Hey, you didn't accuse me of being a racist, only a homosexual! That's personal growth. Looks like someone's going to get a smiley face.Fluff off, troll. You and Cybr should get a room.

Homosexual? Not at all. Given the highly emotional nature of your "reasoning" and your dramatic mood swings, I've come to assume you're a teenage girl, still struggling to manage your monthly cycles. In any case, I have no idea what your sexual preferences may be, nor do I care.Hey, you didn't accuse me of being a racist, only a homosexual! That's personal growth.

Great, now you're insulting women.Homosexual? Not at all.

You'll get over it.Great, now you're insulting women.
Nah, I'm making a habit of ignoring Cybrsage.Maybe you'd care to add something about cripples while you're on a roll?
Speaking of not thinking, your attempt to spin this is nonsense. I'm talking about the way you can often offer substantive, thoughtful posts, even though I may disagree with them, while at other times pooping out vapid, trollish turds like "If the answer came from the left, it was 'racism'.", or some of your hate speech against those less fortunate than we are. You seem to have two distinct personalities, one the intelligent conservative P&N so badly lacks; the other a witless troll just like Cybr/Nehalem/Incorrigible.Proper reasoning: All proggie, all the time! It's BETTER than thinking!
Dramatic mood swings: Only sometimes agrees with you rather than the 100% conformity required.
Another step in the right direction.A federal court on Thursday blocked a Texas law that would have required voters to show photo identification, ruling that the legislation would impose “strict, unforgiving burdens” on poor minority voters.
Describing the law as the most stringent in the country, the unanimous decision by a three-judge panel marks the first time that a federal court has blocked a voter-ID law. It will reverberate politically through the November elections. Republicans and Democrats have been arguing over whether tough voter-ID laws in a number of states discriminate against African Americans and Hispanics.
The panel at the U.S. District Court in Washington ruled that Texas had failed to show that the statute would not harm the voting rights of minorities in the state. In addition, the judges found that evidence indicated that the cost of obtaining a photo ID to vote would fall most heavily on African American and Hispanic voters.
Evidence submitted by Texas to prove that its law did not discriminate was “unpersuasive, invalid, or both,” David S. Tatel, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, wrote in the panel’s 56-page opinion. Voting Rights Act cases must be decided by a special panel of three federal judges.
The ruling followed a decision Tuesday by another three-judge panel in Washington that found the Republican-controlled Texas legislature had intentionally discriminated against Hispanics in drawing new legislative districts. ...
Fluff off, troll. You and Cybr should get a room.
I see you also fail at mime. Is there anything you can do to justify your existence by entertaining us? Surely you can't fail at everything. Let's revisit shooting things out of your nose. Have you tried that?Bow Bow Bow...you really have lost it. You need to talk to your doctor to see about changing the levels of your meds.

Let the blacks vote!
Let the elderly vote vote!
Give it up, even the Republican Lawyers group that did a study pretty much found that 'voter fraud' is not a problem at all, it's just angry racist republcians being miffed that 'coloreds' and old folk are allowed to vote.
Nice duhversion Sparky, but that wasn't the question asked nor is it what you said. You in effect insinuated that "racism" is the left's answer to everything. Unfortunately, your purported "proof" above is about a single issue that does, in fact, contain racist underpinnings given the statistical fact that minorities are one demographic most likely to be impacted by these voter suppression laws. You crying about this unpleasant truth is just as phony as Debbie Wasserman Schulz (sp?) crying about being called partisan. If the heels fit, wear 'em.From this thread:

The constitution has no requirement for photo ID.
Moreover, as has been explained many times in the many other threads where this canard has been floated, most of those things do not require driver's licenses ... depending on who you are and where you live. The only two that invariably do are flying, thanks to TSA rules, and driving (which is the whole purpose of a Drivers License). I've been carded for alcohol exactly twice in my life, IIRC. I've been asked for ID only once when using a credit card. I'm rarely asked for ID when using checks. I've never been asked for ID when going to a movie. I have been asked for ID when I've moved to a new job, but that's not a factor for people who have worked at the same company for 20+ years, or those who are retired. In short, people who are regularly asked for ID may need to recognize that they aren't the center of the universe, that their world is not some universal constant that applies to everyone equally.I use my signature to use my CC. Why is my signature not good enough to verify my voter reg?
The constitution has no requirement for photo ID. None of those other activities are guaranteed by the constitution.

How can you say it's almost non existent when there is no way to know without an ID?
ROFLMAO!
Gee, I wonder why?
Does the Constitution put any limits or requirements to vote?
Limits to three fifths of a person for some people?
Edit: Note this was just for representation, the 3/5 people still couldn't vote.
Actually, yes,I understand that. I am also NOT a great advocate of these Voter ID Laws. They do not, repeat, NOT help solve the real problem of voter fraud and election fraud. That they do is draw attention to the real problem.
My solution to voter fraud would to have a one time edit of all voter registration rolls to remove the dead, the illegal and the just made up. Then I would require all that wish to vote to actually prove they are who they say they are and that they are legal to vote.
This, I understand will never, ever happen. The Democrats would fight it tooth and nail.
Then there is the problem of election fraud. You know, where things like more votes are counted than voters. To understand how this works please refer to how LBJ got to Washington, D.C.
I wonder if you have any idea what this 3/5 of a person is really about in our Constitution.
The South wanted to count all slaves for the purpose of apportionment of Members of Congress. The North did not want to count them at all because the were not free citizens. The 3/5 of the total number of slaves, not 3/5 of a person, was the compromise.
I wonder if any of you actually read and/or study US history.

Voter ID laws are to prevent "voter impersonation", a virtually non-existent type of fraud. And yet, you pretend to be too stupid to understand that. Keep it up, and I may decide that you are not pretending.
This is proof that it is not being done for political reasons, unlike what a lot of idiots say.
Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done, Turzai said at this weekends Republican State Committee meeting ,
The state signed a stipulation agreement with lawyers for the plaintiffs which acknowledges there have been no investigations or prosecutions of in-person voter fraud in Pennsylvania; and the parties do not have direct personal knowledge of any such investigations or prosecutions in other states.
The state also says it won't present "any evidence or argument" that in-person voter fraud is likely to occur on Election Day if the voter ID law isn't enacted.
The former Florida GOP Chairman said, Theres no doubt that what the Republican led legislature in Florida and Governor Scott are trying to do is make sure the Republican party has an advantage in this upcoming election by reducing early voting and putting roadblocks up for potential voters, Latinos, African Americans to register and then to exercise their right to vote. Theres no doubt. I was in the room. Its part of the strategy.
In three and a half years as Chairman in Florida, I never had one meeting where voter fraud was discussed as a real issue effecting elections. Never one time, Greer told Sharpton.
LOL at our troll being wrong once again. And you still refuse to honor your bet that you welched on too. So classy, but hey, you are a confirmed troll.
Let me help you out with some facts (those things that you hate):

So a GOP state congresman is claim it will help romney win. Hmmm.
So everyone admits (legally and officially) there is no voter fraud, so why are the GOP trying to pass the laws?
