The question was "Should people who receive money from the taxpayers have the right to vote?"
Your response was "nope, unfortunately...."
I guess writing isn't your strong suit. |

Every citizen has the right to vote. No. Questions. Asked.
Assuming proof of citizenship.
Can anyone give me a rational answer on why there is no proof of citizenship needed to vote?

Not a rational answer, except maybe a political one,
but I think we have come to a point where a permanent photo citizen voting ID card needs to be shown at the voting booth along with signing the registration ledger. |

Best response yet. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

yes, because democrats have worked very hard in the districts under their control to identify and keep dead people and others on the voter rolls so that illegal aliens and college students, felons and others can be bussed in and vote multiple times for democrats...
or...minorities and the poor would be hardest hit if there were a requirement to show some form of ID in order to vote...

I respond in kind. Asking someone if they read the post was trying to be demeaning.
Just as you haven't been calling people moron lately and Scott has seemed to have toned down his insults, I haven't been telling people their classless. |

Maybe when one party has gotten all the people who benefit from them to support only their party forming a majority the other parties will just cease to exist. Then there will be only one party and we will have to figure out who is the wolf in sheep's clothing, which is what I would like to see now...No party affiliation and majority rules, and then you wouldn't have the one party fighting the other; so something may actually get done and all of the reaching across the isle BS would end. |

I think the party system is stupid, I hope the rise of the independents drives a change in the system |

Can't you view my post as saying I think your posts are now classy?
And I have no problem needing to prove your a citizen to register. |

The question was two part, and the pertinant part was whether there was a conflict of interst in their inherent right to vote. I said "nope" there was not. They legally have a right to vote.
I'll leave your critique of my writing skills alone. I am confident they are strong enough for the message boards. |
