I agree with what you say, but at least half of the people in this country don't want "catch on". They are called Democrats and "government assistance" recipients and they want to perpetuate it and vastly EXPAND it. The other half are what I like to call 'people who have to WORK for what they want.' And, unfortunately, some of them succumb to Democrat LIEs, biased polls, MSM left-biased 'reporting', and single-issue conservative pessimism.

While I am mightily pissed at GW and the Congress for some of the things they've done (expanding Medicare, over-funding social programs, and not dealing with illegal invasion of this country), I will not allow myself to fall prey all of this by voting for a damned Democrat. I just won't.

I wouldn't accuse them of hypocrisy. They have always been about winning at any cost. In this they have been perfectly consistent. Suppressing the military vote helps them. Having felons vote helps them. Having illegals vote helps them.

By any means necessary.

Yes, he is. His district also represents Fort Monmouth military base which is closing - due to our Democrat representatives refusing to fight for its survival.

Allowing the military to vote by absentee ballot is not secure. But allowing people to vote WITHOUT ANY PROOF OF IDENTIFICATION OR RESIDENCY? That's secure.

Like you said, Rat logic at its "finest."

Wouldn't you know it that a Democrat would oppose members of the military having the opportunity to vote....

DISGUSTING RASCALS.

Kerry said his "bad joke" eight days before the election. When I was in Iraq, it usually took 10 days for a letter to go from Iraq to the U.S. He probably knew that he said it after absentee ballots needed to be mailed. He knew that, if a servicemember, in Iraq, wanted to vote against a Democrat, because of what he said, it was too late.

Democrats are 'for the military'---right up until the time comes to 'count their votes'!

Well, now the Democrats have their scapegoat for after they lose in four days. Same as the last time, curiously enough. They'll be able to blame everything on John Kerry, and not have to get all squishy and introspective about why the voters just don't like them very much.

I have to keep checking if these stories come from Scrappleface.

Or from Lord Haw-Haw . . .

Well, then, we'd better have no welfare, S.S. or any government programs using the internet or e-mail for anything involving personal information. Like job-seeking, benefit applications, licensing, etc. This must all be done by mail or in person, for the very reasons given by Holt. Right, Congressman Holt?

"Gee ... does this mean Dems are for Voter ID now?"


LOL...I guess so. I wish the dems would figure out if they are FOR EMAIL OR AGAINST EMAIL....lol

This brings up an interesting question.....The dems thought it perfectly ok to 'intercept' emails and IM's on Capitol Hill a few months back....yet, they don't think we should 'intercept' terrorists communicating via email or phone...and now they are against our military voting by Email!!

Has anyone asked Rep. Holt if he thinks the military should also be banned from emailing their families, etc as well?

Because to follow his tortured logic on this 'latest dem scam', it would seem an important question to ask......

I think we should go to a sticky note voting system- have the person write out "I vote for George Bush' or whatever & have them print hteir finger print on the note as well as a photo of hte person holding the note- problem solved- no software glitches, no hanging chads, no dead people voting!

There was a problem with the military ballots during the President's election. This should have been addressed long before today.

About 12 years ago I was coming out of the grocery store and there was a guy (democrat)there getting people registered to vote. One person said that they were an ex-convict and couldn't vote but the guy assured that person it was ok for ex-cons to vote.

Holt is lying and being an obstructionist because he knows very well that the military vote will no go for the Democrats. This is another way to disenfanchise Republican Voters.

Rush Holt votes against every military appropriation out there. He did little or nothing to save Ft. Monmoth. He is a former Princeton University professor. Does that tell you anything.
