The other day, I heard some leftwingers talking about how “political” it was that Republicans want the presentation of legitimate voter ID at the precincts. According to the Left, that all about keeping down the Democrat vote… Does that mean Libs think (or are admitting!) that Republican voters are smart enough to get ID but Democrats don’t think their folks are? (How can it not mean that?!!!)
I got to thinking about the leftwingers allowing felons to vote and how they argue that that’s not political, but only allowing legal voters to vote IS. We’ve all known about Leftwingers picking up people in rural communities or ghettos where the people can’t find a ride to the polls and I wonder if those people are checked for legitimacy? If you have the privilege, the right, to vote, shouldn’t you be prepared to back that up with foresight on how to get an ID?
How much can Republicans push on something as simple and something as so obviously necessary and crucial to a democracy as proving you are a legal voter at an election?
This is a perfect example, a kind of metaphor, for how the Left has swallowed sanity and regurgitated insanity just to get their way; there is nothing evil, nothing unAmerican about wanting all voters to prove they’re American and of legal age to vote!
“They shouldn’t have to prove they can legally vote!!” Wait…..WHAT???
Thoughts?

Oh, c’mon . . . using common-sense reasoning with die-hard liberals is like trying to explain ethics to a two-year-old. Or like treating corpses with physical therapy in a nautilus gym.
I mean, some things just aren’t feasible; you can’t sneeze with your eyes open, no matter how hard you try. And even if you manage to fool Mother Nature, what have you really accomplished?
You can lead a horse to water, but you might just wind up with a wet horse.
Put simply, a liberal mind is a terrible thing to witness.

Madness! Off the rails!
Here in Virginia, it has long been the case that felons who committed nonviolent crimes or crimes not involving dealing drugs could get back their vote. A period of qualification was required, and those who met those qualifications were able to vote again. For some of these ex-felons, this ability to redeem themselves was a strong motivation.
The Left wants to open the flood gates for voting — in our political elections. But would these same openers of the flood gates support the idea that students not a part of the student body of a particular school should be able to vote for class officers in their children’s schools? I think not!

Dennis, we present NOTHING, as far as I remember, here in L.A….we point to our names on a list, and VOILA. Oh, SEVERAL TIMES in the last two elections (Obama), I saw young people saying “Can I vote HERE? I live far away and won’t get home in time to vote” or “I moved but you don’t have my updated address can I vote here?”
ALL (this is just a sample) got to vote….if they sign the PROVISIONARY BOOK…which a friend who works downtown where all those books GO tells me NEVER GET OPENED. Imagine people yelling over the crowd “Bill Smith voted in Encino, anybody got him anywhere ELSE?” Impossible…
I saw one pretty Black young girl running into a precinct with a cell phone announcing where she was voting and asking questions like “where’s the next place?” Seriously, I did.
AND I saw a young volunteer pushing the wheel chair of a person (the precinct was at an old age home) who didn’t look capable of voting….who do we think voted for that elderly woman who couldn’t hold her head up?
Ed, no it is NOT discriminatory…and it does seem Dems have little faith in their own.

The obvious implication of Democrats is: Our people aren’t smart enough to get ID and all FELONS are Democrats…how flattering, huh??
I’ve never for a second thought Meghan McCain was smart but this morning she said “there are nationalists in California (or some state, I can’t remember but I think it was here) who are supporting Trump; I could never vote for a person who nationalists are supporting” (nationalists being, apparently, people like white supremacists?)..
