Liberals are getting their collective panties all wadded up – but what else is new? This round of bloomer bunching is all about new voter ID laws and liberals are nearly beside themselves.

Right now, at least 34 states have instituted new voter ID laws which require, among other things, that when voters show up at the polls, they have ID and in some cases…OH THE HUMANITY…They will need a PHOTO ID!!

Why…According to many liberals…the Republicans are intentionally disenfranchising 30 million voters!

Ummm…Huh?

Wendy Weiser who was the co-author of the Brannan Center Report stated, “When you have millions potentially unable to vote, it will undoubtedly have political consequences.”

Really? Unable to vote?

Congressman John Lewis (Dem. – GA) is calling these new voter ID laws a “Poll tax.”

Seriously? A tax?

Senator Michael Bennet, a democrat from Colorado at one point said the new voter laws “have the potential to block millions of eligible American voters.” And at another point stated, “The right to vote is the central foundation of our representative democracy. Some new state laws may impede the exercising of that right by thousands of Americans.”

Hmmm…which IS it exactly Senator Bennet…Thousands or millions?

Perhaps he’s just making stuff up.

Bennet is pretty much heading this whole mass panty wad up and so far, 16 or so other senators…liberals all, have joined him in his efforts and together they are claiming that these new voter ID laws are, “unfairly targeting minorities, college students and the elderly — voters who are less likely to have a government-issued ID.”

Oh yes…Evil Republicans and standing in the way of people getting to vote.

Congresswoman Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) – “They have only one true purpose, which is to disenfranchise eligible voters.”

Congressman Steny Hoyer (D-Md) – “They claim we need to crack down the epidemic of voter fraud that does not exist.”

Congressman Rush Holt (D-N.J.) – “There is no threat of voter fraud. Are there rampant cases of impersonation, voting as someone else? No. Voter fraud is not rampant, there are not numerous cases of impersonation.”

Wow…Huh?

Liberals are just plain foaming over this.

Voters having to show ID to vote? Why it’s just plain un-American isn’t it?

Let’s see…We have to show our ID to get on a plane…Don’t we?

We have to show our ID at the bank…Don’t we?

If you use a credit card to buy socks at “Socks R Us” we have to show our ID…Right?

Liberals are now claiming that voting is a right and that these new voter ID laws are preventing folks from exercising that right and Republicans are behind it all.

Maybe it’s just me, but I believe, in my heart of hearts, that voting, on the scale of things that are important, ranks at a level substantially higher than the purchase of socks.

If we need an ID for the socks, how can liberals, with a straight face, suggest that having to show ID to elect those who would occupy our Congress and the White House is unnecessary?

Did anyone but me notice that the liberals trotted out a few old standbys earlier?

These new voter ID laws are “unfairly targeting minorities, college students and the elderly — voters who are less likely to have a government-issued ID.”

Minorities…These new voter ID laws must be racist.

College students…Must be as close as they could come to…”Do it for the children” huh?

The elderly…Who as we all know, Republicans everywhere want to push off the cliff in a wheelchair.

Here’s what liberals are to chicken to tell you:

It will keep illegal aliens from voting!

It will keep people from registering to vote in districts where they don’t live.

It will keep people from voting on behalf of the dead – who, let’s face it, have had their voting rights…expire.

Again, maybe it’s just me, but instead of blaming Republicans for all of this…Liberals should be thanking ACORN for bringing a growing problem to the attention of legitimate American voters!

To say that new voter ID laws are “unfairly targeting minorities, college students and the elderly — voters who are less likely to have a government-issued ID,” is just by coincidence pointing out 3 groups who traditionally vote…Democrat…As do, oddly enough…most dead voters, various Disney characters and people who are prone to saying, “Photo ID’s…We don’t need no stinkin’ photo ID’s.”

Ahhh…leave it to Congressman Steve Kink (R – IA) to lend a voice of reason.

“How much more widespread would you have to be than operations going on in nearly all if not all of the 50 states, the major cities, and millions of dollars spent to pay people to go out and fraudulently register voters?”

King also brought up a bit of unseemly business at the hands of Obama’s DOJ in stating, “They have testified before the Judiciary Committee, where I serve, that they select which laws they want to enforce and which ones they do not want to enforce with regard to voting rights in the Civil Rights Division in the Department of Justice. They have a policy that they have testified to under oath under several different scenarios that they will not … move a voting rights case if it damages a minority. That’s the policy of the Department of Justice.”

We see, in these arguments from the liberals, an all too familiar scenario don’t we. Only liberals are smart enough to make the laws by which all Americans must abide. The American voters just aren’t intelligent enough to vote on something like voting laws and therefore, these new voter ID laws, voted on by American voters are just plain…un-American.

Perhaps this will aid in easing the minds of liberals.

Don’t think of these as new voter ID laws…Think of them as the laws of unintended consequences coming back to bite you in your knotted knickers.
