Nowhe...To the last Anon: Please reread the posting. Nowhere is there anything but a denunciation of voter fraud.<br /><br />There has been a handful of prosecutions in Wisconsin since the 2004 election. You are treating a myth as a reality.<br /><br />Your blanket attack on immigration is mind-boggling. Immigrants always revive the culture - - and many people here today are distant relatives not only of immigrants, but immigrants who came, jumped ship in the harbor.<br /><br />Immigrants contribute to the economy, pay taxes and often do jobs that others will not do.<br /><br />The US is not a welfare state. It has social programs, but hardly meets the traditional definition of a welfare state.James Rowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10203270946492159686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-47150795846320055092010-11-13T11:10:04.271-06:002010-11-13T11:10:04.271-06:00James: what is the difference between a Republican...James: what is the difference between a Republican who only votes along party lines and you? I have never seen anything that you disagree with on any key democratic cause.<br /><br />I want to know how 20+ million people from third world countries are good for America. These people are undercutting low skilled American jobs, filling emergency rooms, and taking money from taxpayer funded social net programs. It is no longer logical to be a welfare state and allow millions to come here without a penny and reap free benefits, while American citizens--of all ethnic backgrounds--suffer unemployment, loss of health care, foreclosures, etc.<br /><br />After amnesty, what stops the flood of even more across the border? Many already use dead peoples social security numbers, now you want them to vote? They have that right in their country, not here. Go ahead, keep calling this "mean" or "unfair." Watch the democrats lose power until THEY learn to govern from the center. Stopping illegal immigration has become a central issue a majority of America wants.<br /><br />Voter I.D. is a common sense issue that most people consider reasonable and logical. This should be a "central" issue voters on both sides can agree upon. However, Democrats want people to commit voter fraud because it benefits them to have people using false identities. With elections being incredibly close, there is no room for fraud.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-71974849167883912202010-11-12T18:25:14.685-06:002010-11-12T18:25:14.685-06:00Excuses, excuses...

There were provisisions for poor people to receive free Wisconsin id's.<br /><br />Doyle and the Democrats killed Voter id, TWICE, ostensibly for the same reason Rowen posits: because the Dems could. So yes, Voter id WILL be the first law to go. I demand it!<br /><br />The second law to be rescinded will be the statewide smoking ban in Wisconsin. That matter WILL be up to tavern and restaurant owners to decide--not pc correct progressive nannies. If a tavern owner posts "no smoking" then that establishment will have no smoking. Understand that simple concept of freedom and choice?<br /><br />That's tough poopoo for non-smoking patrons or tavern employees. They can find work in non-smoking places. Just as you National Socialists forced this travesty on us--we are going to shove it back down your throats.<br /><br />You Lefties ready to dance? And yes, we are going to kill that stupid train, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-33629775432869207762010-11-12T15:02:51.304-06:002010-11-12T15:02:51.304-06:00Well, Anonymous, this may come as a shock but ever...Well, Anonymous, this may come as a shock but everyone does not live where you live or how you live.<br /><br />They don't drive. They don't have a car or a driver's license. But they are just as entitled to vote as you are. <br /><br />And putting up more barriers for them will result in some of them not voting. <br /><br />There are plenty of safeguards and ID requirements for registerign to vote. Requiring voters to show ID at the polls is unnecessary and will be disruptive, not to mention causing some perfectly legitimate voters to be turned away. But that, of course, is the goal.xoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846380556286798188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-31420608283463262962010-11-12T13:11:26.858-06:002010-11-12T13:11:26.858-06:00Everyone can still vote, they will just need to pr...Everyone can still vote, they will just need to provide an ID as they do when they rent a movie. If you drive to the poll you are required to have a DL to drive the car so just pull it out and show it.<br /><br />The only people upset about voter ID are those that hope to gain an advantage by not using it. Why else would you not want to show who you are to exercise you right to vote?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
