So we get 3 more years of it with Obama and then another 4 years from Hillary. Do Dems really want a peaceful nation? They let criminals flow into the US over the border then won't deport them. Holder wants to release thousands of people in prison (some I agree with).

Is racism like in the 50's? No it isn't. Is it really that hard to get a free ID to vote. No it isn't Why must Democrats divide the country based on fiction.

I maintain my opinion that she will not run for President.



Race baiting is so obsolete, yet it's on page one of the Democrat play book.



How is it harmful? Divide and conquer. Same old same old.

Hey, Bekind, I have been reading and answering your questions for a while now. I know that sometimes I agree with you and sometimes not. I have been voting since JFK ran for office and I know there is no reason to have an ID. Very few people get by with voting, if they are not qualified. I have to sign right beside my name in the voting book every time I vote. If someone else has signed I would know and the poll workers would know that there is a problem. As far as illegals getting ID, they can buy all they want in some of the border states. They buy drivers licenses, birth certificates and anything else they should take a notion to. It is a big business here in Texas.



I don't see where putting a program on TV three years before the next Presidential election has any effect on something three years ahead when she hasn't even said yet that she will run. I like her, intend to vote for her if she does run and would like to see the program. My mind was made up to that fact the last time she ran and no TV program is going to change my mind one way or the other.



I am not the one who doesn't want a peaceful nation and I am not for the amnesty program for invaders either. They have been flowing into this country since before Eisenhower and nothing has been really done to seal the borders in all that time. There have been just as many Republicans in office as there have Democrats in that period. Eisenhower did manage to send a lot back although there were considerably fewer here then. I don't see any reason why we should legalize them, myself. Some Republicans have worked just as hard as some of the Democrats to get them legal. Some states have their own Dream Acts and Texas is one. I understand it was signed into law here by the present Governor Perry who announced he isn't going to run for that office again. He is looking forward to being in the Presidential race as a Republican. Actually there was an article in the Houston Chronicle yesterday about businesses complaining about traffic across the border has been slowed down too much for their business. Sounds to me as if we have more problems than just Democrats and Republicans.

First ; A very simple question for the socialist democrats who claim that voter ID is racist ! Question ~ If the voters can`t get to the DMV or the SS Office to get a picture ID ; then how in the hell are they going to get to the polls to vote ? Now for the pathological liar , Hillary Clinton ~ This is what you will get with Hillary ~ http://youtu.be/8BfNqhV5hg4 , and as an added bonus you would get the following sack of baggage ~ http://youtu.be/ClfpG2-1Bv4 . Lest we forget any of her past either ~



Pew survey indicates America does not trust Hillary, Hillary only scored only 44 percent in latest poll about trust, the lowest rating for any candidate for any attribute in the poll.

Hillary simply cannot tell the truth. Here's her scorecard:

[[ Admitted Lies ]] ==========================================================

• Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)

• Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she lied. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)

• She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. [ See the 1st video above ] (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)

• She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (The WSJ didn't cover the market back then.)

[[ More lies: ]]=============================================================

She didn't know about the FALN pardons.

• She didn't know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.

• Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.

• She didn't know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.

• She didn't know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.

• She opposed NAFTA at the time.

• She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.

• She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.

• She played a role in the '90s economic recovery.

• The billing records showed up on their own.

• She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.

• She was always a Yankees fan.

• She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).

• She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there).

With a record like that, is it any wonder that we suspect her of being less than honest and straightforward?

Hillary will not be the next President, she does not have what it takes to make it that far.



And her health in another 3 years, she will not be able to even run for the Office.



Sure hope not.



And the World now thrives on Criminals, that is why so many are still out of jail.

In fact many experts agree that racism in the US is not that less than previous and all that has happened is to cite the URL below :



"This is a racist country. Indeed, it is a horribly racist place.It’s not like it used to be, with Klan rallies, Jim Crow and governors standing in schoolhouse doors. It’s much more subtle and insidious now, and it permeates every aspect of American life. "



We no longer openly rape torture lynch Blacks as we once did up to only the 1960s .The racism today is deliberately obfuscated by racists taking cover under other subjects like this very focused Black voter turnout.



The data does indicate that in fact in SOME states Black voterthis turnout has increased significantly BUT this positive trend has happened because OF THE PREVIOUSLY EXISTING LAW THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE INCREASE until the conservative SC made another of it's Dred Scott decisions .



Republicans/conservatives especially those in the South needed some way to stop the increase voting by Blacks and Hispanics as they as a majority voted Democrat .



Can this be absolutely proven? No but reasonable non-racist would not consider it to be a very possible racist move while racist can HIDE behind their obfuscations .



The issue has NOTHING to do with the ease or non ease oif obtaining IDs .All that is important is that for whatever reason good or bad , many Blacks just decide to not vote instead of getting an ID .



What really makes all this stink of racism is that voter fraud data in absolutely no way justifies the need for voter ID .Racists will give you data when it serves their racism like increased Black voter turn out but give no data about the degree of voter fraud which is extremely low .

Why is discussing the topic of racism called race baiting these days. Should we just ignore it instead of talking about it? How can anyone think it doesn't exist to some degree. Talk about fiction!



ID's are NOT free here in Maine. I live in a fairly poor rural area (all white at the moment, primarily republicans) who not only have had trouble paying for their ID but they have to get a ride to go get it.



Just because things have changed for the better in many ways doesn't mean they aren't bad in other ways.



If you think racism is dead then you don't read much. Look on any board like this and you'll see it. I hear it come out of the mouths of several people who live near me .. which I think is REALLY absurd in a state that is 98% Caucasian .. they must hate the few black people they encountered for a few minutes. I don't get it.



I haven't always lived in a little briar patch .. city girl born and raised.

Hillary ran a very aggressive and contentious presidential campaign in 2008 and it was her supporters who were the original "Birthers."



"Obama attacked Hillary during the 2008 campaign with lies. The footage comes up with the female Clintonista stating, “He continues to spend millions of dollars perpetuating falsehoods.” The ad then ends with Clinton declaring, “So shame on you, Barack Obama!”



Apparently Ms. Clinton took issue with Mr. Obama perpetuating falsehoods in his campaign mailers and this now famous video was used by the Romney campaign to remind of the hypocrisy present in politics.



Hillary will do or say what will get her elected and once elected, she will forget what she said. As she did in the "shame" video.



Which just goes to show that with the Clintons, talk is indeed cheap.

Did she already accuse Biden of being just a rich old white man?



@ Chewy Ivan 2



How came some people do not get IDs?

Well, they might be an illiterate products of the Public School system.

Or they never bothered to get that ID.

No damage, so far

She's following a tried and true campaign strategy that worked for Obama



It's also possible that we'll have to endure 8 years of President Hillary

In most states, a state ID is just 5 dollars. AND if you can prove you can't afford the ID, it is free. So, if you are too lazy or don't care enough to show a little effort to get the right to vote, then stay at home

I'm only going to elaborate on one of your points. there's millions of legal immigrants in this country fighting to make a living but the government makes it so much easier for illegals to just waltz in and get treated better.

We need a better leader.

It is amazing to me that anyone would listen to this pathetic old cow.

Her "4" years is highly in doubt.

It is harmful for the general public to bombarded with constant lies from the liberal left. They have no intention of making this a better country.

So is it your contention, that because we aren't having two restrooms and fountains one for white and one for 'colored' we should just let it drop because Republican bigots would get their feelings hurt?



No on has let criminals flow over the border, whatever you're reading its time to get some sense.

And we've been deporting thousands, more than Bush ever did.



The ones Holder wants to see released are non violent first time drug offenders, and unless you're fond of paying billions and building more prisons, we sure need to do something sane about that.

Why weren't you complaining about needing an ID to vote when Bush Jr. won (cough cough) those elections?

That isn't race-baiting. That is truth-telling.



If getting an ID was so easy, how come hundreds of thousands of legal voters can't get them? How come seniors who voted in every election since JFK was elected can't get one simply because they were born in a time and place where official birth certificates weren't filled out?

What YOU see as "race baiting", the rest of us see as "calling out the racism of the Right and speaking the truth".
