Why shouldn't I have to show an ID to vote?

ACLU is pushing the suit.

I don't know how national elections can be rigged. The whole process is so decentralized, that no one entity would be able to control it or possible know where which ballots needed to be fixed. If Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris had wanted to rig FL in 2000, don't you think they'd have done it by more than 547 votes when there were many thousands of absentee ballots that wouldn't be counted for a while? And then you have the polling stations in earlier time zones, where the voters might just go home instead of to the polls when they hear eastern states already called on the radio.

FL. was still voting in the panhandle when CBS called it for gore, and don't forget, they (dems) didn't want the absentee military ballots counted.

It is too easy for generation after generation to sit there with their hand out instead of trying to improve their own situation.

Isn't that fact exactly what I was adressing? Did I not state that case rather succinctly?

Of course, if the bleeding hearts care soooo much about the poor, why don't they go out and support them without reaching for my wallet?

Probably because you have made your concern for the safety of your wallet such a big issue that the poor, slovenly bastards can't resist going after it! What other explanation is there? Seriously!

There are plenty of bleeding hearts in this country to go around, they could wipe out hunger and poverty themselves if they really cared but they just don't care that much. They just pretend like they do. hitlary Clinton pretends to care, but if she really cared she might spend some of her $15 million she has sitting on the bank to take care of them, She could pay for allot of heath care if she cared enough to spend her own money instead of mine.

You got that right (do NOT vote for her!)!

I'm a heartless bastard and I bet I feed more impoverished people every year than most bleeding heart libs. I do it by choice, not because some poverty-pimp politician decided I had to.

If you're going to be a self proclaimed heartless bastard, you are certainly doing so in as honorable a way as I suspect you are able to - I give you credit for that; if only more among us could be so firm yet so understanding and magnaminous the world would be a kinder and gentler place (if you realy want that kind of wimp-ass world).

Also, when I do they have to sit through a lecture.

Damn straight!

That in itself is probably enough to force them to straighten up and get a job just so they don't have to listen to me

Uhh....don't want to appear to be negative, but I don't think the lectures are well recieved and doing much good, i.e., keep your eye on your wallet!
