Congressman Rush Holt (D-NJ) is trying to keep military personnel overseas from voting. He is not going to succeed, but it is telling that he is trying.

Donks never change. If they can win by disenfranchising the military vote, they will do so in a heartbeat.

Note that Congressman Holt is launching his offensive just days before the election.

After the Kerry incident, this is REALLY playing with fire. They keep giving us all these gifts and it's not even Christmas yet!

What they're really pissed about is the Dems tried to hack into the system to hijack the votes and it appears that they couldn't, so they are 'questioning' the system because it is convenient.......

Let me see if I've got this right.

Allowing military men to vote by absentee ballot is "full of security holes" but allowing illegals and dead people to vote is not.

Sounds like Donkey logic.

I can only hope the American people can be alerted of this dichotomy by the news media.

Let me guess. A democrat? Do they really want to make matters worse with the military, right now?

So the Dem position is ID checks for military voters only?

With the great track record of military votes getting lost, missing the last airplane out, arriving to late to count, why in the heck wouldn't the Dims want to stop an efficent way to vote?

A trick earlier learned from the Gore/Lieberman campaign. You remember Joe, don't you? The same guy some FReepers would gladly welcome to the G.O.P.

The stalinist left cries big wet tears over the "poor, dumb troops"--no body armor, no up-armored HumVees, no ammo, no this, no that. Oh and by the way fellas, while you're in Iraq or any other God forsaken part of the world, any effort to cast a vote in the country you are defending will be slapped down. Courtesy of same stalinist left.

Patriots to Holt: sit down and shut up.

Disenfranchise the military, and give felons the right to vote. And no checking of IDs! Hypocrisy thy name is Democrat!

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.

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?

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