Americans Want Voter ID ‘Because There Is a Brother in the White House’
Polls show that about 80% of Americans support photo voter identification laws. A majority of whites, blacks, Hispanics, Democrats, and Republicans support voter ID. Why do so many people want voter ID laws?
According to Richmond, Virginia, Mayor Dwight Jones, “because there is a brother in the White House.”
Here’s a secret. I’ve been following the voter ID debate for seven years. In fact, I’ve even been involved in some legislative plotting in various states to pass voter ID. And I can say with one hand on a Bible, and one hand in the air, that I’ve never once heard any voter ID proponent suggest that a “brother in the White House” has anything to do with it. This is pure, simple, racialist nonsense from the mayor of Richmond.
Of course if you’ve read my book Injustice, you’d already know that a favorite tool of those opposing voter integrity laws is pure, simple, racialist nonsense. The civil rights industry, the accidental heir to the civil rights movement, uses race to create a smokescreen for criminal wrongdoing. The stories in my book from Hale and Perry County, Alabama, are downright disgusting and disturbing.
Prior to the entry of guilty pleas to multiple voter fraud indictments, a civil rights rally was held for the not-yet guilty in Greensboro, Alabama. From Injustice:
In a stunning display of racial solidarity, more than 200 people, almost all black, packed their arraignment hearing and loudly applauded when not guilty pleas were entered. In a corrupt appropriation of the moral authority of the civil rights movement, they wore t-shirts that said, “Greensboro 2: Injustice Anywhere is a Threat to Justice Everywhere.” Outside the courthouse, supporters held hands in a huge circle, sang songs from the civil rights movement, and prayed for the defendants’ legal deliverance.
Soon after the rally, the “victims” entered guilty pleas and became “felons.” And this is just one example of dozens.
If you genuinely oppose voter ID, you might call Mayor Dwight “Bloody Shirt” Jones and let him know he does your cause no favors by such preposterous racialist rhetoric. He is marginalizing your cause to most reasonable Americans. He can be reached at (804) 646-7970.
This American wants voter ID because Democrats cheat.
You obviously live in the people’a republic of Chicago!!!
Or Nevada, New York, Indiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, New Hampshire, or California. It is important to recognize that various types of voter fraud are widespread. This isn’t just the Chicago graveyard vote.
Or Texas. Please don’t forget LBJ when the topic of stealing elections comes up.
Or New Mexico, where anyone, regardless of citizenship or residence can get a driver’s license and vote as often as s/he wants.
Don’t even try to show an ID in this state or you will be chastized by the corroptocrats who staff the polling places for creating a hostile environment.
Also, if you vote here, get in and out quickly before the Democratic Party buses arrive.
Perhaps I shouldn’t fret over it since the overt agenda is to return the state to Mexico where the corruption will be consistent with the rest of the country!
Minnesota. Al Franken. “Keep re-counting till the votes go Democrat.”
A simple way to portray this view that Republicans are racist by default is to ask ourselves which party supports current political constructs formally organized around race in mainstream organizational charters or law. Off hand, I can’t think of a single one the Rep Party supports.
On the part of the Dem Party, they support and include in their midst, ACORN, the NAACP, La Raza, the Congressional Black Caucus, affirmative action, hate crime, the Black Police Association in various cities, the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement and on and on and on. The list is seemingly endless.
The amount of doublethink necessary to portray the Tea Party as racist though it possesses no such racial charter and though there is no Congressional White Caucus is incredible given the NAACP’s Image Awards which give out arts awards based solely on race – were the Tea Party or any white group to do such a thing they would be pilloried as racists as is evidenced by the fact they are anyway despite no such activities.
The usual counterargument is that whites in 2012 don’t have to still fight a legacy of Jim Crow but as white baseball leagues fade ever further into the past there must surely be a limit to such things and we all know in reality that there is no expiration date for the NAACP or any of the mentioned entities other than perhaps affirmative action.
It is true there was an obvious imperative for the NAACP and other such organizations 50 and more years ago but they have morphed into something else now that we are in the 21st century. One cannot excuse continued racial advocacy from minorities simply because they come up with increasingly bizarre, arcane and self-contradictory contemporary arguments to present as analogues to Jim Crow such as “White Privilege” and “The New Jim Crow.”
The issue all along before the Civil Rights era had been institutional racism and now that it is gone the argument is that racism is still here. Well racism will always be everywhere when it comes to individuals and that cannot be managed by gov’t other than by laws which are already in place.
Institutionalizing racism by those supposedly most against it doesn’t even make sense unless the word “justice” has come to mean whatever is good for black folks. According to Eric Holder and the entirety of the black Left “Payback Machine” in America, that is exactly what is happening as the simple idea of what is good for the goose is good for the gander is too complex a perception for them to understand and well as inconvenient for their purposes. The Rep Party isn’t mostly white because they wish it so but because black folks won’t stop voting by the color of their skin rather than issues like, ironically, the very culture they most accuse of racism does.
These arguments are difficult to counter factually and the Left must then resort to cheap psychology like post-traumatic slave syndrome which is a very real thing groups on the Left use. It’s a good thing Jews coming out of a thousand years and more of bigotry in Europe in 1945 didn’t know about this generational lack of self-esteem that paralyses cultures otherwise they may never have achieved the stunning feat of creating a country only 3 years after death camps and against considerable odds. Seen in that light, affirmative action in a far friendlier American environment seems depraved and the idea on the Left that success can be achieved by virtue of complaint and blame equally so.
Stellar post. How comforting it is to see someone else articulate so well the incredible irony associated with institutionalized reverse racism & how the left has so deftly utilized it for political gain over the course of all these years. Amazing how few in the black community realize that they have been used as pawns in this sinister game. They cannot get past the idea that somehow they benefit from all of this when, in the long run, they really do not. Is it any small wonder the soft bigotry of low expectations perpetuates itself time & again from one generation of whites (& other races as well) to another? If only more in the black community would wake up to this fact & act accordingly. But nooooooo……
Republicans should be monitoring The Root, a black culture website run by Henry Gates of the famous Cambridge dust up where a police officer and himself ended up having a “beer summit” with the President.
Considering The Root is owned by the Washington Post, the number of hit pieces on white folks, casual racism and the level of hate-speech-lite is astounding. The Root, with main stream ads and the participation of all media sectors of the black community, offers a wide insight into the state of mind of black America and it is a stunner. The Root is practically a mirror image of Stormfront or David Duke and the level of denial and childish accusation and urban myths about whites together with the lack of any real sense of proportion, context, comparative logic or fair play is pretty amazing to behold from adults.
Thegrio is another similar site.
And TheGrio is, surprise, owned by NBC/Universal and, surprise, MSNBC is hiring outright racists like Al Sharpton and Melissa Harris-Perry. The Root and TheGrio are only 2 of dozens of such sites and the similarity between the mindset of them all is boggling. Rather than an overarching philosophy that is consistent, such sites basically posit that white folks are bad and black folks are good and their “facts” and “logic” point in whatever direction enables this. On the other hand, when it comes to ferreting out white racism, the most simple fundamentals of qualitative comparative analysis are like the mystery of the Sphinx.
Appreciate that heads up. Hopefully other posters in here will take a gander at that website as well.
You’ve got it brother. The Government Plantation Mentality!!!!!!
I want to know why these people feel that blacks, as this is their most often used example, are incapable of doing what most white people do? Do they feel they are inferior intellectually? That they are incapable of getting a free ride to get a free id? That somehow these people cannot figure this out?
I’m not a black person, but if I were, I’d be outraged that these people think so little of my abilities and capabilities of functioning in a modern society. That somehow I need them to protect me from getting a plastic card with my name and picture on it because obviously the task is beyond what I’m capable of doing.
Those are good questions which are not easy to answer. It has been my impression that the black community has a strong element of cohesiveness (tribalism of a sort) characterized by a strong adherence to groupthink. They don’t exhibit a very strong predilection towards the habit of thinking outside the box. A case of “That’s my story & I’m sticking to it” brand of buying into the predominant influences in their lives. Example: So many of them in the urban setting accept the misguided principle that working hard & getting a good education is a case of “acting white.” Such an attitude keeps them mired in poverty, dwelling in the drug trade. Liberal politicians do their best to perpetuate this.
No Sir Dwight it is because of voter fraud mostly committed by the democrat party and we aim to put a stop to it starting right here and now, I am sure you are for fair elections now aren’t you?
Dwight, I don’t really care if the person in the White House is a brother, a sister, an uncle or your fairy godmother but when we have a vote thief in the White House, I think we should have voter ID. What do you think?
He’s not MY brother.
‘Why do so many people want voter ID laws? According to Richmond, Virginia, Mayor Dwight Jones, “because there is a brother in the White House.”’
Well, I’d like to see it, because one of our political parties (that would be the “Democrats”) has a long, long history of rigging elections, using every dirty trick in the book, up to, and including, murdering (probably) thousands of people who the Democrats suspected were going to vote for the other party (most of whom looked kinda like Dwight Jones, btw).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Shirts_(Southern_United_States)
Some of us don’t trust the Democrats (and we have real good reasons not to), and we want to make sure they don’t resume their past bad habits. And, that includes their colorful little custom of voting early…and often.
What a racist he is! No way it could be related to preventing cheating because politicians are as clean as the wind driven snow in Antarctica.
Then wouldn’t we want voter I.D. BEFORE there was a brother in the White House?
we did and many states established these rules. Not sure where you have been.
What I want to know is simple: How long are we going to put up with being bullied by people like this Richmond mayor? This crap MUST stop. We need to take back control of America from the leftist socialist bullies of ANY color. By force, if necessary.
It’s not a case of being bullied by individuals but of the atmosphere in America that allows the racialist Left to get away with obvious hate speech and racist practices while the Right’s remarks are parsed in any direction to me racism.
A good place to start the fight would be to write MSNBC’s advertisers and include a few quotes from the writings of Sharpton and Harris-Perry that would be obviously unacceptable if said by whites. Hit them where it hurts, in the pocketbook. On the other side of the coin, Fox, despite the casual claim it is a racist “code” talking network, would be immune from such quotes since they don’t exist.
Amen! The time will very soon be here.
how about– many on the left will ignore reality because there is a brother in the white house
Mayor Dwight Jones opposes voter ID legislation because rule of law and an orderly society as represented by fair elections are less important than keeping a brotha in the White House. Cue the Curtis Mayfield music.
Couldn’t this man be charged with HATE speech? Shouldn’t he have to resign? After all he insinuated that white people are out to “get” black people. Not only is that a lie, it’s racist and bigoted. If any other race of politician said that he’s have been hounded out of office.
Blacks only make up 12% of the population but some of their leaders demand half of the jobs. So I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at this kind of rhetoric.
They have close to half of all federal government jobs in DC.
Eric, It’s just NOT D.C. Look inside any gov’t office be it county, state, or federal and see what type of a count you get on ethnicity.. Take your pick…
While the Mayor is clearly participating in hate speech, it is not covered by the laws. Hate crime laws cover hate acts against only certain protected classes in society (you know which) and non-brothers, while they can be subjects of racial hatred, are not protected. That’s why they call it reverse racism (huh?), instead of just plain racism, as if racism against whites is an unusual aberration and requires a special term to cover it.
There was a time when whites disliked blacks because they believed them to be sub-human, inferior, and only good for physical labor. That was clear racism.
These days, a lot of whites, myself included, don’t care for blacks because of politics. Their constant whining, accusations of racism, demands for social “justice”, and other manifestations of plantation Liberalism turn my stomach. I have none of the old prejudices and have had black friends. I love reading and listening to Walter Williams and Tom Sowell. Is it racism to be openly hostile to the political beliefs of the majority of blacks? If so I guess I’m guilty as charged.
Not sure I agree with much of what you say. However, the charge of racism has lost all meaning.
I agree with what he says: disliking the value system of the NAACP isn’t racism and neither is disliking the value system of the Rep Party. And the term racism has only lost meaning because of people who are easily confused. Just because the NAACP complains about “black ho’s” rather than “black holes” in a Hallmark graduation card doesn’t mean racism is a meaningless term, far from it.
“they believed them to be sub-human, inferior, and only good for physical labor.”
I grew up in a time in place when white supremacy was as common and accepted as the air one breathed, but we lived largely in an agricultural/small town society where Blacks and Whites lived and worked side by side. They didn’t dislike each other in the general run of their daily lives. When my father, a longtime, small town merchant was buried in the ’90s there were many Blacks at his burial.
The real root of virulent racism and violence in The South was the fact that an illiterate White boy and an illiterate Black boy were identical on a Yankee industry’s application form, which didn’t have a “Who’s your daddy?” block. Poor Whites and poor Whites were played against each other for a century and neither of them were smart enough to ever figure out that it was because they were poor that they were being played by the Southern, and some Northern, ruling class.
The interesting thing is that I like most of my peers grew up with Blacks, had Black playmates, at least during the farming season before we were old enough to work ourselves. Today, there aren’t any White Only signs anymore, but The South is far, far more segregated than it ever was in the Jim Crow days. Blacks and Whites might work together and go to school together, but at the end of the work day or school day, they go home to their totally separate worlds.
Art, you said, “Poor Whites and poor Whites were played against each other …”
Do you mean, poor whites and poor blacks were played against each other?
Yeah, that’s what happens when you’re typing and watching “Game of Thrones” re-runs at the same time; that blonde makes me lose my concentration when she’s naked.
And any major city both in the south and liberal north are completely black. So what’s your point? Blacks have segregated themselves. Have you ever lived near today’s blacks? They have totally regressed in so many ways, it is pathetic.
Geez if you can’t figure out the Dem party and white and black progressives have sold the blacks a bill of goods then the whole argument is useless. Blacks have been led off one plantation owned by Dems onto another.
White Americans have turned themselves inside out in an effort to be forgiven-and for what? Look we are inside a month dedicated to blacks. Yet we have this moron mayor still saying things against white Americans. I am sick and tired of it.
If he and Dear Leader “bro” want a race war, let’s have at it. NFL Ray Lewis said that if they are not going to play this year, we will have a few hundred black players to contend with. I say bring it on.
Did you notice that Martin Luther King Jr. talked about opportunity, while these people are talking about justice.
Justice, in this case, is a relative issue, that allows government actions like the one in the New Black Ranters case.
No more Affirmative Action presidents! Ever…

Amen to that. It’s because of Obama’s case of being an AA POTUS that our side is witness to such a lackluster field of presidential candidates. The ones with the guts are sitting it out because they know they cannot go in there & just go down without a fight but the price of being labeled as “racists” & possibly playing a role in prompting riots in the streets (a distinct probability if there is even a hint of controversy over an Obama loss this fall, a la Dubya in 2000). It’s a bitter lesson that I hope & pray the American people actually learn from.
Don’t kid yourself…..there’ll be riots even if he should win…tradition you know?
This american wants voter ID because their is a communst in the WH with lots of backing from the excessively corrup “chicago machine”, you know, the place where the dead vote early and often.
Wouldn’t it be racist to not vote Obama out? By any measure he’s an abject failure, by his own words he’s failed. And yet we’re supposed to hold him to a lower standard than we would a white President?
Mayor Dwight Jones should be saying “Stand up for equal rights, Vote Obama OUT!”. But, he’s a racist, he’s willing to accept lower standards for “a brother” because he knows blacks can’t compete. Worse still, if Obama and Holder embody “blackness” then Mayor Dwight Jones is right – blacks are inherently inferior.
Those who oppose voter ID might as well come out and admit that they want to continue giving political machines the opportunity to commit voter fraud. That’s what it boils down to.
sanity, reason, logic. any of those words describe the mental abilities necessary to understand the need to safeguard our liberties. the people wanting to destroy our country and institute “fairness” (read marxism) are easily spotted, which is to our advantage. spouting the stupidity of the left was so 5 minutes ago, months ago. if this tired racism rhetoric is what we have to listen to this entire long hot summer, it is going to drive all moderates right.
the gunrunner holder and his latest messiah have a game plan. everybody is going to be looking, filming and reporting attempts of voter fraud during the next election. with that many eyes looking on, the cheating is going to have to go beneath the surface.
i suggest tampering with the voting machines in key close districts may well be on the menu for november. there was some hint of this in honduras when obiwon tried to forcefully (politically) insert a marxist presidente (zelaya) there. rumor has it that after the hondurans outsmarted our clowninchief, his people swooped in and seized all the voting machinery. funny how hard it is to outrun a stench.
didn’t i hear where the seiu unions had a lot of contracts involving voting machines? hmmm. with trickery, we see the one hand, it’s the other that holds the magic. aa always with rats and roaches, you have to check in ALL the creepy corners.
The unintended implication of the Mayor’s statement is that he is sure Obama can’t win without substantial vote fraud.
Living in Canada we are required to show acceptable photo ID when we vote and we don’t have a “brother” Prime Minister. I surmise that if you examine the voting rules for every normal country photo ID would be required.
There is only reason to be against implementing a rule requiring showing ID to vote: Allowance for voter fraud.
Obviously, Dwight Jones is both a race baiting buffoon and thief. Sounds like a capable future candidate for an MSNBC talking head.

False! As the above site reveals, electoral fraud is pervasive in ALL political stripes and spectrums.
In order to protect A voters right to an honest, thoughtful and well run election ALL fraud, from all political parties must be guarded against.
The first line of defence, as this report illustrates is properly identifying each and every voter, early voting ballot, absentee ballot and those too infirm to physically participate in a national, local or municipal election cycle.
This cautionary first step is to Identify a person, their party and ability to read, write, understand and knowledgeably vote in any election.
Voter ID helps prevent fraudulent elections! Period!
“False! As the above site reveals, electoral fraud is pervasive in ALL political stripes and spectrums.”
Baloney. It’s occured in all “political stripes and spectrums”, but it’s only pervasive over on the left side of the spectrum, whence the Democrat Party resides.
We want voter ID because there’s a “brother in the house who lies, cheats, steals, and murders,(Fast and Furious,) would be more like it.
The “brother in the house,” doesn’t want it because he wants to commit fraud.”
You’re all reading it wrong. What he’s saying is that whites aren’t apposed to donkey cheating if it’s a white man like Clinton in the Whitehouse. He’s saying that the only reason we’re upset about dead people voting is the brotha in the Whitehouse. It’s understood by everyone that purpose of no voter ID is to facilitate cheating. We’re just racist for making an issue of it now, when these no ID laws have been on the books since motor-voter.
Mayor Dwight is just talking trash, more politics of distraction. Whatever we do let’s be sure to avoid any real discussion about whether Obama deserves to be re-elected and whether his policies have been helpful to the “brothers”.
It is hard to keep all the rules of Dem. political rhetoric straight, Jesse Jackson wants to castrate Obama but objects to Gov. Brewer using a gesture that was way more polite than the one the Prez directed toward Hillary. Dems care about jobs but not if they are related to a pipeline or a new plant in a right to work state.
Assuming the Mayor has a point, perhaps Obama cannot win if the election is open to living, registered voters with proper identification. Why don’t we find out?
Voter ID is required in all of the Europen countries, i.e. Eu passport, EU drivers license. The mayor is a fool/dem (redundant)hack!
It’s not just WHO you are that voter ID proves, but WHERE you reside. For instance, college students want to vote in their school towns, not their home towns. People who look alike can use the same voter ID photo to vote in several precincts, but if your address is listed on the ID, you can only vote there.
Odd that in a representative democracy there is an expectation that those who vote are actually eligible to do so.
Just more of the Obama campaign strategy. When you can’t run on your record, you have to run against something. This campaign has 3
1. The white man trying to keep me down
2. The rich man trying to keep me down
3. The GOP (code for rich white man) trying to keep me down.
And welcome back to the 60′s. I hope you enjoy your stay.
the proven vote fraud up here in Maine recently had nothing to do with race.
explain that one….
yeah, you’re right. i can believe it isn’t a race thing there.
we don’t have any problems with snow drifts or iced over roads here.
explain that.
Mr. Adams, are you familiar with these 3 bills:
• H.R. 3316 (Rep. Keith Ellison-MN) – prohibiting election officials from requiring photo identification to register to vote or cast a ballot.
• H.R. 3317 (Rep. Keith Ellison-MN) – requiring states with a voter registration requirement to make same-day voter registration available at the polling place on the election days (or on the day of voting for early voting)
• H.R. 2084 (Rep. Susan Davis-CA) – prohibiting a state from imposing additional conditions or requirements on the eligibility of and individual to cast a vote in federal elections by mail, except to the extent that it imposes a deadline for requesting the ballot and returning it to the appropriate state or local election official.
Congress is meddling in state matters, please join me and contact your reps to voice your views.
Yes. And they will go nowhere in the GOP controlled House. Actually, Congress has power to “meddle in state action” under the Constitution. See Article I, Section 4, Clause 2.
It’s the same reason why there are more police cars in the lower class neighborhoods;
It just so happens, that’s where the most crime is.
But, don’t tell Obama. He’ll try to create criminal equality in all neighborhoods. (Not that the DOJ isn’t behind this movement already).
Typical Liberal Responses:
What time is it? Racist!!!
Do you have change for a dollar? Racist!!!
Nice day, isn’t it? Racist!!!
Where’s the restroom? Racist!!!
banks and businesses requiring photo IDs must know something. If a person doesn’t want to show his, why should he have the right to vote.
The rope-a-dope, accomplishing nothing but division IS the definition of the Illiberal Black voter/ politician.
Illiberal Black ‘leaders’ scream for ‘equality for and YET wish to keep racial quotas/EEO/AA, lowered SAT/ACT scores applicable for college, taxpayer provided abortion and medical care, Black-only Caucus, colleges, magazines, t.v. channels/ programs, ‘non-profit’ organizations with services for minority-only folks ‘non-profit’, their myriad of award shows et al..
All the while the aforementioned people are adamant these represent, ‘Equality’.
The term, ‘Progressive’ is an oxymoron of infinite proportions.
If ‘Equality’, ‘Progressivism’ were truly the case or goal, the above divisive, counterproductive & financially crippling areas would be nixed. THAT WOULD BE PROGRESSIVISM-
Though ‘yikes’, that would actually suggest/ demand personal responsibility, accountability and expectation of said ‘victims’ – and the Illiberal politician/ race huckster/ baiter can’t fathom such Progressivism.
Richmond’s mayor is but another of thousands of ‘leaders’ who spread fictional racism, divisive class envy and NOTHING of their constituents to ‘look within’. Instead opting for blaming others for their personal, communal failures.
In other words that, ‘leader’s’ failure is someone else’s doing. Pathetic..
The ‘We Shall Overcome’ and like-minded hymns is so distorted and nonsensical today it’s beyond reason.
He isn’t my brother.
At least one state requires a picture ID to buy Draino. Anti Sugar people want to make it law no one under 17 years old cannot buy Sugar. That will require a picture ID. Surely the integrity of our country is more important than those.
What Dwight Jones would like is to have Richmond turn into another Detroit.
I’m so sick of these racists liberals. Isn’t the brother half white.
I live in a mixed race area (a.k.a. NSA “ghetto”), for the past few elections I have been an election polls worker, you know the little old ladies and old men that set up the polling stations, check you in, and collect the data on voting as well as any paper ballots and turn them in.
In EVERY ELECTION, although my State does not require photo ID to vote (only to register); nearly every person black, white, mixed, what-ever… has offered their driver’s license to speed up checking in.
We don’t ask, we even tell them it’s not required or requested, but the answer is usually – you can read and check it quicker.
There are many, many ways to commit voter fraud, and even with a photo ID it is still possible, just not so easy. But to say it is a “race thing” in my experience, that IS JUST NOT TRUE. Maybe it’s because the majority (regardless of race) are either military (or retired military), professional class, or “old fashioned.” One year, after the Iraqi elections (with the purple fingers) One of our voters asked if we (here in the USA), would ever resort to a low tech method to prevent fraud.
Something to consider. It really does seem that the only ones that DON’T want positive Voter Identification at the voting booth are the ones with the most to gain from voter fraud.
Y’all are wrong. Minority people are INVISIBLE on photo ID cameras!
NO, y’all have it all wrong! I never realized this until the subject of voter ID laws came up. My state of Florida has had a voter ID law for something like 20 years now and it seemed to work OK. A couple years ago our neighboring state of Georgia passed a similar law and were denounced as “racist.”
They’d charged a couple bucks for the ID. So they removed the charge. Then they were told by “civil rights leaders” that black folks could not possibly get TO the office in order to have their picture taken and ID issued. So Georgia decided, in such hardship cases, to have the photographer come TO the HOME of such individuals. No good said the same critics, minority people were somehow less able to get their pictures taken. This made absolutely NO sense.
But then I figured it out. Blacks, Hispanics, and other minorities are INVISIBLE ON CAMERA; sort of like vampires not showing up in mirrors. They just DON’T show up wither on traditional film or as digital images taken for ID purposes, though they DO show up in all other photographs. So it IS RACIST to require black people to have a photo ID.
What other possible justification could the left have for such a seemingly sensible law? I SURE they’d NEVER allow vote fraud after all! Heaven FORBID!
Even with Voter ID, the ballots and their handling must be guarded. Democrats have sneaky ways of taking elections. So, when an valid election is held Democrats will resort to using their useful idiot lawyers to protest an election.
What the hell is this idiot talking about. Just whose brother is this lump?I’ve read that O’Bomb’a doesn’t have any siblings.
Brothers, African American (dual citizenship?) ……….. tired of all of this b.s.
He has a half-sister from his mother and her second husband. He gave her (Canadian) husband a patronage job at the Smithsonian.
“Mayor Dwight Jones, “because there is a brother in the White House.”
Really? Because there is a Brother in the White House? This IDIOT Mayor Dwight Jones is a RACIST! How do men of his ugliness ever get elected into positions of authority? This type of comment does nothing but cause divisions between some whites and blacks. So now we have to put up with both Class and Race Warfare.
Tell you what I am, I’m a middle aged white guy who would have voted in the last election for Condelisa Rice if she had decided to run for POTUS. Would this Jackass Mayor have voted for the Sista? I very much doubt it. Comments of this nature totally insult me and others both Black and White! Shut up and sit down you racist be-itch. The only thing your looking to do is to start riots in the street with your BS rhetoric! You low life, see if you can turn this into racial comment, you trouble instigating low life bottom feeder.
We have an Attorney General who refuses to prosecute Black Panthers who intimidate white voters, but wants anyone to be able to vote without proving citizenship or residency. This is the Democratic way to a majority. If Obama wins, he will be able to pick one or two more Supreme Court Justices and corrupt the judiciary completely.
“… I’ve never once heard any voter ID proponent suggest that a “brother in the White House” has anything to do with it …”
= = = = =
Well, OBVIOUSLY you don’t have the “Secret Racialist Dog-Whistle Decoder Ring”. Juan Williams has one; EVERYBODY in the Congressional Black Caucus has one; the Grievance Twins (Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson) have ‘em too.
The swell part is the decoder ring is super-easy to use, and almost ANY statement by a conservative-ish type person can be translated into a Hateful Racist Slur. Whee! Instead of sober coverage of substantive issues during this presidential campaign year, the Propaganda Arm of the Dem-Progressive Party (that would be the MSM to you and me) can force the national discourse back to a political version of “Are you still beating your wife?”, ie – “Everything you say sounds racist to me — defend yourself against my perceptions!!”
There’s something I don’t get from the mayor’s comment.
From his comment it sounds like the “brother in the white house” was elected *because* there were no voter ID laws, and he wish it to continue.
In other words, Richmond’s mayor is suggesting that voter fraud is necessary for Obama’s re-election.
Why would he do that?
The mayor playing the victum-imagine that? Nice leadership trait, numbnut….. And just what is SO difficult about producing a legitimate identification card to vote in the first place? Oh, that’s right-that mean abiding the law and the Left/Dem/Soc can’t have that, can they?!
“a brother in the White House” – That’s a racist statement right there by the Richmond mayor. When one calls attention to race, mostly done by blacks and Dems, it is a tell-tale sign of their racism.
Most of the states that have moved to require ID for voting have said that they would issue the ID’s for FREE (e.g. no money), so that shoots down this mayor’s claims and all others who try and claim the same thing.
OBAMA IS NOT YOUR BROTHER, THEY CALL HIM THE X-PRESIDENT.
