Hillary: Why I Oppose Stopping Election Fraud

Hillary Clinton is remarkably candid in explaining why she was one of only two U.S senators to vote against even a weak attempt to stop election fraud.

"This would make it more difficult to vote in New York," she told the New York Post.

Yes, it's such an agonizing ordeal when people have to reach back, take their wallet out of their pocket or purse, find their driver's license or Social Security card, stick the card back in the wallet, and stow the wallet. It's cruel and inhumane.

Of course, Democrat fraud was so much easier in the good old days when a New Yorker merely had to sign his name - or anyone's name - to "prove" his identity before voting.

The new measure certainly won't do Hillary's future presidential campaign any good.

The "surprising opposition" of Hillary and fellow New York Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer "angered even some Democrats, who had worked for months to win a broad compromise," the Post reported today.

Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., gave a "sharp rebuke" to Hill and Chuck, and said the bill was supposed to help the country, not any one state.

"I'm not in the Connecticut Assembly or the New York ... Assembly. I'm serving the United States Senate. I was under the impression that we were serving the country here," Dodd said sarcastically.

This should be a gold mine for Pubbies. Every day people show driver's licenses when using a credit card or cashing a check. This is another example of just how out of touch Hillary Clinton is with mainstream America.

Hillary is the biggest proof yet that our government representatives should not be chosen by just anyone who happens to make it to the voting booth.

Voting is a privilege and should be taken seriously. Personally I think there should be a difficult civics test administered when registering and all who cannot pass, cannot vote.

One can only wonder why Chucky and Hitler-y are afraid of id verification in order to vote.

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

The truth is there in the first comment! Which party is she concerned about inconveniencing?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Because dead people can't reach their wallet (although the government sure can).

[okie01]

"Which party is she concerned about inconveniencing?"

Once she gains control, voting itself will become inconvenient...

[Lunatic Fringe]

Voting is a privilege and should be taken seriously.

No, voting is a right not a privilege. I think you are getting confused with driver's licenses... but that's understandable with the "Motor Voter" laws.

"This would make it more difficult to vote in New York," she told the New York Post.

Especially for New Jersey residents, convicted felons, dead people, and professional voters.

The Civilian Marksmanship Program will no longer accept Voter's Registration Cards as proof of U.S. citizenship.

It makes you think, doesn't it?

[GregoryFul]

Nightmare scenario: Retired, 78 year old, former senator, Frank Lautenburg (D, NJ stand-in dummy for Torricelli) wins (likely) then steps down --- newly minted NJ resident, William J. Clinton, is appointed to complete Lautenburs's term. Liberals go into paroxysms of joy!

Think it is outlandish? Check back in two years...

LOL!

[Mr. Mulliner]

It was treated as a privilege and not a right by our Founding Fathers. Not everyone could vote. It was reserved for those who had more at stake and would take therefore take it seriously.

I don't think they'll wait two years.

re: post #10

LOL!!

Somebody do us a huge favor and take those Clintoons out!

"Hillary Rodham Clinton, friend to the working felon."

LOL!!! She sure ought to be. In the course of her and beloved hubby Bill's political careers, many of the Clinton FOB's, dear friends and acquaintences they have encountered along the hard clawing road to the WH and Senate have served prison terms.

[ladyinred]

Of course Hillary is against any measure that would make election fraud more difficult! She might not be Senator if it were not for the particular talent RATS have to cheat at the polls! That she would admit to it is astounding, but will it hurt her? Nah!

"...Personally I think there should be a difficult civics test administered when registering and all who cannot pass, cannot vote..."

Own a home, or a business, have an honorable discharge from the service, etc.?

You may vote.

Homeless, retarded, no property, no speaka da English, etc.?

You have no stake, and no business voting.

Land,home or business owner.
