Illinois Doctor Destroys Obama Care In One Amazing Sentence

Someone should ask Michelle about that, but no reporter on this EARTH has the guts to do it, because to them she is a SAINT!

@-mrspork——-As far as I know,every state GIVES a STATE ISSUED I.D.,for those that,perhaps don’t drive—like the visually or audibly,or mentally impaired might need to conduct every day business.

These IDs cost a fair chunk of money in some states, like Texas, where one may have to drive 200 miles to get one — not free, obviously, and therefore a violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Besides, in Texas, you have to prove who you are to get registered to vote. The additional ID, using forms that go beyond establishing legal identity, are intended to push older Americans, disabled veterans, Mexican Americans and African Americans away from the polls so they won’t vote. Why should we allow such Klan-like actions in the 21st century. Why are you so afraid of people voting?

The plaintiffs in the actual lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin, included elderly people who don’t drive, veterans disallowed from using their Veterans Affairs IDs, and a variety of other people who can’t get ‘em. In Pennsylvania, the advocates of voter ID admitted that nearly a million voters would be disenfranchised.

Because the GOP can’t win without this form of cheating? You think?

Except: In 81 counties in Texas, there is no DMV office. In some cases it’s 176 miles, one way, to get the I.D. That’s a poll tax under the legal definition, and consequently should be banned by the 24th Amendment. In Ohio, the veterans didn’t get the word. A World War II vet, a veteran of Pearl Harbor, was turned away at the polls earlier this year. He had planned to vote for Romney in the primary. In Pennsylvania, the PA DMV decided they would take only Pennsylvania birth certificates (did you have to show a birth certificate to get a drivers license? Seriously?). New York isn’t part of the U.S. to them — even if you marched for the right to vote with Martin Luther King, Jr., as the lead plaintiff did. In Wisconsin, the DMV decided that they thought, maybe, a woman’s father had misspelled the family surname, 80 years earlier. So they rejected her birth certificate. To get a new one, she’d have to sue the state to correct her original birth certificate, at a cost of thousands of dollars. Two of her children are elected officials in Wisconsin. In Texas, a gun permit is okay — but if you’re a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, your University of Texas-issued ID isn’t good enough.

The claim that it’s simple and easy to get an ID would nullify the use of a voter ID law, were it true. GOP is insisting on these new ID cards because they know that it’s a burden on voters who don’t qualify — who by design are overwhelmingly black or brown, older, veterans, and other groups who, the GOP says, vote for Democrats.

If it were not illegal, it would still be immoral, the sort of stuff that God burned Sodom and Gomorrah for. Let’s not risk it again, eh?

What’s a burden on society is people who can’t write the language they choose to frustrate communication in.

As opposed to this guy, who put his life on the line to protect our rights to believe fool things:

Paul Carroll, an 86-year-old World War II veteran who has lived in the same Ohio town for four decades, was denied a chance to vote
in the state’s primary contests today after a poll worker denied his
form of identification, a recently-acquired photo ID from the Department
of Veterans Affairs.

Dead people don’t vote. Their names get stuck on the voter rolls, same as the names of people who move to different locations — but they don’t vote. No one has been able to find a case of voter fraud involving dead voters for a long, long time. It’s certainly not significant.
