2012 Liberal Jackass Quotes of the Year - #13

Lawrence Norden (Brennen Center Democracy Program)

"The response of proponents of these (voter ID) laws has been, 'Well, just get an ID and if in fact you're too poor to pay for it, we'll give you the ID for free.' Unfortunately for many people this is not going to be such a simple solution."

- He also claims it is too difficult for some of the poor to get ID's because they live too far from the closest office where they can get one.

I feel sorry for the poor, but it takes a pretty big stretch of the imagination to believe they can't afford free ID's. I call B.S.

Give me another one.

"Many of those without ID would have to travel great distances to get them, and some would struggle to pay for the documents they might need to obtain them. We call those poll taxes." - Attorney General Eric Holder

Talk about B.S.

I know it makes me a crazed lunatic, but I'd bet good money the majority of the people Norden and Holder are 'concerned' about are on welfare...How do these people sign up for welfare without documentation, and how do they get to the welfare office to sign up? Somehow they have the documents and make it to this all-important destination without feeling like they're paying a "poll tax."

Truth is Norden and Holder - and the rest of the liars who want to let people vote without proving who they are - couldn't care less about poor voters; they care about fraud. Fraud, as in allowing Democrats to commit fraud with fraudulent votes and voters.

How about this for a radical compromise: Distribute voter ID's when these poor people originally sign up for welfare...NO WAY! That's racist! That's insensitive! That's, that's, that's, that's just too much common sense!
