Duplicity is the name of the game for America’s liberals. It has been standard practice of the Democratic Party for decades to create a problem through poorly conceived and unrealistic legislation, decry and obstruct any attempts by Republicans to fix the problems the Democrats created as “racist,” sexist,” or any of the other myriad of “-ists” they concoct, and then when the problem is not solved, blame the Republicans for doing nothing about it.
There is no “vast left wing conspiracy” orchestrating all of this deceit from behind the scenes. No secret bunker under Berkley’s city hall where Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy and Oliver Stone meet to lay out their stratagems to destroy our society. But the intellectually inconsistent train wreck of philosophical thought that constitutes what America’s liberals believe today has the same affect. Combine a lack of vision, the refusal to accept the consequences of decisions, and a pit bull’s determination to twist any issue for the sake of political expediency, and you have the Democratic Party’s plan for America. The problem with this situation is that we are not playing a game. America is faced with serious issues today that require the utmost seriousness and political courage, and any party that decides to play politics with these issues puts the entire country at risk.
For example, for the second time in a row, America’s Presidential election has been marred with accusations of voter fraud and intimidation. Despite the fact it was Republican campaign offices that were vandalized, vans intended to be used by Republicans to get their voters to the polls that had their tires slashed, and former Senator Tom Daschell’s attorney who was forcibly removed by sheriffs for disrupting a polling station, Democrats are still trying to claim Republicans stole the 2004 Election.
Missing from these liberal tirades espousing their various psychotic conspiracy theories about how John Ashcroft used military radio waves from Area 51 control the minds of Democratic voters to make watching television more appealing than voting for John Kerry, most of the mess leading to the fraud allegation are a result the Democrat’s much beloved “Motor Voter Bill” making it impossible to create accurate voter registration records. When the federal government creates a system where any organization can recruit people to sit around and get $2 for every person they get to register to vote and offer no supervision or verification procedures, you get what you have in the 2004 Election. Get out the vote “volunteers” filling out fraudulent registration forms just to collect the offered fees, incomplete and inaccurate forms, and thousands of people who may want to vote, but have no concept of how, where, or when to do it. The Motor Voter Act has created legions of voters who may or may not exist, may or may not know how to vote, and may but probably will not show up to vote unless they remember after registering to vote for the 23rd time at the local grocery store.
Now let us add another issue liberals love into the mix, illegal immigration. Currently liberals and some other groups are up in arms over House Republicans adding the “Right ID Act” as a rider into the new Congressional appropriations measure to fund the War on Terror and Tsunami relief efforts. With Pavlov like predictability, Senate Minority Leader Bill Frist has promised to fight the measure on grounds that it is racist, discriminatory, sexist, and so forth. How dare Republicans try to actually do something to make the country safer from international terrorists! The recommendations of the 9/11 Commission where supposed to be talking points for John Kerry to use to criticize the President, not actually enact. But the Right ID Act does more than just make it harder for international terrorists to infiltrate our country, it also makes it less likely that illegal aliens, in general, can register to vote.
Under the Motor Voter Act, all you need to register to vote in many states is a valid drivers’ license. That does not seem so bad on the surface until you realize that there are currently 10 states that allow illegal aliens to attain valid state issued identification identical to that of any United States citizen. There is no way to prevent an illegal alien from registering to vote when there is no way to differentiate them from anyone else. The Real ID Act would put an end to this conflict by requiring states to distinguish between the identifications of citizens and immigrants. If you do not have the proper ID, then you are not a United States Citizen, therefore, ineligible to participate in our elections.
Seems pretty simple, but it is not. Despite the fact that Mohammad Atta could have voted for Al Gore in Florida in the 2000 Election, Democrats have refused to enforce this basic of national sovereignty. In fact, many liberal groups, such as the ACLU, have actively worked against any effort to verify the citizenship requirements of suspect registered voters calling it “intimidation.”
So Democrats and liberals work against a much needed measure that would prevent voter fraud, and then lead the charge in hurling voter fraud allegations. In the end, the Democrats want to have their cake and eat it too. They obstruct any effort to reform the flawed Motor Voter Act because they are trying to protect the “oppressed.” Then when something happens that they do not like, such as losing another election, they have a ready made, prepackaged, “voter irregularity” excuse to once again claim that they are protecting the “oppressed.” The Democrats are trying to protect nobody but themselves. Their only goal is the reacquisition of political power and any price, even the destruction of out national sovereignty, is well worth paying.

Frist is not the minority leader as stated in the article.
Interesting take on two different issues.
This is nothing new- the rats have screamed for paper ballot machines as a front to make people believe elections were flawed- they could care less is the people voting on these machines or legit or not.
I have never seen that before and I have tried to follow Real ID's progression.
There were objections to Real ID because it would allow other amendments and some thought that reform should be stand alone.
Most news articles on the internet say that Real ID will pass. Even Reid stated that the dems will not fight it.
Is the current version of the real ID act somewhat watered down from the first draft?
I haven't seen that in the media.
I can't cite it, but thought I'd heard some provisions were negotiated out. While I hope it doesn't turn into a true national ID, I at least hope it will be required for voting. I am convinced the dems have abused the voting booth far more than we probably will ever know. Multiple votes, dead voters, felons, etc.
Electronic voting without a paper trail is just begging for a few hackers in the DNC basement in DC to play with. And they will....
The asylum part I could care less.
The fence extension seems like a waste of money.
Totally agree. What's the big problem about providing what would be, in effect, a numbered, traceable receipt? I would think it a simple procedure.
