photo ID's to attend?

[timesjoke]

First of all I want to say I don't really have a huge problem with this idea, but I am speaking from the irony of this action by Democrats.

Many Democrats are closing down open townhall meetings and forcing people to produce identification to attend their meetings. Let's take Taxas Democrat congressman Eugene Green, Who has voted "AGAINST" bills that would require producing an ID to cast a Vote in his District.

Why is he suddenly a supporter of proving who you are just to attend a meeting but he believes it is unfair to require ID to vote?

I actually like this idea, but what would these same Democrats say against the Republicans if they did something similar to keep out the fake activists from groups like Acorn who have been traveling all over the place to disrupt meetings in places they do not live for many years?

Obama instructed these groups on doing exactly that and yet now he is ****** off because a few conservative groups are using his own tactics against him. Funny stuff.

Anyway, the number of "planted" protesters is extremely tiny. Fox has been putting most of these people who Pelosi and Obama call "unamerican" on the air and proving these people are not connected to any big groups and are just regular people who are angry at the direction Obama is taking America. These are every day Americans and Obama is not helping himself a bit by calling them all "unamerican" for speaking their minds.

So in the end, I support this idea, as long as the Democrats will support it for voting too and for blocking out "their" fake activists like acorn members from doing the same thing.

But, how much you want to bet they will forget all about them doing this when a Conservative tries to do the same thing?

That right there is a slam dunk.

Gotta provide id to attend a meeting, but anyone can come and vote and say they are whomever they want to say they are.

un-freaking-believable

but I agree with you TJ. I am fine with requiring ID's to attend, and also to vote.

Why are the Dems discriminating against the poor and the immigrants?

Horrible treatment if you ask me.

You know, I never understood the "poor" arguement against producing ID. Don't these same "poor" apply for Government assistence? They have to produce identification then. How about cashing a check, driving a car, buying a rated 'R' movie or even buying model glue from Wal-Mart.....but somehow these same "poor" would have a difficult time showing their ID to vote?

I just do not get the Democrats' point on that one.

So if they are "poor" they can't show up at a Democrat's townhall meeting either?

Maybe just maybe, this has to do with the guy who brought his gun to an Obama townhall meeting recently. Whilst holding a sign that read: "It Is Time To Water The Tree Of Liberty." Invoking a phrase from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Innocent, coincidental symbolism I am sure...

Although requiring IDs to vote should also definitely be a requirement.

I don't buy that, it seems clear to be an attempt to silent those who oppose them, they can't stand up to the questions so they are trying to do whatever they can to have as much of a "friendly" crowd as possible. As I said, I don't mind this rule, but I want the Liberals to live by this standard as well.......but we all know they will not.

Do you think a guy with a gun will not also have an ID? I wonder if the liberals/socialists are also going to record the dissenters names? Punnish them later for daring to speak against them?

Almost every person who has been highlighted in recent "energetic" exchanges with these politicians has been local people, not shipped in. In a new study most of America believes these outraged people are real, not fake so the more Obama and company keeps trying to lie to the people to cover up how bad this legislation is, it is backfiring on him.

Obama's popularity rating has dropped below 50% and is dropping fast all because he refuses to admit that most people do not want what he is trying to force on them. When a real person shows up at these meetings and Obama calls them unamerican or compares them to Nazis, how do you think they will react to that? How about their families? How about their friends? Obama's disrespect for every day people is blowing up in his face.

Although requiring IDs to vote should also definitely be a requirement.

Great, something we can agree on, in fact Conservatives have been pushing for this for many years but the liberals like this idiot refuse to allow it........I wonder why?

It's my understanding he was wearing his gun holstered in plain view so everyone could see it.
He's also a whacko who would have been there for either party - he had an anti-government reputation.

I was saying they should do this a couple weeks ago. Just check ID's to verify the person actually lives in that state or district. If I wanna go to a town hall with my elected official, I'd rather be surrounded by my fellow statesmen and nobody else. He represents my state, not Georgia, not New York, not Washington, Not California, etc.

Nope, don't see a problem with this what so ever, in fact, I'm glad their starting to think the same way I do. It keeps out the special interests and other riff raff.

None of us have a problem with checking ID's.

The hypocrisy is the same Democrats that are checking ID's to make sure someone speaking their mind is from the district, is against checking ID's to make sure someone voting in an election is from the district.

If you're for one, you're a hypocrite to be against the other.

 

[phreakwars]

Same one's? Name names.

[ImWithStupid]

If you read the first post by TJ, he named one there.

 

[phreakwars]

One name, that's it? Gotta find just one person and spin that one person as a representative of every Democrat eh? Still don't see what the big deal is here? Call it a hypocrisy if you like, but it's still a **** good idea. I.D everyone.

I say we just let white males vote like in the good ole days.

Proves he never reads what people says, he is just in perpetual excuse mode and no matter what point you make, he will blindly defend the Socialist agenda.

Bender,

The liberals do not want photo ID's because they want even illegals working under false names to be allowe dto vote. They want the ability to let the dead vote by having someone show up and claim to be them. But they have no problem requiring ID's in something as insignificant as a town hall meeting.

In fact, I don't see anything wrong with people from other States showing up because this crappy legislation will enslave us all and we should be able to tell everyone voting on this garbage that we do not want it. America may be broken down by districts but every vote cast effects all Americans everywhere.

But, I say again, how would the Liberals react if some Conservatives used this idea to keep Acorn activists out of meetings? You thin the racist card would get played? I do.

Liberals are the very definition of the double standard.

Good idea!

At the very least, we should consider the "Two Thirds Compromise".

 

[RoyalOrleans]

I went to the townhall meeting in my home county of Hall County, GA and was not asked to produce ID until, after, I addressed the committee.

EDIT: My representative is Republican Nathan Deal and I was asked if I lived in the district before taking a seat.

Of course it was in plain view, I'm sure that was the point. It goes along with the message in his little sign. He could have had the gun concealed since he says he has a permit.
