that and pretty much all the other BS she comes up with.

What AMAZES me is that the proponents against voter ID spend all of their time arguing that the law disenfranchises voters. If they truly cared about this segment of people why wouldn't they spend their time or money trying to help this supposed large segment of the people actually obtain IDs. The argument against voter ID is probably the worst argument I have seen. Try helping this segment get photo IDs instead of fighting the law with your liberal judges. No one wants to take away a person's right to vote. What we do want is elections to be held fairly and honestly. If there is no fraud what are the democrats so afraid of.

you have to have a form of i.d. to register to vote. so why is requiring an i.d. to actually cast a ballot an issue?
if it's ok to get it at registration, why is it not ok when election time actually gets here?
how is it an infringement at the polls, but not when registering?

In WI if you register prior to election day you need one of the following:

• A current and valid WI Driver License / ID Card
• Any other official identification card or license issued by a Wisconsin governmental body or unit
• An employee ID card with a photograph, but not a business card
• A real property tax bill or receipt for the current year or the year preceding the date of the election
• A residential lease (Does not count as proof of residence if elector submits form by mail)
• A picture ID or fee card from a university, college or technical college
• A utility bill for the period commencing not earlier than 90 days before the day registration is made
• A bank statement
• A paycheck

If you register on election day (which you can in WI) you need a PHOTO ID and proof of address to register

So you could actually register ahead of time without an ID (but not on election day).

This argument against photo ID is just plain dumb, but it will be shot down again today in WI by another liberal Dane County judge

i know they passed a federal law, i think back in 02 that said you had to have i.d. to register. and of course it isn't necessarily photo i.d. in what you said above, but you must have something to show you are who you say you are.

Yeah that one is ridiculous as well. If 2 human beings want to be married have at it. The only people that are really affected by that marriage are those 2 people....

[Danzig]

personally, i don't think anyone has a worse argument than those who still insist on having creationism taught in schools. but gay marriage is right up there- and both issues no doubt fought against by the same group.

The concept of heaven and hell is so out there that it boggles my mind just thinking about it! But that's a whole nother conversation!

obama admin. blocks tx voter id law:

http://news.yahoo.com/obama-administ...161037385.html

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration on Monday blocked a new Texas law requiring voters to show photo identification before they can cast a ballot out of concerns it could harm some Hispanic voters who lack such identification.

The state law approved in May 2011 required voters to show government-issued photo identification, which could include a driver's license, a military identification card, a birth certificate with a photo, a current U.S. passport, or a concealed handgun permit.

I don't care that they are against it personally. They don't have to marry someone of the same sex . But I care like hell when they try and shove their prejudices on all of society through law.
