"Too stupid to vote" ... so you're against the Constitution? You think you are better than 90-year-old white rural American citizens who don't have birth certificates? Here's a good quote for that opinion you hold: "Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force."...Thomas Jefferson.

BTW: Republicans, who were so proud of ALEC's voter ID law agenda because, as they've publicly said, they think it will disenfranchise Democratic voters and allow them to win ... have just realized that these GOP voter ID laws, if allowed by the courts, will disenfranchise about an equal - but highly significant - number of elderly white voters in swing states of Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, that usually vote Republican.

Oops.

Expect to see diminished pushback and defense by Republicans in these states as their restrictive voter ID laws are brought to court. As the disenfranchisement numbers come out, the GOP has realized that they may have screwed themselves.

Play the Race Card Riot. If you can't prove you are a Citizen, you shouldn't be voting. People have all year to get an I.D. Call ACORN and ask for some assistance. You will get all the help you need. I didn't say stupid people should be STOPPED from voting, just that maybe they shouldn't. By the way Riot do you know the history of the Democratic Party? Who it was that was actually trying to keep Blacks from voting? Who started the KKK and why? Who wanted to deny Blacks their 2nd amendment rights? You guessed it! The Democrats! Read up on the Reconstruction some time. I can't understand why any hardworking Blacks would even think about registering Democrat. You go on about the Constitution yet cry out for more gun control. The Federal Govt. has been assuming undelagated powers and ignoring the Constitution for a long time. How do those elderly white people cash their SS checks anyway? J. H. Christ I have to wait in line 20 minutes at the Pharmacy then show I.D. to buy Claritin-D just so I can frikkin breath, when I used to grab a box off the shelf and head for the cash register. You make it sound like getting an I.D. is near impossible and anyone who thinks people should prove they are a Citizen to vote is a Racist.
