Press Releases Contact: Brendan Daly/Nadeam Elshami 202-226-7616 For Immediate Release 04/28/2008 Pelosi Statement on Supreme Court Decision on Voter ID
Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s decision today on Indiana’s voter identification case:
“The Supreme Court’s decision is disappointing. The Court’s decision today places obstacles to the fundamental rights of American citizens—especially the poor, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities—to participate in the electoral process. Requiring American citizens pay for underlying documents needed for an identification card and travel to distant motor vehicle locations for processing hinders—and diminishes—their right to vote.
“The right to vote is a foundation of our democracy. American citizens who wish to vote must be able to do so.”
Perhaps you’re unaware of just how dangerous it is to travel in rural Indiana, what with all those bitter, gun toting Bible thumpers and all.
OK, now I’m back on the “you don’t get it” wagon with you.
LIBERALS ARE DISHONEST.
Period.
They never state their real reasons for taking whatever position they are taking, because those reasons are abhorrent to most folks.
Example:
Obama is exposing the left’s reason for taxation as a means of punishment and socialism, even though he’s been trying to back away from his claim of “fairness” of the cap gains tax.
But I thought the Supreme Court was the Godlike ultimate arbiter of all moral questions, e.g., Roe v. Wade. How dare a Democrat question the almighty supreme oracle!
Are you trying to make Pelosi's argument for her? No, the Constitution doesn't mandate photo identification to cast a ballot -- this was deemed necessary due to all the voter fraud going on this country. Identifying yourself at the polling place is a method to ensure that people do not/cannot cast multiple ballots, and it's not enough to simply have the gal behind the table attempt to compare signatures in the book and on your ballot.
I don't live in California, and besides, I suspect that exposure to sanity and reason might have the effect of Kryptonite on Ms. Pelosi. She'd start to glow and soon there'd be nothing left but a designer dress and a sad little puddle of Botox and DNA. What the hell, it's worth a try...
So what Pelosiis saying is that fat lazy slobs who couldn’t get off their asses if they were on fire or others who only vote in a negative context (i.e. against something rather than for it) and who wouldn’t vote unless the forms were shoved under their noses - these people won’t get to vote. Well good they are probably Democrats anyway - or is that the real problem.
Isn’t it funny how some people will travel thousands of miles to fight for freedom at the risk of their own lives and some lazy b3stards won’t walk down the street to exercise the freedoms they already have.

“...especially the poor, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities...”
Absentee ballot?
And when you find it, call up the Supreme Court tell them they are incorrectly ruled, not once, but twice that there is no right to vote in a federal election.
Even if you are here, there, or yonder. Vote early and often!
As that great purveyor of democracy once said "It's not who votes that counts, it who counts the votes that count".
Happy day indeed! Our voter ID law is upheld!
Take that Dems!
I already posted it to you, Article IV, Section 4 guarantees a Republican Form of Government. Let me help you with the definition:
republic n 1 : a government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and is usually a president; also : a nation or other political unit having such a government
2 : a government in which supreme power is held by the citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives governing according to law; also : a nation or other political unit having such a form of government
entitle verb (used with object),-tled, -tling.
1. to give (a person or thing) a title, right, or claim to something; furnish with grounds for laying claim:
Easy been doing it for years with voting machines, now we have computer based machines, that practically make it a science.
Used to be harder, had to have corrupt officials on both sides in a precinct to get the deed done. Then again corrupt people are much easier to buy these days. Sigh.....
The constituency they are no doubt most worried about reside in cemeteries.
Jim Webb would not be in the Senate today and the Democrats would not be in the majority but for the thousands of illegal aliens who voted in the Virginia election after being signed up at Hispanic festivals and storefronts. Webb won by 9000 votes. Hispanic illegal alien advocacy groups and the Democrat party actively signed up these illegals in voter drives that had no oversight or checks by voting registrars.
Every politician is aware of this fraud, but the Democrats gleefully continue advancing it, and the Republicans don’t have the guts to fight back less they be thought of as racist bigots.
Give him time....McLame will condemn the decision, just to appease his fellow DUmocrats.
“...power is held by the citizens entitled to vote...”
I disagree. In “...power is held by the citizens entitled to vote...”, the (who are) is implied. Many citizens are not permitted to vote, for reasons mentioned in previous postings. In your definition, it says “to give a title, right or claim to something...”, not a title, right, AND claim. You can claim something without it being yours. I claim to be head of my household. My wife disagrees.
If we were entitled to vote, that right could not be taken away, even temporarily.
The Poor, the elderly and individuals with disablities ALL hve ID!!! You can do NOTHING without ID!! The ILLEGALS might not have the proper ID to vote, but everyone else does.
butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth.
Must have thought about meeeting his MAKER!
