Bizzy Blog and Gateway Pundit both discuss unDemocratic attempts to suppress and disenfranchise citizens from speaking out. They do not want citizens speaking out against our current administration's program of government control of more and more of nongovernmental functions in our country. Socialism.
It appears rattled Democrats are now attempting to require attendees in their town hall meeting to show identification to prove they live in the Representative's district. Seems fair, even though it kinda screws that whole "free assembly" thing, but a Demo has to do what Demo has to do to get that message out through their press. People asking questions doesn't really look good on the evening news and so, now they're going to ensure voter integrity in their meetings.
About the Federal Election Integrity Act of 2006, requiring a free voter identification, Pelosi had this to say, "Integrity? It's not about integrity. It's about a tawdry attempt by Republicans to suppress the votes of millions of Americans." Tawdry indeed. Those wascally Wepublicans.
Many voices of the Obama administration claim that "unAmerican" Americans are flooding district constituent meetings to thwart any reform of our health care system which has been irreparably broken by greedy capitalists such as doctors, nurses, insurance companies, drug companies and stupid sick people. Ergo, they feel they must stop these unpatriotic interlopers by demanding proof that they actually live in the representative's meeting district.
Again, back in 2006, Sen. Mitch McConnell wanted to add a voter identification requirement to an immigration reform bill and a commenter at the Democrat Underground grandly summed up the feelings of Democrats concerning the issue, "I was watching all those traitorius Republicans vote to disenfranchise all the people who didn't go and get their picture taken for the ID card." Thank goodness those "UnAmerican" senators didn't get this "traitorous" amendment passed. Disenfranchisement of illegal voters is wrong, eh?
It is ironic that Demos feel that ensuring the integrity of their meetings is important, but the integrity of the vote isn't, isn't it? One could assume that it is about controlling the message, but it is really about controlling the vote whether in Peoria or Washington, DC.
