A group called the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights is mounting legal challenges to state laws that require voters to show photo IDs before being allowed to cast ballots.

“Proponents of these laws say that they’re just trying to prevent voter fraud,” said Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights spokesman, Jonathan Crooke. “The problem is that any so-called anti-fraud measure always has a disproportionate impact on Democratic voters—many of whom are unemployed, poorly educated and non-English-speaking minorities.”

Crooke observed that it was ironic that many would-be Democratic voters who have solid photo IDs are barred from voting because the photo ID is a prison “mug shot.”

Poll Shows Support for Bill Clinton Policy Role in Hillary’s Administration

A USA Today/Gallup poll asked Americans about Bill Clinton’s possible role as First Spouse and found that 53 percent of Americans say they would like him to play an active policy-making role in his wife’s administration. 44 percent say they would prefer that he “diddle the hired help.”

Arlene Portman, a poll respondent from Arkansas, said she is looking forward to a resumption of the Clinton presidency. “We had peace and prosperity during the first Clinton Administration,” Portman said. “Hillary is hard to take, but it’s the price we have to pay to get Bill back in the White House.”

“Bush is boring,” said Chuck Walla, a respondent from Washington. “He’s all ‘fighting for freedom and democracy against the terrorists.’ I’m tired of it. I loved the sex, lies and video tape of the first Clinton Administration. I’m looking forward to more of the same in the second.”

I liked this blurb a bit more.

Kinda worries me about America, Jet : -)

Darn right they are. Especially the all-important Democrat cemetery resident and illegal alien constituencies.

‘Rats are worried, producing ID’s might cut down on voting by their base: graveyard voters, illegal aliens, etc.

Democratic voters—many of whom are unemployed, poorly educated and non-English-speaking minorities.

And I guess none of them can drive a car either. Vote democrat so you can stay lazy, stupid, and illiterate without consequence, BRILLIANT!

[Little Ray]

The proper response is “Yes, preventing vote fraud will have a disproportionate effect on Democrat votes.”

... poorly educated and non-English-speaking minorities.”

So they WANT uneducated people to vote that can't read the Ballot or understand the basis for their franchise? And these lawyers think themselves intelligent? Pitiful is more like it!
