ACLU BS
The same federal judge who threw out Georgia's voter ID law last year blocked the state Wednesday from enforcing its revised law during this year's elections.
In October, the judge rejected a more-stringent voter ID requirement, saying it amounted to an unconstitutional poll tax because of the fees associated with getting the required ID. This year, the Legislature passed a law that made the IDs free and available in all counties.
You would think that this would do the trick, show up, prove who you are, get a free ID and, wham, vote away. Oh, but wait, we don't really want to take steps to keep democrats from dragging bus-loads of people from polling place to polling place casting multiple ballots under assummed names ...
During a day of testimony before Murphy issued his decision, American Civil Liberties Union attorney Neil Bradley argued that making voters go to county registrar's offices to get a required ID was an inconvenience that did nothing to address fraud at the ballot box.
That's right, getting a free ID to vote is an inconvenience. Damn, so is E-check, renewing my license plates, renewing my driver's license, not to mention paying my annual fees to keep my law license, speed limits, taxes, having to actually sign my name when I vote, having to go to the right polling place to vote, and not being able to vote as many times as I want. Let's take a hard stand and protect the people's rights to vote without any accountability, then bitch about election fraud afterwards.

That's liberals for you. They'll build their house out of redwoods, then tell you we can't drill for oil in our own country and at the same time, blame high gas prices on the US refineries.
I love that all the "solutions" to high gas prices are centered around either punishing oil companies (and screwing up supply) or reducing demand (more fuel efficient cars, to be taxed by the mile instead of the gallon, as the government always has to get its money). Why aren't we just opening up the country to drilling; let's get our oil out of the ground and stop being dragged around by our short hairs by oil-producing nations that hate us.
Yes! Punish the US oil companies! After all they make 9% on the dollar! How unjust! Forget about the 50-60% that big brother makes per gallon...
