He’s the Star Jones of the board.
Bricker’s preferred plan sounds more expensive than the limo service idea.
You think it’s more expensive to send someone a postcard than a limo? No wonder you’re struggling to keep up with this discussion.
I think you are too stupid to tell when someone is being facetious.
It would be very expensive, however, to mail all voters a certified letter personalized with their voting data. A bit more costly than a postcard.
It’s kind of nice to have a personal stalker, though, even one who is quite dim-witted. I probably won’t post again for a few hours, just so you know.
It’s hardly necessary to stalk you to know you’re a fucking moron. Also, the amount you seem to respond to Bricker it looks like you’re projecting a little here.
Yup. If some location has a three-hour wait, we identify that as a problem, and we attempt to make sure that it doesn’t happen next time. How was that not crystal clear from everything I’ve already posted?
I don’t see an excluded middle here, either. Those are the choices.
No. Nor has any other mail service been privatized. So why are you able to use hypothetical unlikely future events as reasons against this scheme?
Come on… You’re still dodging.
We “attempt to make sure.” Be more specific.
You must realize that when you deal with metrics such as this, there are huge differences between “we work to avoid that, recognizing that the occasional outlier will happen,” and “we work to avoid that again at any cost.”
You are deliberately not committing to a specific answer.
We start with a legal question.
Lobohan asserts a view of the legal question that is factually wrong.
I certainly understand, in view of your loyalties, why you’d like this to be simply an unknowable conundrum. But it’s not. And Lobohan attempts to buttress his “Franklin and Bash” level understanding of the law by speculating I was a lousy litigator.
In your view, I SHOULDN’T mention the inconvenient-for-Lobohan fact that I have a law degree and years of experience in criminal defense?
Even if we used certified letters…
$4.26 per household, certified mail.
Yup. Since liberals believe profit is evil, their pretty little heads can’t handle big scary numbers.
I’m sorry you don’t like my answers. That usually happens when you’ve found yourself arguing from a ridiculous and/or incorrect position.
You are not representing yourself well in this thread.
Ok, help me out. Answer with some specifics. Even in this reply, you take the time to castigate me, but still don’t say what you mean by “we fix it.”
Just answer the question.
Dude, what is your problem? I’ve said about a MILLION times in this thread that I am not proposing a specific solution and that in fact I recognize that there are likely multiple possible solutions. You don’t like that answer, because you want me to provide one specific solution so you can attack the particulars and prove how impractical and expensive my suggestion is. Except I’m not suggesting any specific solution: I’m identifying the goddamned problem. If you don’t agree that people having to wait in line to vote for 3+ hours is a problem, then you and I have fundamentally different ideas about what constitutes how to appropriately run a polling place. And if you genuinely think that fixing this problem will bankrupt us, send the economy into a depression, raise taxes by 50%, etc., then you are insane. (I do not think you actually believe those things. I think it is part of the little show you are trying to put on for us in this thread to show us how smart and logical you are, and it is failing because you are not arguing from a place of logic.)
Why the hell not? You offered us the dim spectre of “voter fraud” and can’t do more than hypothesize how if there were better id, then prosecutors could prosecute the hypothetical “voter fraud”. Thus, performing the miracle of proving something by its absence of proof.
Now, this is a chestnut. We install the voter ID plan. Then, in the unlikely event there are more prosecutions, you get to say “Aha! Voter fraud, just like I said!” And if there are no more prosecutions, two bits you’ll say “Well, my plan worked, ‘voter fraud’ has been effectively eliminated!”
And you want to give somebody shit for hypotheticals?
Your fellow conservatives seem to think it’s a great idea, though. Did you miss the memo or something?
I’m glad you don’t agree with it, but please don’t make it sound like I’m making shit up.
The truth is if we privatize mail delivery, which many fiscal conservatives would love for us to do, people will distrust mail-in voting. We have to have a strong, government-funded post office that is free from the Congress bullshittery it is dealing with now.
One thing I should have said at this point is: I don’t care whether or not you win an argument with BG or BobLibDem or whoever. But they are not evidence of anything meaningful in a debate about the larger world.
You are welcome to reach whatever conclusions you want about the liberals who post to this board. But so fucking what? I really don’t care if you prove we’re a bunch of doucheheads. It has no meaning outside of this board.
He’s getting kind of hard to tell apart from Starving Artist. He’s been trending douche-ier for several years now (I’m always amazed when someone posts a “you used to be so reasonable” type post, he’s been a shitstain for years now), but he seems to be getting stupider as he does.
Damned if you aren’t correct. Never saw that word before. Don’t think it’s in very common use, but you learn something every day, I guess.
I’m speculating that you’re a silly bitch. And if you think you’re gonna get conviction after conviction based on someone not calling after getting a note card in the mail, you’re a fucking stooge.
