The Other Shoe has Dropped

I am glad he did. I dont have to produce an id in KY so why produce one in Texas?

There isnt anything Obama wont do to get elected again so i hope all you folks and those who want another party in power get out and vote cuz the democrats will go the extra mile on this. Hell, Obama came right out and told out PM Harper he had to stop the Canada-US pipeline due to the protests of green power as he needs their votes to get back in. He doesnt give a rats ass about your employment or economy only his own selfish ass. You cant let someone like that get back into power.

The last time I voted in Ky I had to show ID. Do you really not know why we should show ID in every state???????????????

Because you show it when you register. I find it odd that you show an id, going to ask around tomorrow at work and see who else is asked for an id. You aint hispanic or black are ya?

Well I guess that my dead uncle is registered to vote and I could vote in his name with no ID. The grave yards are full of registered voters.

What does color have to do with anything? Why do folks try to bring color into everything? I could give a crape about anyone's color!

I have to show an ID to vote...as everyone should. The integrity of the voting process to elect the most powerful official figure in the World should be nothing less. If you can't get a picture ID and show it to prove who you are when you sign in at the poll, your ass doesn't need to be able to vote. Period. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise.

Seems like to me the topic of this conversation is color. Why else would they want it in Texas? Too many dead people voting I guess.

So you don't vote? My bad, I thought I might be debating with someone versed in the subject!

I was just getting ready to tell Parker that, if he doesn't know anything about the political process to stay away from the voting places. We already have too many ignorant people voting for they know not who or what. No offense but he sounds like someone too young to be voting.

In the state where I live, we have to show photo ID to obtain or renew our drivers license, buy car insurance, pay taxes, buy cigarettes, buy beer (I don't smoke or drink), register to vote, buy a concealed weapon permit, hunting license, fishing license, buy a car, sign legal documents, open a bank account, obtain a loan, buy a marriage license.....and the list goes on. I don't understand the big deal about presenting a voter ID card and/or an Immigrant ID if they want to vote. They should already have a box full of ID cards.

This thing seems like it is an effort by Obama to make provisions for illegal aliens to vote and, if he does, they will naturally vote for him.

Since when? I am getting ready to be 45-years-old in a couple of weeks. I don't think I have ever missed an election and I have never gotten to vote without showing a picture ID and signing my name on the sheet in the voter registry.

I say, since we don't have to prove who we are, we rent a couple of vans and drive down to Texas to vote in some of their elections!

When folks don't vote they don't show ID! Also Tim if they don't keep up with current events they don't need to vote anyway!

-When you register you show Id to prove you are the person registering. When you vote, you should show Id to prove that the same person registered, is the person voting against that registered name. Otherwise "Miquel" registers, and "Juan posing as" does the voting.

-IMO you have to be a citizen to vote, and so prove of govt id proves you are entitle to vote. I got not beef with that.

- Yes there are other foreign nationals in the US, but not nearly so many as:

Nationality of Illegal Aliens
The nationalities of the illegal immigrant population in 2000 as estimated by DHS and the Census Bureau and in 2010 by DHS are as follow:

2000 CB 2000 INS 2010 DHS
Mexico 3,871,912 4,808,000 6,640,000
El Salvador 336,717 189,000 620,000
Guatemala 238,977 144,000 520,000
Honduras n/a 138,000 330,000
Philippines 155,239 85,000 280,000
India 200,306 70,000 200,000
Ecuador 105,197 108,000 180,000
Brazil n/a 77,000 180,000
Korea 182,621 55,000 170,000
China 226,896 115,000 130,000
All others 3,387,556 1,211,000 1,550,000
8,705,421 7,000,000 10,800,000

So if you want to gain even more support from 2 groups of voters, blacks and Hispanic, that were a big contributor to you before, what do you do? If you are a politician, you make more of those folks eligible to vote.

IF you are an American President most interested in the health of the county and its laws, well then I don't think you do this.

Besides, why does an illegal immigrant get a benefit that I as a citizen born and raised have to show ID (and so gladly) to exercise.

This kinda thing could make me move to Canada, if I didn't hate the wite at the border to shop at Walmart.
