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.

The Voter ID laws are far more than just racist, as the courts are agreeing, they are poll taxes and unfair Constitutional infringements on the right to vote of not only specifically and discriminatarily non-white minorities, but the poor, elderly, and those that don't live a specific life style or have a certain income.

What does your state say currently (current law) about what you have to show to register to vote? Tell us.

After you read up on reconstruction, keep reading through the 20th century. It's fun to demonize the current Democratic party based upon the political parties of the 1800's, especially as you all apparently read the same right-wing websites that come out with your talking points on the same day - but there's far more to that story than the superficial, shallow talking point you've been told to repeat.

Yup, something that proves you belong.

So why do you think some of those current proofs are not valid, and must be eliminated by more restrictive laws? We know there is little to no voter fraud.

Where did I say this level of proof was not OK?

You don't currently need a photo voter ID to vote in Colorado. Do you think that's fine as current, or do you think that the Colorado voting law should be changed so that a photo voter ID must be required?

Nobody told me to repeat sh!t Riot I worked all day and this is the only site I've visited. Unlike you my job doesn't involve surfing the web. You are the one who repeats the same Progressive crap that dominates the media. There is nothing wrong with making sure people are citizens. Ooooops I forgot our Prez doesn't have a birth certificate. I live in N.Y. I had to show an I.D. Please look up the regs for me you are more fluent with the Internet than I am. If there is a pie chart so much the better.

So you have nothing of substance to add to the discussion of Voter ID rights, other than to reiterate that you are a birther?

BTW: I own my own successful business, I earn six figures, and, being a massive job creator, I have the luxury of a lot of time off. The American Dream - it's awesome

First I'm a racist now I'm a birther. What's next? I'm glad you are successful. You do realize you didn't build that business right?

You don't believe much in keeping to the truth, either, do you?

I never said you were a racist.

You revealed yourself as a birther when you said this: "Ooooops I forgot our Prez doesn't have a birth certificate." (Hint: that's the definition of "A Birther")

The President never said, "You didn't build" referring to anyone's business. He said, "You didn't build that" referring to infrastructure and roads that enable businesses to thrive. In fact, Mitt Romney has said the exact same thing. Would you like to see video of it?

You sure about that? If you aren't insulted by this then you are not listening.

Government research didn't create the internet either. "So that business could make money"

Pretty sad state of affairs where you are a racist if you feel that people should have an ID to vote.
If you're not smart enough to figure out how to get an ID should you really be voting, or should I say blindly voting for Obama jut because he's black?
