    Voter ID's 1 2

    • 930 views

    Ok, on here I've been a proponent of voter ID's. Not perhaps of some of the laws that have been made but of the overall idea of making sure that the person who is voting is the person who is on the registered list. Here is the problem though, I have done absentee ballots for several years now and obviously I do not show my ID to do that. How would absentee voters meet the ID requirement in this scenario?

    It seems the cyber hacking group Anonymous has targeted the Ku Klux Klan, gained control of their website and twitter account while also releasing members identities along with facebook accounts. http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-30105412 I am no fan of the Klan but would the members of Anonymous be happy about their identities revealed along with addresses, phone numbers, email accounts and social media accounts exposed? How about pictures of them, their families and where they work when they are not wearing capes in their basement and righting wrongs. Would they feel their rights were violated? Maybe, but they would be in jail trying to make a plea barg…

    I was watch CBS and one of the guys mentioned that on the NC Senate race, $100m was spent. He brought up that 41 Nixon campaign administrators went to jail for campaign finance fraud, if it were today none of them would be in jail because none of what they did broke the law. Shit is out of control

    Michelle Obama: Blacks should vote democrat, no matter what 1 2

    Doesn't matter what they say or do, just vote "D". Sigh. http://www.examiner.com/article/michelle-obama-blacks-should-vote-straight-democratic-ticket-no-matter-what Look, I know the sight is a conservative whack site. But the quote is the quote and it is what is wrong with our two party system right now. Bottom line is that the mentality of our leadership is that is doesn't matter what kind of person they are, the only thing that matters is what letter comes after their name. There is something inherently wrong with that mentality.
