prove your case if there’s fraud. All I’ve seen is a politically motivated Bush Department of Justice suit thrown out of courts in Missouri in an attempt to trash Robin Carnahan (one week after she was menioned in a national publication as a future national leader) and a lot of yapping.

When you weigh the harm to the poor and elderly who cannot afford the secondary documents to get any state ID, free or not, the law amounts to an illegal poll tax. Poll taxes were used by racists in the South to keep black people from voting. Now they’re being used by racists, again, to keep blacks from voting.

You need to stop living in the far left world. Just read the reports on ACORN. You wouldn’t know the truth, even if it slapped you up side the head.

Using Glenn’s logic, I think I know where we can get the 6.5 million.

Disband the TSA. I mean, look at all of that paperwork, people, lines in the airport and money spent. In the entire history of American aviation there have been fewer than 20 people that we needed to look out for.

They don’t seem to be doing a very good job anyway, since homeless people can apparently get by security at Lambert and nap in airplanes. Just imagine what could have happened if he had more than 3 ounces of hair gel!

“Now, if we can just limit the vote to property owners and cause it to rain on election day we might just have a chance.”

Is there some reason the Democrats say you do not have to prove who you are to vote?, Maybe they are counting on the homeless, the winos, the felons and the illegal immigrants to put them over the top.

Permit me to pose this question to the supporters of the various voter ID bills that are out there:

How do you propose to insure that all who want to exercise the franchise will be able to obtain the proper identification?

This, I think, is the crux of the matter. The Democrats assume that any such law will disenfranchise some because of the various difficulties involved in obtaining the required ID document. The Republicans seem to be saying that any such difficulties will only serve to weed out those who (for whatever reason) don’t deserve the franchise anyway. What I see is that for every Republican who brings a merited accusation of graveyard voting against the Democrats, there is a Democrat who has just as merited an accusation against the Republicans for wanting to make the right to vote into a privilege of those who deserve it.

Let’s move past the partisan squabble and ask the very serious question: How DO we insure that every citizen who is of age HAS the opportunity to cast the ballot of his or her choice? This is really not a partisan question. The idea that ANY citizen would be denied the right to vote in an election should make everyone upset, regardless of party or ideology.

The Democrats cannpt win without fraud, that’s why they’re opposed to voter ID
