Why is it a knife below the belt to say that Democrats expect to gain electoral advantage, but perfectly fair to say that Republicans expect to gain electoral advantage, by manipulating the rules and field of voter registration and voting itself?
Voter ID Laws: Necessary to combat rampant fraud or subtle subjugation of the Democratic demographic
if tis infected with flesh eating bacteria amputation has much merit. If you ahve a better method that would assure me we have honest elections, I’m listening.
Oh, Bricker, please! Come off it! Jeez, man, try to maintain some dignity, won’t you?
I have solid proof that “Republicans expect to gain electoral advantage”, I have the testimony of the Boards Foremost Legal Authority, the Professor Irwin Corey of Jurisprudence, to wit:
Post #397, if your memory fails…
And you come here with some bullshit equivalence, based on the repulsive slur that Dems protect the voting non-rights of felons and illegal aliens, with no evidence whatsoever! And bat the big brown innocent eyes, like you have no idea what depths you’ve sunk to?
Have you any scruples at all?
The Democrats expect to gain an advantage through more Americans voting, the Republicans are trying to gain advantage through taking away the vote from vulnerable Americans.
You see the difference? The former is the intended function of the electoral process, the latter is tyranny.
Don’t want to lose? Change to appeal to the voters.
Republicans with charisma?
My god… they could rule the universe!
Oh, I see. I think.
You can say Republicans are seeking political advantage because I acknowledged it, but I can’t say Democrats are seeking political advantage because you haven’t acknowledged that?
Let me make sure I understand you. Is that correct?
I can say, similarly, “Don’t want to lose? Change the appeal of voter ID laws to the public.”
As long as the voter ID laws are passed by people that are elected by the people, as is the way of our representative democracy, then it is not tyranny.
Do you guys really sit around and tell yourselves things like, “This is tyranny? Why won’t the people listen?”
If so, I can only imagine your baffled disappointment.
Which is as it should be, because such bafflement only exists in your imagination.
Lies, Counselor. You’re posting lies. Simple enough for you? Not too flowery, I hope. Lies.
No, but in your attempt to simplify, you cut too MUCH detail.
I’ve said a lot of things. What statement is a lie? Why?
You’re *adorable *when you pretend to be stupid, and you just can’t quite grasp what I’m saying. Puppies and kittens must line up for post-graduate work in cute.
The people includes Americans stripped of their vote. How can the law be reflective of the people if some are prevented from voting?
That’s the problem. You are arguing against democratic principles, because Republicans can’t stand its results.
In a mind blowingly dishonest example of double think, you’re trying to claim preventing Americans from voting is democratic.
Since polls show that 70% of Americans back voter ID laws, I don’t think we’re quite in the Catch-22 situation you say we are.
Did you read the part about “reports Fox News”?
And this:
Find that one a bit hard to swallow, but hey! Fox News says it, **John Mace **cites it, must be legit!
Historic poll and literacy taxes were passed under the veil of a democratic process, with claims of public support.
However rather than talk about what a stupid thing you posted, I’ll assume you must have taken a sharp blow to the head, and aren’t thinking straight. Please go get medical attention for your concussion. When you come back, consider this:
Group A and B tend to have close elections. Group A when in power takes the vote away from a group that mostly falls under B. They could easily institute measures to minimize the damage to voting rights, but they don’t. They target B intentionally.
How do you think this will affect the democratic process? Will Group A fairly have more power?
Oh, please. If you find something at fault with the poll, let’s see it.
Tao: Come back when you can debate civilly. I really don’t have time to engage with that kind of nonsense.
You are arguing for something as evil, and unAmerican as stripping innocent Americans of their vote. My case is already made.
It would take you fewer keystrokes to plainly and clearly answer the question than typing all the shit you type. I do not believe you’re trying for clarity at all.
What’s your source, then?
There’s nothing undemocratic about making sure that only citizens cast votes.
