Not to mention that the vote was 7-2.

I don’t have to prove a damn thing to some stiff sitting in a chair at the polling place.

So, neither does the illegal, the felon, or the union thug voting at the third district that day? Just askin'...

By the way, I serve as one of those "stiffs"...

:^)

[JimRed]

Amending comment: that was supposed to be “busload of union thugs”...

[null and void]

We should apply Mexican law as a precedent.

In Mexico, THE Senior document is the VOTER ID CARD!

I’ll still be damned if I ever have to show my ID to anyone ================== Then don't show your ID. It'll be one less vote for a radical. Just stay at home. No one will miss you.

I’ll still be damned if I ever have to show my ID to anyone to prove I’m a citizen and that I am eligible to vote. If they keep me from voting I’ll slap the biggest damn lawsuit on the state they’ve ever seen. I don’t have to prove a damn thing to some stiff sitting in a chair at the polling place.

Your mini-rant has to be one of the most illogical, idiotic, and self-defeating (conservatively speaking) comments I have ever read on this forum. Wow!

Erik Latranyi ~ This may be a turning point in history.

Thermalseeker ~ Considering that the next POTUS will likely nominate several SCOTUS Justices in his or (God Forbid) "her" first term, I'd say that is likely a gross understatement......

Counterpunch said this on another thread:

Hell yeah Hillary would put him on the Supreme Court. That way she could get rid of him but the rest of us never could.

The way I see it, it’s the perfect arrangement. Bill would get real power for life, which is what he really wants, and because of the separation of powers, he would be forced to stay out of Hillary’s business so she could be president all on her own, something that Bill would never let happen otherwise.

Are you old enough to vote?

If you have to identify yourself with a photo ID to buy medicine

It should be obvious from his post that he doesn’t buy medicine. His post reflects extreme anger that could only come from someone out of control, perhaps a Clinton supporter.

You must be a democrat.

I, too, am one of those stiffs and yes, by God, you should have to PROVE you are a US citizen to vote in our country.

I was in a Walmart one day after an election and hearing all this "oh those poor people who don't have an ID" discussions and I asked the gal at one of the counters if she had ever seen a poor person who didn't have ID. She told me NO they all have drivers licenses.

One time before I was politically involved a friend went in the Army and used my address as her permanant mailing address. for years I got her voter card. I didn't realize it then but found out later I could have gone to an early voter station and voted with her card (no ID, the perfect voter who has their card) and then on voting day I could have gone to my precinct and voted my name.

YES you should HAVE to show ID, WITH your voter card to VOTE.

WHY do you think the Dems are pushing amnesty so hard before the next election? They aborted all their little liberal babies and need the voters, illegal, dead or pets. Any name on the list can be used for fraud if people don't vote it themselves.

LOL!

Spot on!

[Thermalseeker]

I hadn't actually noodled it out that far, but now that you mention it, it seems plausible. Hey, this is New Years, not Halloween! Enough with the scary stories!

[VOA]

It is absolutely absurd to not have to show photo ID to vote.

In a time when a person has to produce a photoID for the smallest
of loan transactions (due to the USA Patriot Act)...it just doesn't
make sense to have have the same requirement for voting.

Homeless people wanting to vote might face the most difficulty under the law. While the state will provide a voter ID card free of charge to the poor, applicants still must have a birth certificate or other documentation to get the ID card.

In other words, you must prove that you are legal to be able to vote, to be legal to be able to vote.

There is way too much common sense going on in Indiana, SCOTUS will have to depend on kennedy voting the correct way or we will have rampant, no double rampant, voter fraud in 2008.

[MarkT]

Your position is the height of foolishness. Yopu have to identify yourself (photo id) to rent a damn movie from blockbuster, get on a plane, get a passport. Protecting the national franchise is every bit as important. Grow up.

[null and void]

I’m just quoting counterpunch.

Thanks, and Happy New Year!

'Bout two weeks ago I had to show TWO forms of FEDERALLY ACCEPTED ID to renew my friggin' PO Box, even though I've had for 22 years and everybody that works at the Post Office there knows me on a first name basis. This is probably also related to the Patriot Act. This renewal was the first of it's kind I'd seen and it's the first time I've ever shown the Post Office ID for anything beyond Certified or Registered mail.

Interestingly, my FEDERALLY ISSUED pilot's license couldn't be used as a valid ID. I had to show up with my passport and my TN driver's license. It should be common knowledge by now that Tennessee issues driver's licenses to illegals if they bring in a power bill or phone bill to show "residency" and the state has been doing that for some time now. Guess the Feds aren't paying attention...I'm SHOCKED!

It is fun to watch the Dims twist and shout about why folks should not have to produce a photo ID to vote, though.....
