(As far as bailouts, there should not be any.) I don't care what you call it. Why should a government offer a tax break to a business when its competitors are not getting one? Is that capitalism? Those receiving handouts will simply vote for the politicians who promises to steal the most from their neighbors. It's a a conflict of interest. Really there should be no federal social programs. What keeps them going are the hordes of moochers in the voting booth. And in the Senate and the House!!! |

The federal government should be reduced to about 10% of its current size and go back to funding itself via indirect taxes as was originally intended. And in the Senate and the House!!! They are of course the worst moochers of all. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roger Blake (Posts from Google Groups killfiled due to excess spam.)

And the modern Republican party is about as far from those ideals as it's possible to be. They specialize in gerrymandering districts to minimize the influence of minority voters. They look for new and innovative ways to disenfranchise minorities and the poor. And this has been going on for some time. They may have championed voting rights in the past but now they are focused on "voter fraud", a very rare occurrence, to prevent poor people from voting. Your assertion is absurd and unsubstantiated. "Voting rights", by definition, ensure those who are entitled to vote are able to do so, they also ensure that those who are not entitled to vote cannot do so. Your parroted talking points are illogical and irrational. I think that you need a nap. Are you saying that people who have voted in the past are no longer entitled to because they do not have a photo ID? That's absurd!! Considering one needs a photo ID to apply for food stamps, Aha! NOT!!! “The SNAP/Food Stamp caseworker is required to verify your identity. 7 CFR 273.2(f). There are many ways, however, that you may verify your identity. A photo ID is only one way. You should not be denied SNAP/Food Stamps simply because you do not have a photo ID. To prove who you are, you can use such things as a work or school ID, an ID for health benefits, an ID from another social services program such as TANF, wage stubs, a birth certificate, or a voter registration card. The SNAP/Food Stamp caseworker can also verify your identity by calling a “collateral contact” who can confirm you who are. Shelter workers and employers are examples of possible collateral contacts. If you have no paper documentation of who you are, you should ask the SNAP/Food Stamp caseworker to call a collateral contact." IMHO, those who object to proof of voter eligibility requirements have a sinister agenda. Likely it is born from the desire to allow all people to vote, citizen and non-citizen alike, but that is also my personal opinion. It is born from the desire that people who had been deemed eligible to vote in the past should not now be denied that right because they do not have a photo ID. Cui bono. For sake of argument, exactly what form(s) of ID would you consider acceptable to establish voter eligibility? ...a birth certificate, or a voter registration card. The SNAP/Food Stamp caseworker can also verify your identity by calling a “collateral contact” who can confirm you who are. |

This isn't 1880, any citizen who wishes to get a photo ID can do so, it simply means planning ahead and expending a small amount of effort. If you can not positively prove your identity and citizenship, you should not be allowed to vote. You wouldn't want your bank to hand your money out to someone without proper ID, how can you possibly advocate allowing people without positive ID to have a vote in controlling the largest bank in the world? With 11 - 20 million illegals in our country, it is imperative that we ensure the sanctity of the ballot box. |

Other states where the trend is already apparent Florida, Nevada, Colorado(34 electoral votes).

Don't be obtuse. Modern, state level, voter ID legislation targets non-citizens and others who are not eligible to vote. There is zero intent or desire to disenfranchise any citizen who is legally entitled to vote. You can produce no evidence to the contrary, only bloviating opinions. Your use of baseless ad hominem attacks, against those who happen to have a differing ideology, is morally reprehensible. |

Given the huge blocks of unbroken text it is nearly unreadable and it seems to talk mainly about Africans. The article certainly ignores the long history of black voter suppression by the Democrat party, members of which killed civil rights workers who attempted to encourage the black vote. The violence of Democrats against blacks and those who would aid them is a large part of that party's heritage. (As an old phart this is something I lived through and have personal memory of.) Given that you need to have identification to drive, to buy alcohol or cigarettes, board an airliner or Amtrak train, open a bank account, make use of a check cashing agency, and so many other things it is just common sense to have identification for voters. Of course this might have a negative effect on the voting rights of cemetary residents in Chicago.
