Showing ID to Vote

[Woodruff]

... If you go to the government website of many states, and look up how, and what it takes to get an ID... nobody has any excuse to bitch about not having one.

... So simple, monkeys could do it... at least in what I've looked at thus far - Texas, Florida, Ohio, Arizona and Connecticut.

... What, exactly, is preventing people from getting them? I going to need specific answers, because unless we're discussing complete idiots, or perhaps the dead, I can't see how it would present any difficulty.

..

Ah "monkeys", didn't take long for that one to come out of the closet.

It's not an uncommon turn of phrase, you realize.

True, but difficult not to notice when brought up in a thread about voter laws.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Did you think he meant it in a racist way? Because I'm not seeing that, to be honest.

It's nice that you tend towards the more generous interpretation, I tend toward the more cynical. In a thread about the potential disfranchisement of black people, via ID laws, saying that it's so simple to get an ID even a "monkey" can do it, raises a red flag.

This is the second time in two weeks that you've called someone a racist or bigot for something that was neither racist or bigoted. What the f*ck is wrong with you?

I'm off my game? I'll try to step back up to the plate.

That's a baseball metaphor.

He's a Leftist.

Every single issue is first filtered through race/gender/class. Everything else is secondary

He's a Leftist. End of story

Every single thing is filtered through race/gender/class first, not last.

... No, he knows I am correct, and is attempting to distract and discredit (the typical leftist move when cornered) - get everybody to look the other way.

... I am so right, and he just cannot accept that.

Well, yeah. It's still bothersome.

Far right, disturbingly so...

Reported for posting offensive / racist picture.

Good luck with that.

You have hit a new low. Out of all your accusations on this board, this one was probably the most absurd.

Because you took a very common phrase, that people all over the world use on a daily bases, and turned it into a race issue. No one else read into it what you did. No one. So either you are the smartest person on CC, or you are a shit disturber that likes making easy accusations thinking you are serving the better good by pointing out how wrong and racist everyone else is. I lean more to the latter.

It is far to easy to accuse someone of being racist and having them have to defend themselves as to why they aren't. You must really enjoy what you do...

It was a race issue long before I touched it.

I also fixed the spelling mistake in your post.

Oh my! Thanks! I had you pegged all wrong! You are the bestest!!!!!

I understand what you're getting at, I suppose...but I just totally don't see it, in this particular case.

Are you trying to convince us that you're a Leftist, then?

(I also like how all the conservatives let that go...)

election 2012
Minnesota Poll: Passage of Voter ID shows 12-point edge

The Tea Party has majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate here, and we have immediately balanced our budget (-6.2 billion) and returned a small surplus. Ron Paul Republicans DOMINATE the Republican Party in Minnesota.

related to another post concerning Minnesota's status as a swing state, since the Democrats have made their opposition to this common sense issue, and since it looks like we are also passing the traditional marriage amendment, there is a good shot Minnesota is no longer a purple state, and may even be an official red state.

Hey, it just happened in Wisconsin!

The Republican Party has made it clear that the term "Ron Paul Republicans" is an oxymoron.

I think this is why you won't vote for Gary Johnson. Your religiousity won't allow you to let those damn homosexuals gain anything, amirite?

[Phatscotty]

Minnesota and 12 other states have made it crystal clear that it isn't, and that the Republicans of yesterday will go the way of the Dinosaurs, and the people have taken matters into their own hands to see that the new breed of Republicans are more Liberty oriented and more fiscally Conservative.

Guess who is going to try to take Amy Klobuchars US senate seat from Minnesota? It's a Ron Paul endorsed Republican, which should be enough to make him a "Ron Paul Republican".




We are going to have some Ron Paul Republicans in the Senate and even more in the House. We beat Republicans in the primaries the way Liberals only dream they could.

BTW, are you seriously mouthpiecing for "The Republican Party"? Lmao! Like a guy who is trying to kick out the Bush Republicans and has done more than mostly anyone to actually change the party on a local level GIVES A FLYING f*ck what "The Republican Party" says...
