Okay, I'll play...it also costs money to get to a polling station. Is that a "poll tax"?
It also costs money to have clothes to wear to the polling station.
Etc., etc.

As for "fucking classic"...my point was that if a person is uninformed and lazy as kane's nephew is (at this point in his life)...then all he will do is vote Democrat to get as much big govt. as he can.

I didn't "tell others they shouldn't be voting". I'm saying that being able to vote is a pretty big deal. But YOU and others like you apparently don't take it very seriously.

Of course he CAN vote even though he is a person with literally no knowledge of WHAT he is voting for.
I simply said, he probably won't vote and it's a good thing for what's left of the country.

I'm trying to contribute an honest opinion in this conversation. If you don't agree with what I'm saying then give yours instead of your drive by acerbic comments on what I said. You are contributing nothing intellectual to this.

Does having a picture ID = a polling tax? I guess you could extrapolate to that. But it's really, really grasping at straws. Especially since (as you know) EVERYBODY has to have an ID to do just about anything in life. (unless they are a homeless bum living on the streets).
Just getting your electricity turned on, for instance, requires an ID and a credit check for God's sake.

Getting an ID is essential to be a functioning citizen in 2013. And has been for decades.

BUT...let's use your extrapolation and pretend that all Democrats are too stupid, lazy, poor, and/or illegal aliens and just can't get themselves an ID.

Alrighty then!
Seems to me that if the Democrat party is so worried about it, then let's pass a law making a govt. issued picture ID...FREE.
No, not your drivers license, but a picture ID.

Now there would be no excuse.

But guess what? I'll bet that the Democrat Party would STILL be whining. Because it would disrupt their "ground game" where their local chapters ARE committing voting fraud and getting away with it undetected.

And by the way...Dems aren't the only ones.

For all you Democrats whining and saying that Voter Fraud doesn't exist: Just ask Al Gore what happened in 2000.
There's more than one way to fix an election. And both parties are experts.
