Come on GOP, instead of "voter suppression", how about "good policy"?

Typical troll. Post n run

Instead of straw men, why don't you bother actually arguing issues?

 

[WillowTree]

Come on GOP, instead of "voter suppression", how about "good policy"?

That's it. A "simple" question. Why all the voter suppression when you could win America over, and very easily, with "good policy".

And please:

No "there is no voter suppression". We all know there is.

No "but we have good policy". We all know you don't. You can't even describe it.

Even most Republicans believe rebuilding America's infrastructure is "good policy".

No true Christian believes in "Every man for himself". It's against everything that religion stands for.

It's time to come up with a "new argument". So, once again:

Come on GOP, instead of "voter suppression", how about "good policy"?

why don't you tell us in detail what steps you would take to ensure the American people that voter fraud will not take place?

Trolls don't bother with such details. No time

This is not a left or right thing.
Voter fraud has been proven in both parties.
The left is angry because it isn't their policy and something that they came up with.
Why doesn't the democrats help the people who need to get FREE ID's. Photo's are needed for many things now, not just for voting.
ID's stops the dead from voting as well as voting several times,instead of only once.

Democrats know they have a lock on the felon vote.

Not really. I'm a felon and I don't vote for the welfare crowd.

 

[Oldstyle]

Yes it is.

there is no need for the IDs and that was proven by a five year BUSH study.

There is not fraud of this type that is capable of changing even local election results.

THERE ARE legal American voters who would be forced out of their right to vote by these laws.


Why is the right for WASTING TAX DOLLARS to the tune of MILLIONS to effect nothing but keeping legal voters from voting?

There is no "need" for IDs? So how's this going to work then? We just walk into whatever polling place we feel like in whatever State we feel like...tell them that we're legal to vote and pull the lever? And if I'm a Republican in a solid conservative State can I take a jaunt across State lines and vote in a race that's too close to call instead of voting in my own?

Having valid ID in order to vote is such a common sense thing that it's ludicrous to even argue against it.

 

[Truthmatters]

we already have a system that doesnt require IDs and it has worked for hundereds of years

Yep, and of course according to you "good policy" is Big Government spending programs, and new Taxes on the Productive.

I've always provided a picture ID. And it's worked for not quite a hundred years..

 

[Oldstyle]

For many years people weren't required to have valid drivers license to operate a vehicle...should we go back to that?

So why is it that you think we shouldn't have to have ID to vote...the most important act an American performs...but you don't seem to have a problem with all the other facets of our lives where an ID is required?

 

[Oldstyle]

People are refused the right to drive a car because they can't properly answer questions in a written test to prove that they know enough of the rules of the road not to be a hazard.

We don't make people pass a test to vote...what we DO is ask them to provide a valid ID.

By the way? Making people pass a test to vote makes more sense than making them pass a test to drive. Electing an idiot effects us all...driving yourself into a tree not so much. But if THAT were ever proposed I can just imagine the howls of protest from the Left. Judging from what I've seen from you here, TM? You'd be sitting home on election day. Just saying...

Voter fraud has been proven and people have gone to jail for it. From both parties TM.
The majority of people in almost all of the states wanted voter fraud laws.
The people spoke and the state legislators responded.

Come on GOP, instead of "voter suppression", how about "good policy"?

For conservatives, anything that gives the GOP an unfair advantage is ‘good policy.’

Telling and troubling are such examples as found in North Carolina, where efforts are being made to decrease the days allowed to vote. What is the right afraid of? How can every American exercising his right to vote be a cause for concern?

Of course conservatives cite such nonsense as ‘voter fraud’ and budgetary concerns as ‘justification’ for decreasing days/hours to vote, but we know for a fact that ‘voter fraud’ is virtually non-existent, and no cost is too high to ensure every American’s voice is heard.

Asking people to provide the same amount of ID in order to vote that they'd need to cash a freaking check at the bank isn't voter suppression and your continued attempts to make it so are just as amusing now as they were two years ago.

The issue isn’t voter ID alone, it’s the ongoing effort to place as many hurtles before lower income, working class voters – perceived by the right as ‘likely democratic voters’ – in an effort to give republicans an advantage.

Also, you don’t have a right to own or access a bank account, there is a fundamental right to vote. Although ID requirements are Constitutional, the analogy fails as excessive burdens may not be created with regard to the right to vote.

Dead people, cartoon characters and illegal aliens don't vote for good policy. They vote for Democrats.

Beneficiaries of numerous government programs, who own big screens, cell phones, and have government provided vehicles, are suddenly too frail to get an ID, open a bank account, or otherwise meet the requirements that will prevent voter fraud?

Please.

Come on Clayton...requiring a valid ID isn't an "excessive burden". My point was that there are so many other facets of modern life that DO require positive ID that it's ridiculous that we don't require it of people who are getting ready to do the most important thing that citizens do in a democracy...vote.

Unfortunately, the GOP is mezmiried by their number one stated goal of getting Obama out of the White House. You need to throw all ration and logical thoughts out the window. They are pulling out all stops in their obsession to get the black man out of DC.

But the number one "not so secret" weapong for the Dems is now the frontrunner for the GOP. Newt will eventually melt like a snowball in Hell in his quest for the WH. Let's hope that he is the nominee when that happens, unlike Bachmann, Perry, and Cain who showed their true colors a tad too early..

I feel that's exactly the case. But right wingers insist it's Obama's "radical" agenda. But ask them to explain and they come up with weird shit that you would have to be coo-coo to believe. In fact, many on the left feel Obama is too far right.

I don't know. Maybe to the party of "let him die", he is too radical.
