    Democrats poo-poo the idea of a picture ID requirement for voting...they argue such represents a "poll tax".....yet, they have no problem permitting illegal immigrants the opportunity to purchase drivers licenses...

    while seeking to make voting more 'convenient' with "motor voter" legislation.

    To get a picture ID you need to apply for a driver's license. When you apply for a driver's license, you're automatically applied to the National Draft and Jury Duty lists.

    All you paranoid people thinking the government is tracking you, well yes now they are. Thank your small government Republican party for handing you over to their secret police list. Now that I think about it, it was the Republicans who started those agencies too, so don't forget to thank them for that as well.

    And they call it a "Liberal" Police-State, LOL. :-D

    No, you do not need to get a driver's license to get a photo ID.
    You are required to register with the selective service when you turn 18 whether you have a license or not.

    Beefing up ID requirements is one thing, but shortening voting times... That's pretty classist.

    Not everyone has a cushy job that allows you to take time off from work to vote.

    Most states have laws that require employers to allow time off for voting. I included a link that gives a run down on each state. I hope your employer hasn't been screwing you over in the past.

    Unions should not have a hand in voting whatsoever.

    Unions suck, and have destroyed american manufacturing.

    What excuse can you have for not requiring voters to identify themselves except for trying to steal election? What excuse can you have for uncontrolled absentee ballots except to steal elections? I'm not sure how the early voting helps Democrats steal elections but I'ms ure it does.

    The only forked-tungue criminal slimes are the Democrats desperatly trying to maintain their long tradition of voter fraud while disenfrhanchizing certain voters. Democrats worry about the dead not getting to vote, foreign nationals not getting to vote, and some Democrats only being allowed to vote once. Poor babies. You know, Democrats, the "the forked-tongue criminal slimes."

    So, support clean elections. It will be a new experience for Democrats. You know,

    Not if the Government can't find you. Easily done if you Homeschool with out-of-state resources, instead of sending your kids to public school, and don't answer the census. It also helps if you double up with family members inside a compound instead of owning your own property so you don't have a physical address. :shh:

    Greedy corporations have destroyed American families and have done nothing more then line the pockets of shareholders and owners with money, all at the expense and exploitation of workers.

    Thanks to corporations, America is in the sorry situation that it is in today.

    What nonsense. American workers have pensions invested in corporations and 401k accounts invested in corporations. The "workers" you talk about aren't "workers" at all.
