The Party of the (Dead) People

As expected, the Democrat Governor of Wisconsin, Jim Doyle, vetoed a bill that would have required residents to show {gasp} photo ID before casting ballots.
Ah, yeah, we wouldn’t want the Democratic Party not to be able to cast multiple fraudulent votes on behalf of corpses, family pets, and make-believe people, now, would we?
Ahem.
On a different, but related, topic, I wouldn’t ordinarily divulge personal info on this site, outside of the threads, but I can’t help but address Doyle’s claim that the ID bill would disenfranchise elderly voters. In two words, that’s bulls**t.
In fact, the notion that the voting rights of elderly people somehow would be infringed, by requiring photo ID’s to cast valid ballots, is so completely asinine, it doesn’t quite rise to the level of bullsh**t.
Take my parents, for example.
They’re both in their 70’s and indigent. My mother survives on SSI checks and lives in Section 8 housing. My father survives on Social Security, he’s a convicted felon, and he resides in an apartment so tiny, Michael Moore could and probably would use it merely as closet space.
But they both have photo ID’s.
Everybody who wants a photo ID can obtain one, in point of fact. For Pete’s sake, how do you think elderly indigents cash their Social Security or SSI checks? How, pray tell, do they apply for Medi-Caid or food stamps? With notes from Santa Claus???
And if the Democrats are worried about non-ambulatory seniors, who somehow don’t already have photo ID’s, not being able to validate their ballots, then they should appropriate some money to canvass nursing homes or hospices to hand out free photo ID’s. The GOP probably would fund that effort in its own regard.
Look, I’m going to be real blunt here. The Democratic Party is disintegrating as we speak. Merely over the past 15 years, they’ve lost: (i) 13 net U.S. Senate seats, (ii) 65 net U.S. House seats, and (iii) eighteen state governorships have shifted away from them. And they haven’t won a bare majority of the national vote since well before most of Howard Dean’s supporters were born.
And one of the major factors keeping them afloat, as it were, is that of systematic, organized election fraud.
They don’t want photo ID requirements because that will curtail them from paying homeless people, union thugs, and college students, to vote multiple times, in multiple precincts.
End of story.
But in the final analysis, however, these tactics will not save them.
Politics is a lot like life. Grifters might get away with things, even for quite some time, but they always wind up getting caught.
It just works out that way.
