A bunch of lazy people who can't or won't get ID equals suppression in this screwed up country!! Originally Posted by DSKLazy people don't get to vote? Holy shit, that knocks out at least half of the population.

I'll say what I've always said. The GOP voter suppression laws are despicable and designed to circumvent the Constitution in order to suppress the votes of folks who traditionally support Democrats.
Unfortunately for the judge who wrote the opinion, it will now go up on appeal to the 5th Circuit....who will reverse it. Originally Posted by timpage

Lazy people don't get to vote? Holy shit, that knocks out at least half of the population.One thing that amazes me is all of the efforts to "suppress" the vote are in reality just efforts to instill some degree of responsibility in the voting public.

On the same note, if even 2/3 of the conservative/republican voting block would simply go vote, it would overwhelm the entire Democrat agenda.
If you don't vote, you should not complain. And if you are to lazy, stupid, or sorry to follow a few simple requirements, don't complain as well. Originally Posted by Jackie S

But, even if you are correct, being "responsible" isn't on the checklist of what is legally required to vote. That's just a variation on all of the arguments that have ever been advanced to suppress voters' rights. The requirement of being a landowner, the requirement of paying a tax, the requirement of having a penis.....historically, all of these voter suppression schemes were designed to prevent people from voting who legally ought to have the right to vote. It's fucking un-American.

Another thought. Did you ever stop and think that when the Democrats constantly, time and time again, bring up opposition to even the simplistic requirements to prove one's eligibility to vote, (such as a picture ID), what they are really saying is, "these people are to Fukin' stupid" to do that".No, no one thinks that. That's what a republican would come up with to make it about something other than what it's really about.
Why do people allow themselves to be degraded in such a manner. How demeaning can it be to an entire voting block when someone gets up and says......"they're morons". Originally Posted by Jackie S
