"It is the lib way to whine when things finally...." "Awwwwwww, yoyu are going to throw a tantrum..."

I would venture to say that most of my posts with the ideologues, are fact checking their usual wild claims, made up nonsense, and unsubstantiated hyperbole. I will continue to do so. I don't have a problem with moderate republicans similar to Bob Dole, Dwight Eisenhower, Arlen Specter etc. but sadly, too many of them nowadays are simple ideological zealots.

That's luducrious. Women just dont have IDs? impatientgirl

they have VALID (for voter ID laws) ones less often than men.

Because if you changed your name when you got married but didn't update your license, it's not valid for voting.

Likewise certain other groups of women (nuns and elderly women for example) are less likely to have current ID for cultural reasons.

That isn't being sexist, that's presenting documented facts.

Again it's not saying "this group doesn't have ID" it's saying "this group is MORE LIKELY to not have ID"

Statistics aren't sexist, they're just numbers.

I suppose it will become law in NC as there's nothing really to stop it. But I will do my job to publicize every blunder, including this one, the General Assembly makes until such time as they are voted out of office.

Of course you will. It is the lib way to whine when things finally do not go that way. Just remember these guys are finally actually getting something done and they were voted in for a reason. Hopefully this is the first in a long long run of a GOP controlled NC.

"The Board of Elections study suggested women, minorities, elderly voters and college students might be more likely to lack the required identification."

That's luducrious. Women just dont have IDs?

Awwwwwww, yoyu are going to throw a tantrum every time they do something you don't like, even though they were voted in by a majority of people that were tired of the muck the dems drug us through. Your word already means very little to a lot of people, this is going to make you look even more bratty.

The poor already get everything else for free , why would liberals want to not give the poor a free id? They are very important in todays world.

What is it about the poor do liberals hate?

Just another Photo ID in a long list of them that have been implemented over the years. Modernization and/or Security have been a big part of the changes to every ID system so it doesn't bother me if its for Airports, Libraries, Banking, Voting, or the DMV. I don't call ANY of these a waste of time or money ..... its the world we live in now a days. You can be in denial w/a stale argument or you can get with the times and not defend the "stone-age". This will become the law and I would suggest you get used to it.
