About time! You need an ID to cash a check, to drive a car, to get on an airplane, to get a job, to receive medical or Social Security benefits...who are these mythical creatures wandering the US without valid IDs? Are we to allow people not capable of obtaining a photo ID for themselves to decide the complex matters facing our cities, states and country? Should we help facillitate the fraud that is committed far too often in local, state and national elections?
The fact that there are too many narrowly won races that turn out to have had more people cast ballots than were registered to vote, requires that we do something to restore the integrity of our voting system. "One man one vote" means one man only one vote.
WASHINGTON — State legislatures across the country have passed a record number of laws this year requiring photo identification to vote, a controversial move pushed by Republicans and opposed by Democrats.
Proponents say the measures prevent vote fraud. Opponents say they are designed to stifle turnout among students, poor people and minorities, who are more likely to vote for Democrats but might lack government-issued IDs, such as driver's licenses and passports.
In California, those who do not wish to get a driver's license can obtain a state photo ID. How can you function in this society without a valid ID? Why would you want to? (Persons in the country illegally and those who commit voter fraud come to mind!)
David Axelrod, (Captain Combover) a top strategist in President Obama's re-election campaign, called the wave of new legislation a "calculated strategy" by Republicans to "hold down [illegal] voter turnout."
Color me surprised! I mean, why be content with flooding the airwaves with millions of dollars of dishonest advertising when you can put your thumb on the scale and eliminate those pesky ballots right at the source?
As if the situation in Wisconsin wasn't tense enough, it appears that one county in particular is going to a new extreme. This comes after word that there may have been voter fraud in the nonpartisan State Supreme Court election yesterday between incumbent David Prosser and JoAnne Kloppenburg.
For some reason one of the counties in the state is destroying ballots that 'were not counted' yesterday.
They may need more than a recount in Wisconsin. They may need a "do over".
"we went to (the) press, we went to Fox, we went to CNN- nobody wanted to hear the story" - documentary film maker and Democrat, Gigi Gaston.
We posted this video yesterday, but pay particular attention to the pull quote:
"we went to (the) press, we went to Fox, we went to CNN- nobody wanted to hear the story" - documentary film maker and Democrat, Gigi Gaston.
The allegations of voter intimidation that "no one wanted to deal with" in 2008 are now being brought to light. What's the difference between 2008 and 2010? How about eighteen months of the most dismal performance by a modern president?
The documentary which could not get a hearing or see the light of day in 2008, was because the tabula rasa that was Barack Obama was shiny and new and full of promise. Who could know at that time that he was nothing but promises and the promises he neither intended to or was able to keep?
But the novelty of being America's "golden boy", its first black president, has come and gone. The veneer of competence that he projected, despite the thinnest of résumés, has worn through. Other than shaving a few strokes off his golf game and spending our grandchildren's inheritance, can anyone name any substantive accomplishment of Barack Hussein Obama? On the contrary, most people can point to one or more areas where American has gone backwards. The space program is an excellent example of that. From JFK's vision of going to the moon in ten years, Obama has gutted NASA and redirected the shell that remains to tend to the touchy feely religion of global warming and "outreach" to the Muslim community. If we ever needed a source of renewable power, we could hook a generator up to JFK spinning madly in his grave over the lost legacy of space exploration.
The first shot across Obama's bow (bow! How apropos!), was James Carville's criticism over his handling of the BP oil disaster. This is phase two. As they say in the nature documentaries, the wounded Wildebeest has been cut off from the herd, and is surrounded. The meme of Obama's competence and potential lies shattered on the oil soaked beaches on the Gulf Coast, while he shanked a few balls on the eighteenth green.
If Obama stole the election, from whom did he steal it? Hillary. The "so and so stole the election" didn't work out so well for Gore, but then, Hillary is not the same sex crazed poodle as Al is.
This will just be one more weapon in the arsenal of Hillary-2012.
Update: I did a piece awhile back on the subject "Biden is toast". (Look for that to happen between now and the end of 2011.)
Now, perhaps I could start composing the "Obama is toast" companion piece?
UPDATED via LCR (shameless blogwhoring): Leslie Eastman has been busy studying Gigi Gaston's documentary, the Black Panthers and general team-Obama thuggery. She just put up the best post I have seen on the topic so far, along with a 'to-do' list for activists wanting to know how to stop this behavior going forward.
