Quote:Any politician that tried to pull that off (including Obama) would be cooked in seconds, and for good reason, by members of both parties. An effort to extend voting rights to illegal immigrants would be any and all required nails in the coffin of a politician's career.

 

*Edit: it seems that attempts have already been made to "accidentally" grant voting rights to them. IMO, nothing short of a voter registration card and matching ID should allow you to vote.

 

I don't think so.  You've got enough people in this country that are so detached from what is happening here that there's a strong likelihood they wouldn't even notice unless it happened to be mentioned as part of a punch line on a "news" show on Comedy Central. 

 

I've had heated debates in the past with friends who find the notion of requiring an ID to vote as racist.  They don't have any defense for needing one to cash a check, rent a car, rent a domicile, fly on a plane, etc.  Those requirements aren't racist.  Only if you're requiring them to provide an ID to vote.  I agree with you that at a minimum you should have a state issued picture ID that backs up who you are. 

 

As it stands, the "motor voter" law passed under Bill Clinton that allows people to register to vote when they go for a license must be racist too since essentially you have to request a state ID in order to take advantage. 

 

Hillary Clinton is going around talking about making voting more accessible to a larger segment of the population.  I didn't realize accessibility to voter registration was that restricted.  But, we all know what her comments are code for, and it has everything to do with greater access for those who are currently not permitted to legally vote for a host of reasons, whether it's a pesky citizenship issue, or a criminal history.

 

 

Quote:tried to avoid offending anyone by taking a strong position on any issue.


"I won't get into a discussion with you about what Trump said and how he hit on all the big issues that should matter to republican voters because you're simply not capable of seeing beyond your own bias.  You make that abundantly clear every time you post in this forum.  You're the perfect democrat voter."


Presumptions work both ways. You don't see past your own bias, although you tend to disguise it, being a TParty type republican. You make that clear in your posts. No big deal.

But I do believe you are a closet Trump supporter, for that reason and the fact your personalities are so similar. And that's ok too, that's every individual's freedom of choice.

 

 

I don't deny my bias.  I'm a dyed in the wool conservative.  I don't hide that point at all.  I don't have any need to do so. 

 

I can't stand Trump.  I never have liked the guy, and think he's nothing more than a circus act.  That doesn't mean he can't serve a purpose in this election cycle.  That's apparently the part you're struggling to grasp.

 

When you get your Hillary tramp stamp, make sure you post pictures here.
