Politics and religion.

Well, to me making sure the people who elect the ones who will control our country are who they say they are makes more sense than not having a photo id. We need them to cash checks, open bank accounts, get beer and such. I'd think knowing for sure who was picking the ones who run our country is just as important. But maybe that's just me.

That line of thinking was called 'voter suppression' because not all people have a gov't. issued ID.

I have to laugh because people have lived for years without an ID and all of a sudden they are crying foul because you have to show one to vote?

lovely.

I love the arguments about voter ID. They drive me insane for one reason: It is eminently possible to go through life in the US with not "acceptable" form of ID, and without a birth certificate.

Want to have fun? Retire without a birth certificate. The gentleman I'm thinking of had multiple forms of ID, military, state, etc.......but went through hell trying to retire because Social Security didn't have his birth cert.

Maybe the birthers could have helped him find it?

(BTW, the person was a foundling in upstate NY, hence no Birth Cert. and a SS number issued when he joined the military)

Sounds like a job for Donald Trump!

Well, they could switch to fingerprints. When people register, they just give a fingerpint and when they go vote they could match finger prints. They could even put a place on mail in ballots for the person's fingerpint. No finger print, toss the ballot. In the sad casses where the individual has no fingers they could use a toe print. That way no one has to buy anything or is supressed. Just thinking of options.

So I put my fingerprint on the envelope- still does not mean I am the one who checked the boxes!

But it still comes back to ......why?

There is not a problem with voter fraud.

Just another intrusion of the government! Apparently some people are comfortable with more government rules!

I was watching Rachel Madcow rant on about voting (not my choice of viewing, I don't have the remote...) and have to LMFAO about how STUPID people are and how STUPID this 'early voting' deal is.

Then if you have to show an I.D. and it's a conspiracy theory.

I have always found people who "absentee ballot" because they are too lazy to go to polls, funny.

--------------------------

You, as a voter, have some responsibility to find out what you need to do to vote.

You have four years to figure you s*** out and, last time I heard? It's the First Tuesday in November. The date changes, so If you can't figure out how to read a calendar (But can post videos on YouTube with no problems) you shouldn't vote - Matter of fact, you deserve to stand in line, go to the wrong precinct or not cast a ballot because you don't have an I.D....


Now, if you are one of the few that was born at home and managed to avoid being part of the mainstream?

YOU STILL HAVE HAD TIME TO FIGURE IT OUT. I know, there are the cases where there's not a clear cut solution.

-------------------------------

I am hoping for a huge Charlie Foxtrot in this election, then have the outcome figured out on the day before the world ends in December.

It would serve us right.

Chris Christy?


I loved his fawning over the fact that he got to ride in Marine One with the prez..........He sounded like a Justin Bieber fan who was able to go back stage and meet him.

Loved it.

Let me explain it to you. Some people work...you know...have jobs. And those jobs often take them out of town...you know...to work.

And these people who...work...want to make sure they can vote. So they get an absentee ballot or a mail in ballot.

Perhaps you are not familiar with the concept.

Of course, there are other reasons people get absentee ballots - they may have difficulty getting to the poll - disabled, bedridden, elderly. I am sure you consider that a "scream" too. Lazy buggers!

What I find funny is people who are constantly laughing at others instead of looking at themselves and seeing just how ridiculous they are.

A friend of mine, wink wink, had to contact the SS department and was sent some paperwork with a 'typo' on it. They put the mom's maiden name in place of the last name.

When contacted about the error, They were told that in the 'permanent' record that is the way it was recorded in the system.

So, This person probably could register twice and vote twice.......

Didn't bother me to pull out my DL and flash it to vote. It saved me some time and the hassle of spelling out my name and having the poll person waste time looking.......

Bill Clinton really understands women.

There is a joke there, but I'll pass......
