If that's not the problem, then let's agree to solve the problem and require ID when voting. > statement about the EFF.

It's a very indirect ad hominom attack. Guilt by > association, as if "Democrat" somehow automatically implies bad. Given It does imply bad. Big government is bad. High taxation is bad. Legalized racial discrimination (affirmative action) is bad. Remotely controlling a person's home heating level is bad. Legitimizing a subculture of felons who have violated our federal law is bad. Paying people not to work is bad. Paying women to have children out of wedlock is bad. Allowing women to kill their unborn children is bad. Forcing the most productive people in our society to pay for those who refuse to work is bad. Not allowing us to harvest our domestic natural resources because we may disturb a bird's nest is bad. Trying to tear down the second amendment, and remove the general population's right to defend themselves is bad. Rolling in tanks, machine guns, etc., and killing 74 Americans (men, women, and children -- most burnt alive) because you think they might be stock piling guns is bad. Pushing an economic crushing, global government promoting, tax raising, individual rights removing, UN sponsored climate hoax is bad. Getting off the gold standard is bad. Intervention in markets is bad. Turning our money system over to private banks is bad. Giving special rights to people who live an "alternative lifestyle" is bad. I could go on, and on, and on... Yes, it does imply bad. > the last 8 years of Republican rule, I don't see how anyone can continue > to make these statements or associations with a straight face. I'm a Conservative. Most often, I agree with conservative Republicans. Bush is not a conservative. He spends like a drunken sailor. He tramples the constitution (patriot act). He disregards our federal laws by rewarding (rather than punishing) those who have come here illegally. He is not a conservative. > You could logically say--if you could support your arguments with > facts--that the values and politics of the EFF follow the values and > principles of the Democratic party in general.

Democrats have the most to gain by continuing to allow voter fraud. The EFF is chaired by prominent democrats. It doesn't take much to connect the dots. I wouldn't care if the Republican party started playing kissy face with the illegal alien population (oh wait! they have!) and were going to get all the votes. Voter fraud shouldn't be allowed. Trivial measures could be put in place to largely solve this problem -- just show the poll dude some ID. No big deal. -Bryan /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
