2. What insanity have we come to?

Or, to be clear, what have insane TP (toilet paper or tea party...either fits) Republicans brought our democracy to...for shame.

3. Then he needs to use his show...

as a platform against this ridiculous law, until it is repealed.

4. Really?????? No shit, Jimbo...

You just figured this out, eh? What's it like to have a two-digit I.Q.?

[treestar]

5. why not?

does he have a passport? The document that releases one from the military? Or will those not do per the PA law?

[WooWooWoo]

7. don't you need a photo id?

a DD214 (the document that releases you from the military) doesn't have your photo on it.

8. Wow interesting

military has no photo ID. But that could be combined with a passport. Though he might have a hard time with that given no BC.

Though laws provide for secondary evidence where there is no BC.

Still, they let him into the military! They let him serve this country in the military and are going to pretend that doesn't prove he's a citizen?

Really hypocritical.

[WooWooWoo]

11. i'd like to see him put his old uniform on

go to the polling place, and let the workers there deny him his vote.

that scene would make the news.

6. Screw you, Cramer!

Did you catch the "end" of the story? Some kind soul up the ladder in Pa. has since "fixed" the problem. Now Cramer's dad is taken care of and can vote. What are the odds he'll speak out on behalf of the thousands of Pa. voters who don't have a tv loudmouth for a dad?

Crickets, right?

[ecstatic]

10. I just saw that!

Unbelievable! Once again, I'm furious! Voting shouldn't be about who you know!!!! Will that loud mouthed clown speak up for the rest of PA? I highly doubt it, but I'd be happy if he did! Not holding my breath...

9. My heart bleeds

Cramer was instrumental in starting this insane Teabagger movement.

Now he's feeling the consequences.

Suck on it.

12. Every single voter affected

should tweet their problem. Try to do as Cramer had done. GO TO TWITTER. Magnify the problem.

13. I wonder why he can't prove his citizenship? You get a birth certificate & a photo ID.

Does PA not issue a photo ID that is not a driver's license?

Having said that, THIS WHOLE VOTER ID THING IS SICKENING! It is so wrong! Why the hell do they need a photo!!!!
