So you think that a requirement to show a picture ID is racist? Race has nothing to do with it. I detest the son of a bitch (literally) because he's a incompetent marxist.
What's your opinion on this one?

BTW, I took this from DU years ago. If I replace President Bush with obama, would you still be OK with it?

1. I don't think it is because President Obama has dark skin.
I think it is because the Republican brand is becoming more and more unpopular, and they increasingly have to resort to dirty tricks in order to win elections. I think they are using many people's distaste for undocumented workers, which may be based in racism, to champion disenfranchising many legal voters who would normally vote for Democrats.
We learned all of our dirty tricks from you.

13. In your entire State it is legal to discriminate against LGBT people in housing or
employment or the offering of services. So rest comfortable knowing that PA has more problems than just the racism.
Stick it up your ass.
As to Voter ID, we wanted it way before obama was even know to more that just a few muslim idiots.

Today railroads and hotels, along with almost all providers of public accommodations in almost all circumstances, are prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race. So what happens when you ride on Amtrak, the government-subsidized railroad? You hear an announcement over the PA system advising you to be prepared to show your identification if the conductor asks to see it.
Likewise, these days there is a good chance you will be asked for identification when you check into a hotel. You need ID to board an airplane or to drive a car. Recently I visited a doctor whose office is in a hospital. Just to enter the premises, I needed to present ID to a security guard.
If black people have trouble producing identification, how come nobody ever claims that these requirements are discriminatory?
Another important aspect of civil rights is equal employment opportunity. Under the 1986 immigration law, when you are hired for a job, you are required to provide your employer with documents proving both your identity and your citizenship or legal residency. How come nobody ever claims these requirements discriminate against blacks?
It is possible that the ID requirements for planes, trains, automobiles, hotels, hospitals and jobs have justifications so compelling as to justify discrimination. It is also possible that, by contrast, preventing election fraud is not a sufficiently compelling justification. The point here is that no one has ever had to make the former argument, because nobody claims ID requirements are discriminatory against blacks except when it comes to voting.

It's amazing that the DUmmies that claim that they cannot get a picture ID in order to vote can produce one to gain entry to above mentioned places.

It's a dirty trick to ask someone to prove they are eligible to vote by proving who they actually are? Wow!

You have to show ID to get on the government welfare programs yet providing ID to vote is bad because it discriminates against poor people. The DUchebags assume that poor people are usually black. Of course that is not racist.
-
The answer is simple. We all know why Democrats don't want voter ID laws. It would hurt their voter turnout numbers. You know, where a district's turnout rate is 125% of their registered voters. :whistling:

Since logical thought doesn't seem to be your forte, DUmbass, I'll break this down to your bumper sticker level: If you can show ID to cash your welfare check, you can show it to vote.
Understand it now, ****wit?

DUmmies seem to think that it's racist to ask for id before a person can vote. How do they reconcile the huge turn out of black voters when obama ran I'm 2008 & 2012 cpmpated to the lackluster black voter turn out in previous elections when there was no black candidate?

DUmmies don't "wake up."
They "come to".

This. We've been calling for voter ID laws for years, DUmbasses.
