Reply #3: "A Tennessee Pissin' Match" X-Posted from a GD thread

[galloglas]

Paul Lehto (DU's Land Shark) posted an article earlier this week about the Voter ID issue as carried by an editorial in the Tennessean. It was an excellent OpEd.

And, as I am from Missouri, I was particularly interested because we have our own state Photo Voter ID bill pending in front of our Supreme Court. You can find the OpEd at the URL below.

I went to the Tennessean to read the article. I also found a place for interactive reader comments, so I posted my viewpoint, and it was like walking into a swarm of Killer Bees.

To cut to the chase, it was as if every Moss-Backed GOP Red Stater had been mailed a set of talking points by Karl Rove himself about Photo Voter IDs! I see it at the Tennessean and I saw it here at DU when HR 4844 was brought up.

Same old points.

We just MUST pass a Photo Voter ID bill, or every single illegal alien will sneak in to our polls (risking life, limb, and incarceration) to vote Democratic!!

And, if a person doesn't think about it twice, Photo ID seems to makes sense (as in "Why not ??").

That is, until you understand that there are about 13 million currently registered and voting Americans (mostly Democrats) who would lose their ability to ever vote again.

Now this thread reveals the Real Truth. The "Voter Fraud" is being done by the GOP!

Anyway, all of you who will discuss this over the next two years (and you will) are going to to hear the same old lies from the GOP. Find some of them at the URL below, FYI, at the Tennessean's own "Tennessee Pissing Match".

Please note that yours truly, Galloglas, NEVER gets a straight answer from any one of these phony posters.
