It doesn't seem very "American" to me...

Well, considering that voting is specific to the state itself and relevant to such , then it is a state issue and my point stands. Your dismissal and unsupported accusation does not establish your positions validity.

You better qualify that statement for 4 states.
Dems only look out for minorities when the minority has the right skin color as you alluded to in previous posts.

That's discrimination.

I've never seen a soldier trying to vote - NEVER. Does that mean they don't vote? No, it just means I've never been there during the 15 minutes someone in uniform has voted.
True..
but you will never convince me that illegals are voting.. period. you just wont. Please see the Voter ID law for what it is.. pandering by BOTH SIDES! period..

Was that a rhetorical question or were you meaning to respond to someone specifically? Try the quote button, it does wonders for communication.

So are you saying that the only people who voted for Obama last time were minority's? I'm sure some of my white relatives who vote democratic, and I'm sure will again, will be glad to know that their votes don't matter...

You refuse to acknowledge that Whites are minorities in 4 states now.

The tide is turning my friend and playing the race card takes on a new meaning when Whites are now included.
Actually it doesn't. Whites still make up 65-70% of this population. They are still the majority. The race card has the same meaning it did 5, 10 years ago.

That's not proof. Do you even understand the burden of proof. How ill Voter ID harm minorities? When the Supreme Court says they're legal?
