Ellison wants to ban photo ID as requirement for voting
By FREDERIC J. FROMMER
Wednesday, October 31, 2007
Requiring photo IDs to vote in federal elections would be banned under legislation introduced Wednesday by Rep. Keith Ellison, who said such requirements disenfranchise minorities, the poor, women, elderly and young people.
“While photo IDs seem harmless, they are in fact the modern day poll tax,” Ellison, D-Minn., said in a statement.
Ellison, who serves on the Judiciary Committee, got an important backer for the bill, as the panel’s chairman, Michigan Democrat John Conyers, signed on a co-sponsor…
Ellison noted that people do not need a photo ID to vote in Minnesota…
Yes, it was a brilliant idea to send a Louis Farrakhan Nation Of Islam acolyte to the US Congress.
Thanks again, Minnesota.

Ellison is not representative of the State of Minnesota, only one lame brained district. Still, one has to wonder what comes after a wrestling governor. Let’s hope it is not a Senator Stuart Smally.

Make that Stuart Smalley

Maybe not all of MN, but a good chunk of the largest population center. Beware this Muslim, because he is a Muslim and an extension of our enemy.

Must be something about those lousy Minnesota winters that’s freezing their brains…Fritz Mondull, Jesse Ventura, Stuart Smalley, and this asshat Ellison. Only morons or traitors would send the enemy to Congress…and I wonder what the proportions would be of moron to traitor in this case.

Ellison has to try, doesnt he? How many people can vote numerous times if they are burdened with those pesky photos to prove they are who they say they are?? Ellison is an extension of the inexorable creep of Islam into our mainstream culture. Europe is toast…England may as well stop pretending…they are done for…..and we are going to be next. Disguising voters so they can vote multiple times in multiple districts is going to bring more “Ellisons’ into the Government….and they will in turn pass laws that make more loopholes, which open more doors…..thank God it will take longer here….

Al Franken will fit right in with the MN delegation if he wins the senate seat he’s running for. Last I hear, he actually has a good chance to do so. But what the hell, if the loons there will elect Ventura and Ellison, why not Franken? So when they turn the state into Minnesotastan, Laura Bush can visit and model hajib’s with the ladies over tea and Black Muslim Bakery cookies. Sheeez what lunatics.

Accident or purposeful misdirection?
Look at the caption under the picture above: “Keith Ellison (R).”

The only voters who will be disenfranised if this ban on photo IDs goes through will be the real voters - can you imagine the assualt with ACORN, the dead vote, the felon vote, and the illegal vote - not to mention the vote early, vote often caravans. . .
But I guess for Dems - it is the only way to go - since they can’t win on ideas or values, since most of the people they pander to don’t bother voting and since the majority of American citizens would vote against them - if it was a clean, above board election.

“Look at the caption under the picture above: “Keith Ellison (R).””
That was me. (R) being for right.
I’ll fix it.
November 1st, 2007 at 6:57 pm
Um, Umm…. Just how the hell do these poor underprivileged people manage to register to vote?
Cash a check?, Apply for a job?
What the hell am I thinking.
I heard a conversation similar to this.
(R) You should offer some proof of identification to vote.
(D) Thats an undue hardship on the poor.
(R) We have offered to issue the ID’s free of charge.
(D) Well they have to go and get the ID’s, Alot of poor people have no transportation.
(R) We can offer rides to branches that issue the ID’s.
And if thats a problem, Wont they need transport to vote.
(D) Now thats just insulting.
(R) We are doing all we can to stop voter fraud an……
(D) RACIST, BIGGOT FACSIST.

It is not surprising that he would do this. I would bet many of his constituents are legally barred from voting in elections but still vote. The voting laws in MN are insane. All you need to vote is someone who is on the list to be at the poll with you and to tell the polling people, “yes, this person lives in this district”. No ID, no registration card, nothing. I do not think MN is alone in their voting rules, therefor, I think, for the good of the United States, we need to have a bill that gives clear guidlines for every state to follow at the polls. The rules in MN have allowed a huge abuse by Minneapolis and St. Paul residents. People who are illegals, or legal residents, or felons…..they can all go to the polls and change the entire state which has huge ramifications for the country. Remember, we were the only state to NOT vote for Reagan. Because of these insane laws, underage people can also vote. It is crazy, but the state views their voting laws as some of the most progressive laws in the Nation.

Dez, you can register to vote at the polling stating in MN. As I stated above, all you need is someone in the district who is registered to vouch for you. No ID is required.

WI, Franken will not will the Senate. If he were running for the House like Ellison, he very well could win, but he will never win the state. Ventura actually did a lot of good things for the state. I did not vote for him, but I could see why people did. Ventura hated taxes, hated all of the laws that governments make, was not anti-gun ownership, and was not a politician. When money was involved he was as conservative as they come. He also forced a law that said our legislature could not mke any new laws once ever four years. He tried to get rid of the bicameral legislature which is a drain on our system too. Yes, he was a pig, and as far as moral issues go, he was as liberal as they come. He called religious people weak and said he wanted to be reincarnated as a giant bra.
In MN, like many states, where your choice is between Dayton (now he was a real idiot) and Walz (a slimy, intelligent, player) and then throw in Ventura…well, Ventura will win every time.
We now have Pawlenty and he is not bad. He came out and said, even if only 1% of the US supported President Bush, he would still support him. That takes balls. I hate his smoking stance, though.

amber…..I’m not trying to pick on you, really I’m not, but your logic about Franken makes no sense at all. I really do hope you’re right, but I wouldn’t bet on it. And this is why..
You say he won’t win because it’s a statewide office? The population center is the Twin Cities and that’s were your Muslim got elected. That’s where the votes are. And if the people of the largest population center will elect a member of the enemy party that wants to kills us and will elect a whacko (except maybe fiscally) like Ventura what makes you think they won’t elect a loon like Franken? It’s like WA where I live. Conservatives own and control most ot the state, geographically, but liberals own the large population center of King County (Seattle). They win. Wishing him away won’t make him go away.
You also state that MN will pretty much let anybody that shows up at the polling place vote. You say they require no ID, no voter registration (register at the poll), no proof of citizenship. Now what party and probably what candidate would have people not qualified to vote show up to do so anyway? And probably by the bus loads. It probably isn’t the republican candidate.
Paul Wellstone.

WI,
You are forgetting that MN (the state) has elected conservatives to it’s governorship for decades. Carlson, Vetura (yes, he was the conservative candidate), and now Pawlenty. When we hold elecetions across the state it is normally the “conservative” who wins. There are a few examples where a dem wins, but they are never far lefters and they do not spout hate-filled rhetoric. Al’s speaches are always downers and never focused on his goals, always attacking those who are not as liberal as him. He is never in the local news here either. Dayton was not even close to Al as far as the liberal scale goes and he was elected because of his views on prescription drugs and Canada. I have also been to the State Fairs here and Franken’s booth is almost always devoid of fairgoers, unusual compared to the other booths. I folow the politics of my state very closely and I am suprememly confident that Franken does not have a prayer, I do not even think he will be the most popular dem candidate in this state. He is also running against Coleman and Coleman has a pretty big fanbase, especially in St. Paul where he won 2 consecutive bids for Mayor. Franken is not very experienced at this either. http://www.mndaily.com/article.....6/72163881

Oh and Wellstone’s daughter (the one who died in the plane crash) was married to my husband’s cousin (interesting tidbit). Funny, but my grandparents were good friends of Mondale’s parents too.
Wellstone was elected because he was not viewed as political…he was a school teacher. See a pattern in MN? Ventura, Wellstone, Dayton, Carlson, Walz,they all seemed to be non-political, add Elllison to that list. Watch out for Walz, he is as slimy as they come and he has been running campaign adds since he won. He could be a problem in the future.

When my children would use logic like that on me years ago, I would ask them if they were trying to convince me or themselves. Good luck. Hope you’re not disappointed.
Oh, and if you live in Duluth, you can vote for a blue felt puppet for mayor. Seriously. Really. See the link.

WI, If I am right will you finally admit that you may not know everything?
November 2nd, 2007 at 12:15 pm
Like I said Amber, I really do hope you’re right. The country doesn’t need Franken in the senate. And your question? Of course not.
November 2nd, 2007 at 5:48 pm
WI - Thanks for the link. I was born in Duluth, but have not been there in a number of years. Duluth was once a blue collar town built around iron ore shipping, steel-making, and an air force base. With industry gone and nothing but tourism left, it looks like the cities politics have become a joke. What a shame.
