Obama Robbing Seniors to get Youth Vote

Sickening. Is there no end to Obama's desperate attempts to save his failed Presidency? Now he has to try to garner the youth vote by pushing debt on seniors and future generations?

The "community organizer" is in way above his head and we are all going to pay for the mistake of the worst Presidency in the history of the US, even the most vulnerable.

He's robbing everybody except the recipients. The providers - those working and getting taxed at higher rates - are screwed. Welcome to Socialism, Obama-style.

The name of the game, remember, is not voter prevention, but voter suppression, i.e., bringing down the numbers. In the last presidential election, only 63 percent of eligible voters voted — and that was the best showing in 48 years. Clearly, Americans are not overly enthusiastic about performing this civic duty as it is.

Remember: demographic trends do not favor the Republican Party. As the Center for the Study of the American Electorate observed in a 2008 report, the GOP is either out of contention or seeing an erosion of support in New England, the mid-Atlantic, the West, the mountain states, the industrial Midwest, and even parts of the South. With its growing Latino population, even Texas may be lost to the party before too many years. “Within the next few decades,” says the report, “white Americans, the only demographic sub-group from which the GOP draws significant numbers of voters, will be in the minority.”

So, while the party posits these laws as a way of fighting voter fraud — a nearly non-existent problem — it takes little imagination to divine a more sinister intent. Sometimes, you don’t need imagination at all.

in my job, i deal with people from every portion of the populace here, from every spectrum from ages 16 to 95. not one of them, rich, poor or in between, hasn't had an i.d. i wonder if anyone here on this board knows anyone who hasn't got a form of identification, that is a u.s. citizen? i spoke with a guy a few weeks back, who doesn't have a u.s. drivers license-because he's not a citizen. he has an int'l d.l.
a question on the subject...don't people getting any form of assistance have to have i.d.? i wonder what the number of people who are citizens, without id, who vote actually is.

I agree with this. I used to manage a company that had nearly 1500 people in low level minimum wage positions. I had hundreds of applications a week and not once did a person not get a job because he/she could not produce a valid ID.

How did you verify the Id's were in fact Valid and not a forgery?
