Culture Of Corruption

Perfidy, politics and projection. This one has it all, folks. Dirty election officials committing voter fraud and even going so far as to try to have a witness killed. It's that whole set of talking points (actually more like screaming and wailing points) from the Democrats.

Only it involves Missouri Democrats.

Sixteen, count 'em, sixteen, St. Louis, Missouri area Democrats have been convicted of election law violations since 2004. Whereupon, the squeaky-clean Democrats team up with the ACLU to block a requirement for photo ID's to vote.

I've said it repeatedly, anyone who is in favor of blocking requirements for positive ID when voting is in favor of vote fraud. Period. You can dress that particular duck up in anything you like, try to make it sound all high-minded and very self-righteous. At the end of the day it is still a duck. Requiring an ID to vote is common sense. Forbidding the use of IDs is voter fraud.

My thanks to Jim over at Gateway Pundit for his coverage on this. This is a local/statewide story that needs to be seen nationally.

    What I don’t quite get is: you really don’t have a photo ID in the US?
    Really? I mean, how can you say that the guy is who claims to be?
    Without a photo?

    You have to have a photo ID to cash a check or drive a car, but not to vote. How crazy is that?

    Here, you turn 14, you got a photo ID.
    No matter who you are, the school takes your picture, and then they will give you a photo ID - address, mother’s maiden name, place and date of birth, ID Number, ID Card Number, whatever.

    Everyone, has a photo ID by default.

    Of course, if you loose it, and don’t ask for a new at the police or local government, you won’t have it.
    But then, if the police stops you and ask for your ID, you can’t identify yourself, and will be taken into custody - most of the time of course, you are only stopped by the police on the street if you look like a beggar, a criminal, are drunk, or they are looking for someone, so it is not a daily occurence.
    Also, if you have an ID, but you can’t present it to the police, you will be fined.
