Voting Should Be Mandatory: Obama

[nate]

Or stealing or being deceptive.

[wopphil]

Obama is just trying to get attention now that he has become irrelevant.

Just 599 more days of this assclown.

[Adam]

Bring on the next assclown!

Hold on a second...if one party doesn't have ideas that are popular with a larger voting pool...the answer isn't to shrink the voting pool but either adjust your policies or do a better job of explaining why your ideas are better.

 

It is fair and democratic to have a larger electorate.

Would love to have more people participating. Maybe Barry is right and the sheer volume of those voting will counteract the influence of lobbyists. It's worth a try.

But if his goal is simply to keep his party in a position of power, that seems contradictory to the whole process, does it not? And yes, I know all politicians want to keep their own party in power.

You think voter ID and scaling back voting access isn't about keeping a party in power?

Voters without any form of ID are so sophisticated they have evolved beyond the need for such mundane documentation mechanisms.

Everyone is already voting. It's just a lot ballots cast for none of the above.

aul Carroll, an 86-year-old World War II veteran who has lived in the same Ohio town for four decades, was denied a chance to vote in the state's primary contests today after a poll worker denied his form of identification, a recently-acquired photo ID from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The poll worker rejected the ID because it did not contain an address, as required by Ohio law.

Carroll told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that he got the ID from the VA after his driver's license expired because he doesn't drive anymore:

Geez, you'd think by age 86 the guy would know his own state's voting laws and come prepared.

Why do you hate WWII veterans?

[red321]

When Obama said "everyone" he even meant dead people, which vote for him by the thousands.

He probably knew he would be turned away.  I wouldn't be surprised if that whole thing was staged:

 

AURORA, Ohio – A Portage County World War II veteran was turned away from a polling place this morning because his driver’s license had expired in January and his new Veterans Affairs ID did not include his home address.

 

What did he do run home and call the media?

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Question: If a person has a driver's license and produces it for ID, why does it matter if it's expired? It's not as if you get a new identity with every license, or that an active license cannot have an outdated address on it.

[HaloMagic]

Same reason you have to register your car every year.

If everyone voted, get ready for our first woman president:

Kurt, is your only purpose in life to be a dick?

Ya nate, it is just me.  I like to stir the pot, as MT knows, but have nothing but respect for you guys, just like to be a dick.  Good thing is you didn't call me a "little" dick.  Take me for a grain of salt. 

[AngelsLongBall]

If everyone voted, get ready for our first woman president:

Rate This President just doesn't have a good ring to it.

Her boobs could give the State of the Union address. Every TV in America would be tuned in.
