Democrats have a political death wish. At least that's how it looks. There's no other explanation for their feverish push to take over the health care system when a huge majority of Americans are opposed to the plan. But facing an angry public, Democrats are scheming to find ways to manipulate the electoral process so they can cling to power even when voters want to kick the bums out.

Sen. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, and Rep. Barney Frank, Massachusetts Democrat, have plans to ram through legislation that will produce universal voter registration. No matter what they claim, the rule changes will make it possible for illegal aliens to register to vote and for others to register multiple times.

The proposal is to register everyone on every welfare list, everyone getting unemployment insurance, everyone with a driver's license, everyone who has had run-ins with the legal system, everyone owning any property - basically everyone on every list the government keeps. People will be registered to vote whether or not they want to be registered. If individuals are on any public record, they will be automatically registered.

Obviously a lot of illegal aliens have driver's licenses, and many get other government benefits. Quite a few have rap sheets...

The absolute most distressing thing to me is they keep being reelected and that reflects very poorly on the electorate.

No, it just reflects very well on their Acorn-paid vote-scamming abilities.

“How will they know what party to automatically register them as?”

You asked the $64,000 question.

As I see it, the rats are already voting at 100% of all eligible voters, sometimes 110%. Registering everyone will result in a small uptick of numbers for libs, while the conservative numbers will skyrocket by 50% or more. Unintended consequences, anyone?
