Democratic Party Dirty Tricks

The Donks are at it again. They almost unanimously voted against requiring some form of identification in order to vote. Why are they so adamant? The State of Georgia recently passed such a law but a Liberal judge struck it down after Democrats argued that it would make it difficult for poor people to vote because most of them don’t have drivers’ licenses or passports .... even though the State of Georgia offered to pass out FREE ID cards to anyone who needed one. Hell, they even offered to go to the people’s houses to deliver the ID cards. Yet the Donks still objected.

Now a similar bill has passed in Congress over the (again) objections of Democrats. You can probably guess why they object. It is because it might stop them from having dead people vote (like happens in Chicago in every election) or it might make it harder for them to go around town in vans picking up homeless people and paying them $5 to vote Democratic (like happened in Miami the last two elections).

The Donks are crooks and liars and if this doesn’t prove it to you then you need a recto-cranial extraction performed. Give me a call to setup an appointment today. I will include a FREE bullshit detector in the deal ....

House Bill To Require Voter ID Passes
_{(WASHINGTON TIMES) - September 21, 2006}

The House yesterday passed legislation that would require voters to show a valid photo identification in federal elections over the overwhelming objections of Democrats who compared the bill to segregation-era measures aimed at disenfranchising Southern blacks.

The Federal Election Integrity Act was approved on a nearly party-line 228-196 vote. Republicans backed the bill 224-3, with three nonvoters; Democrats opposed it 192-4, with five nonvoters. They were joined in opposition by the House’s one independent member.

The bill, which faces an uncertain future in the Senate, is part of a Republican effort to complete before the November elections a package of proposals aimed at curbing illegal immigration and its effects on ordinary Americans.

The so-called “Voter ID” bill, aimed at stamping out voter fraud, would require voters in federal elections to provide picture identification by 2008 and provide proof of U.S. citizenship by 2010. It was among the recommendations made last year by the bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform, headed by former President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, and former Secretary of State James A. Baker III, a Republican.

“Effective voter registration and voter identification are bedrocks of a modern election system,” they wrote in their final report. But Democrats, siding with groups that work on behalf of minorities and illegal aliens, called the bill a “modern-day poll tax” and said it would place an insurmountable burden on voters and infringe upon their voting rights.

Rep. Brian Bilbray, California Republican, countered that the real infringement upon voting rights would be allowing fraudulent votes by the dead or illegal “to cancel out legitimate votes. That is the violation of the Voters Rights Act that we have not addressed,” he told colleagues before the vote.

Democrats, who have long demanded reforms to the federal voting process, yesterday dismissed Republican concerns about voter fraud. “Show me the examples of the problem you’re trying to solve,” demanded Minority Whip Steny H. Hoyer, Maryland Democrat who accused Republicans of trying to appeal to the “fear and—yes, perhaps—the prejudices of people.”

A Republican cited a study by Johns Hopkins University that found 1,500 dead people who had voted in recent elections. Mr. Hoyer belittled the study, saying no criminal convictions for voter fraud had been won in any of those cases. Mr. Bilbray pointed out that such convictions might be obtained if proper identification were required.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
