Voter ID: A “Who’s Who” Of The Electorate
Radiofree West Hartford ^ | September 30, 2006 | Doug Wrenn

Posted on 09/30/2006 8:30:56 AM PDT by CTposterBoy

I have seen billboards that are harder to read than liberal Democrats. This is a group of people with no vision. They complain without offering solutions. When they do complain, they cannot do so without resorting to personal attacks. They offer nothing but vitriol. They don’t have a platform, they have a paragraph, “Republicans are evil, we hate Bush and get us out of Iraq.” When I was of the age and size to play in a sandbox, a common argument closer was, “Just because.” The Democrats are still playing in the sand box. “Just because” doesn’t get you far when you surpass five feet tall and start growing hair in places where it never before existed, and then changes colors to add to your aging misery, so the desperate Dems must resort to tactics that fall just shy of “Shanghaiing” sailors. They want convicted felons to vote (as if they would anyway), they want illegal immigrants to vote, and now, they don’t want voters to have to show identification. When you offer no real vision or platform, you have to get votes any way you can, but at least you can then call yourself a “big tent.” So, realizing that barring the two “fringes” (in more ways than one) of the country, America’s patriotic and logically thinking bread basket majority doesn’t buy the Dem drivel, the “De(m)ceivers” continue to stuff that “big tent” with every conceivable type of voter, real, imagined, legitimate, or dead, they can get their hands on. The Dems, after all, are used to stuffing things. They stuffed enough ballot boxes in Texas and Chicago in 1960 to elect themselves a President. Forty-six years later, the names and faces have changed, but the underhanded tactics from their sordid playbook have not.

Like kids when they learn a swear word, Dems embrace a word and never let go. With Dick Cheney, it was “gravitas.” Now, with voters, it is “disenfranchise.” No, that 95-cent word does not mean the local burger eatery has closed. It means that like in 2000, when the Dems, led by three guys named Al, Joe, and “Chad” kept trying to recount the votes until they could jumble the numbers their way. Dems love victims. Victims are the lifeblood of dependence, which is synonymous with the Democrat party. Dems are to victims what a dealer is to an addict, a benevolent predator. If it’s not “the children,” it’s another created victim’s group, like minorities, the poor, the elderly, etc. So, in 2000, the Dems spoke for these victims, as if they all thought in sinc, in much the same convoluted way that feminists so arrogantly and ignorantly believe that they speak for all women. So, in 2000, the whole putrid “chad” saga gave rise to a new and trendy sound byte, “disenfranchise.” Many of these victims did not even know they were “disenfranchised,” let alone victims, until they were told, or rather, convinced. Now the fleecing of the lemmings continues, as the Dems try to scheme, stretch and stuff their way to victory for the power of the party, and America be damned. Yes, those evil Republicans actually now want to “disenfranchise” voters by making them have identification before they can vote in federal elections. Gasp! What will the GOP demand of America’s victims next, personal responsibility?

This past week, the House of Representatives passed the Federal Election “Integrity”(bristle, bristle!!) Act of 2006 (HR 4844) by a vote of 228-196. The bill requires proof of both citizenship and identity of voters. It now leaves the “hot cup” of the House and is onto the “cooling saucer” of the Senate. As we Catholics would say, “Say a Novena.” But for now, electoral security has won the battle, if not the war. Back in the cheap seats, the “Boo, hiss” crowd is already throwing around terms like “disenfranchisement,” “voter suppression,” and even drawing an analogy to the former poll tax, which is ludicrous. No one is calling for a poll tax. A brief written quiz on knowledge of government issues and current events would be preferable for real electoral integrity, but I doubt I will ever see such common sense instituted in my lifetime. Heaven forbid mind-numbed robots, addicted to sports, porno and reality TV, who cannot even name their representative member of Congress be barred from screwing up yet another election for those of us who still walk upright, don’t drool, are warm to the touch, can use words with more than one syllable, actually pay attention to what is going on around us, and don’t need a coin to flip when casting our vote.

The Dems, while utterly bereft of scruples, are strategically right in demanding that voters not be required to show proper ID and proof of citizenship. After all, anything to the contrary would royally impede their brainstorms to allow felons and illegal immigrants to vote. Having had professional dealings with both of those pillars of society, I am up to their shenanigans as well. Asking a con for ID is like asking a toddler to articulate Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. Once you get past, “Huh?” it just ain’t happening. As for illegals, if they have any ID, it’s as phony as Monopoly money. But disenfranchisement? BZZZZ! Wrong answer! Sorry, maniacal screamers, human Botox pincushions, fiction filmmakers, wealthy international government bankrupters, and your lock step, sociopath followers. Now, you just blew that two week, all expense paid trip to Hawaii, and can instead bring home the second runner up prize, a baby elephant named Lu-Lu with a chronic digestive problem, but thanks for playing “Name That Talking Point.”

"Just because..."

The other liberal catchphrase is
"It's not fair!"

"Fair" meaning the outcome they desire, "not fair" meaning anything else.

Libs conveniently forget that on 9/11 they were there right along with everyone else thanking God that Al Gore wasn't President.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com why is it that in mexco you have to give your FINGERPRINTS to get a voting card but here in the USA the RATs all whine about Picture-ID??? even welfareRATs have PICTURE ID now days!!! so... it must be the impact it will have on ILLEGAL voting that they are afraid of.

What liberal Democrats refuse to accept is that they are the reason for these laws. Stop trying to give voting rights to corpses, cons and illicit border crossers, and you won't have to endure the laws enacted upon you at which you so bristle

Bingo!

In many states the regular voter
is issued a new voter card every
few years; of course, these cards
are minus a picture. This voter
is normally recognized as a regular
in his neighborhood polling place.
Democrats violently object when a
voter shows up without a card and
is challenged by the judges...which
is one of the main reasons the judges
are on the premises.
I suggest the new card be issued at the
time an alien takes the oath of
allegiance to the United States of
America and receives his citizenship
authorization.
As for THIS election...mandatory two
proofs of Identification, one with
a picture. No proof...no vote.

This is just utterly ridiculous on the part of the Dims.

You are disenfranchised if you are required to show ID to vote?

Well then. Let's take the next logical steps, shall we?

All laws requiring you to show ID to purchase cigarettes are disenfranchising young people and should be abolished.

How about those pesky laws requiring you to show ID to purchase a gun? How about those background checks? How unfair to minorities who grew up in broken homes and bad neighborhoods, who may have done some 'things' when young and stupid.

Picture ID to get on a plane? Ridiculous! If a Middle Eastern looking man in his 20's tells the TSA his name is Robert O'brien, why should he be required to prove it??

Driver's license with your picture on it? Disenfranchising those poor Hispanics?

My God, the ID bill even gives the poor FREE government ID's!!

If requiring a photo ID to vote is unconstitutional (according to a number of court rulings), then ALL requirements for photo ID are unconstitutional.

Liberals are quick to point out polls that support their position. Well, if they wish to do that, then let's point out the poll that shows that 81 PERCENT of Americans WANT the Photo ID requirement. That is HUGE! And, that means that a large percentage of Democrats, Hispanics, Blacks also want it and do not seem to think it is a problem as all peeples should ALREADY HAVE government issued photo ID.

The only question is why are the Congressional Dims so against this?

Ah, we all know the answer to that one!

Contrast the attempts to stop voter ID's for elections with the pain and suffering necessary to by a $2.00 box of generic Sudaphed. Wally-world requires you to register name address and phone number, sign your HIPPA waiver and, for each and every purchase, present ID and sign. They claim its due to Federal regulations. I sarcastically asked the clerk if the same regimen was applied to the purchase of an anonymous Tracfone, but the poor dear didn't have a clue.

Where is the outcry for the sneezing poor?

Think that's bad? The rules get tougher tomorrow, the start of the new gubermint fiscal year! You must now pay for the purchase right then and there. I wonder if an assistant manager has to escort you out to your vehicle before you are allowed to continue shopping. If I ever buy them again - hey, they are cheap, they work for my allergies, and don't shut down the ole plumbing as do the other OTC name brands - I will use the most expensive transaction method for payment (AMEX).

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the Oct. 1 regulations included a national purchase registry. I was ambivalent on the WOD but now am convinced it has become the WOLAC, meaning law-abiding citizens.

Not only would I love to see voter ID's implemented, but I'd also love to see the practice of labor union members "helping" certain people while in the ballot box that I've heard has gone on in a number of places !!!

Dems are to victims what a dealer is to an addict, a benevolent predator.

Dems are predators, but they're not benevolent.
