Outrageous.
Yesterday, Karen and I stepped into the Apple retail store in Century City, purchased the nifty new iPad and the nice Apple salesman would not run our credit card without proof of I.D.
I was wearing my yarmulke, so maybe Apple is, y’know, anti-Semitic.
But no, not likely because I saw them asking for ID from black people, Asians, Latinos, Muslims, and gasp! White Anglos.
Okay, I get it, everyone has to show ID in order to circumvent fraud. Because the world is full of liars and thieves and cheats and unless productive members of society take common sense measures to protect the honest from the dishonest chaos will result.
But when it comes to voting Attorney General Eric Holder apparently believes that showing ID is, brace yourselves, just like the Poll Tax.
Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday he opposes a new photo ID requirement in Texas elections because it would be harmful to minority voters.
In remarks to the NAACP in Houston, the attorney general said the Justice Department “will not allow political pretexts to disenfranchise American citizens of their most precious right.”
Addressing the NAACP convention in Houston, Texas on Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder said despite the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down most of Arizona’s voter ID law, he remains wary of the provision that allows local law enforcement to verify the immigration status of anyone they suspect to be illegal.
Under the law passed in Texas, Holder said that “many of those without IDs would have to travel great distances to get them — and some would struggle to pay for the documents they might need to obtain them.”
“We call those poll taxes,” Holder added spontaneously, drawing applause as he moved away from the original text of his speech with a reference to a fee used in some Southern states after slavery’s abolition to disenfranchise black people.
The Democrat talking points are this:
1. Asking for ID is racist.
2. There is no reason to ask for ID because there is no voter fraud.
To which we respond:
1. Every American should be required to show ID in order to vote in an election.
2. Saying there is no voter fraud is like saying that we live in prelapsarian Eden.
Furthermore, the State of Texas will issue a free Election Identification Card if requested.
What’s really going on is very simple. The Democrats count on the votes of dead people, felons, and illegal immigrants. Especially in the upcoming election which promises to be close.
Eric Holder is supposed to be the chief law enforcement officer of these United States. Instead he’s just another vulgar race hustler whose primary job is trolling America’s underbelly for Democrat votes.

I have been a poll worker in NC. You would not believe the people who come to vote and willingly pull their state issued driver’s license, both Democrat & Republican. However, in training for the pole work we were admonished that even if people offered their ID we were not to take it.
If our media had any since of morality they would state the obvious, that those opposed to voter ID laws, seek to benefit from the votes of people who are not eligible to vote. It is aiding and abetting fraud for the benefit of one party over another.
I feel like we live in 1984.
Robert has their ever been a good movie of Orwell’s master piece?

Our media have become the Democrat equivilent of Pravda.
The best version of Orwell’s masterpiece is the 1984 British version: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087803/.
Richard Burton gives the best, most understated perfprmance of his career.

Can’t add anything to what you said, Robert –
Well, when it is close they try every which way to cheat – look at Al Franken vs Norm Coleman in MN – and the mysterious “votes’ someone found in their car giving it to Franken.

That’s why Hugh Hewiit wrote a book called “If It’s Not Close They Can’t Cheat.”

Here in Canada (daren’t say great white north-could be too politically incorrect for this topic) we’ve had a requirement for photo ID for voting in federal elections for over 10 years.There’s been no big thing over it, after all one needs photo ID for almost everything these days, and it wasn’t mean old conservatives that started it, it was the Liberal party of Canada that brought in the ID requirement. To me the only argument against ID for voting that i can think of is to allow people who are ineligible, to vote.intentional fraud.

In America over 80% of the American public supports voter ID laws. Thus, according to Democrat talking points 80% of Americans are racists.

The Democrats argue that voting is a constitutional right that must not be impeded in any way. Fair enough.
But of course there is a 2nd Amendment which spells out a direct constitutional right. I seriously doubt there is a liberal alive that thinks I can buy a gun without showing ID and filling out reams of paperwork. Doesn’t that discriminate against people that can’t read or write?
After the Indiana case why does the DOJ keep fighting voter ID? Can Holder bring forth one voter that lost the franchise because they couldn’t get a valid ID?
Democrats claim there is no voter fraud and make it impossible to prove such fraud. What a racket.

Nine years ago when I went to vote—now we do it by mail ballot—I saw that our son’s name was still on the roll. I alerted the poll watchers to this and they said they’d take care of it when Ariel’s death was “officially confrmed” —whatever that means. A year later I went back and Ariel’s name was still there. Again, I told them, again they gave me the same answer. Five years after his death his name was finally removed from the voting roll.
