Easy now Canndo, stereotypes are a dime a dozen don't turn out like the libtards on this forum. The day you let passion rule reason is the day you lose all credibility.
With our lax illegal immigration and our "executive order" 2 year free passes for illegal immigration it's pretty hard to imagine that we wouldn't tighten voting security. Most towns don't wait for someone to be killed or a bank to be robbed before they hire a police officer do they? Our voting system is too easy to fraud anyone can do it without the risk of being caught. It's a joke really, I am surprised we our just now coming to the conclusion we need some kind of security to protect voters rights. Owning a firearm is a right and you must provide a photo ID and information when buying one of those. In fact certain democratic parties want to make the restrictions even more demanding. The truth is most of our rights you can probably link to requiring an ID in some form or fashion. We all know it's close to impossible to function in society without an ID or driver license and we all know that the majority that do not have them are incompetent or illegal. Its a tough argument, to tell people that we should trust others by their word when we all know only fools do that.
Out of context Non. I believe that "I know you folks" had something to do with O'keef and I added that "we folks" like Moore. It was intended to be a wry sort of point on equivelence between the two and the tendancy for us all to trust those that should not be trusted.
Non, your post makes some sense, but laws are most often enacted after a problem is encountered and more than likely the laws that govern populations of people provide for time in which to comply. Furthermore, in some states, what most would consider acceptable ID has been rendered otherwise. There are large numbers of people on one of the states who will not know that they are unable to vote until they show their ID, Id that has been acceptable for their entire voting lives and are told that that ID is no longer valid.
This alone would tend to negate your argument. I don't know that Obama has offered a "free pass" for illegal immigration.
Yes, owning a firearm is a right and ID should not be required to posess it, but it may be in order to purchase - even so, I do not agree with those laws.
Other than that single example, we use ID for transactions between ourselves and private businesses, they, along with other transactions with government entities are not rights. Vagrancy laws demanding that individuals on the street carry ID were long ago struck down as unconstitutional.
The point is not that ID is a good idea for voters, the point is that the infliction, the weilding of ID requirements by Republican run states is obviously a ploy in order to alter this election.
The arguments that you make would be reasonable in a situation where an election were not pending and those without "proper" Id were not so obviously democrat leaning.
