Your treatment hereabouts may periodically be unnecessarily personal,
and you likely aid and abet that situation. But you sure do generate
long and extensive threads on seemingly everything you say.

As near as I can tell it's because I respond to the people
who respond to me, usually in kind. (Like right now.)

I'm getting all creeped out, Calvin!!!!!!

Did you ever see the Korean movie SHAOLIN? It's pretty good. It's
filled with lots of action, adventure, cinematography, color palette,
moving camera, & decent performances. The story itself is splendid.

Common sense?

What has worked for over two hundred years suddenly doesn't work any
longer? Votor fraud is not an issue and never has been.

Telling that the only states to enact or try to enact these laws have
Republican legislatures/governors. Why, Calvin? Why only
Republicans?

We need protection against the kind of voting fraud that took place in
Florida in the election of 2000 - but that wasn't people voting - it
was the people counting the votes.

Your motives are transparent.

I'd like one of the early 10-to-the-stage "debates" to suddenly turn
into a pop quiz of 8th grade civics. That would be incredible. Or
maybe the next Katie Couric or Bill O'Reilly show. What an credible
way to consider your candidate!

My hunch is that with the right combination of circumstances you would
hit yourself in the head with a ball peen hammer, too.

8 Points for using the phrase "ball peen hammer".

That's a filthy lie, calvin. Here's what needs to be done: when people
vote, they should be thumb printed so there is something unique on file
so they can't vote twice. I guarantee you that no Republicans would
allow such a bill to pass.

"Evidence of voter fraud was never substantiated on a large or
organized scale in states that enacted no voter ID laws. ?In 2007, a
report prepared by the staff of the federal Election Assistance
Commission found that, among experts, "there is widespread but not
unanimous agreement that there is little polling place fraud".[20] The
report was based on research conducted by a Republican elections
lawyer and another expert with liberal leanings."[20]

"The [Department of Justice] devoted unprecedented resources to
ferreting out polling-place fraud over five years and appears to have
found not a single prosecutable case across the country," Slate
reported."[21]

Yup. He has such a stubborn mindset, too. I wouldn't mind debating
him so much if he had an open mind.

Regrets, Calvin, but you come across loud and clear.

Calvin apparently barfed this up:

> black man the right to vote.

That's preposterous. How many Republican racists you figure there are
in the US? They wouldn't deny someone a vote? Please be serious.

Republicans were against the motor/voter bills nationally too. They
didn't want registering to vote to be easy. They have worked hard to
avoid laws for voting by mail. Now they are working for picture-ID.
These people fought tooth and nail to keep blacks from voting all over
the south until the rewrite of voting laws in the 60's.

But they're better now, are they?

For most Republicans, Republicanism comes first, Americanism comes
second. If that weren't true they wouldn't spend so much time
villifying Americans in order to help their party.

I support that measure. It's a good idea.

I'm more bothered by welfare fraud than by voter fraud.
