Stunning Democrat Hypocrisy
 
So we haer that since voting is a right you don't need to identify who you are when you vote so say the dems.

Well unless it's their primary of course...


MA Democrats: No Entry to Convention Without Photo ID

Quote:

On Saturday, Massachusetts delegates will meet in their state's Democrat party convention. The votes of these delegates will determine whether there are primary elections for their party nominations. With so much at state, Democrats have decided to implement Voter ID requirements:


A PHOTO ID WILL BE REQUIRED TO ENTER THE MASSMUTUAL CENTER



More do as i say not as i do.

Dems apparently don't want voter fraud at their primary, or are they trying to disenfranchise people?

The primary as defined by Massachusetts Convention is not an open election, as guaranteed by the constitution...

It is the exclusive venue of registered democrats... no theocratic wingnuts allowed, just common sense folks.

But...... but..... what about the 78 year old woman who has muscular dystrophy and bells palsy and Lou Gerhig's disease who is bedridden and wheelchair bound and can't move more than 3 inches without extremem pain?!?!? Why are the democrats trying to disenfranchise this woman?!?!?!

You think individual rights are the same as entry into a convention? Really?

I thought you were opposed to "gotcha" politics? That seems to be your theme on thread-starting these days.

C'mon! Get serious. This is a serious election with serious issues and consequences at stake. Enough of this crap.

I think I will head to Tampa in August and stamp my feet, and cry unconstitutional when they do not let me in to the wingnut convention...

Yeah...her and the other 1,650,000 million nursing home residents in the same situation. Or the 1.56 million who, yearly, are sick enough to receive hospice care in their homes or in hospice facilities?

What about them?

It also costs money to enter.

But this isn't voting, is it? Where in the Constitution is the right to attend a party convention? (Still waiting to hear your answer on your Constitutional claim about voter registration)

Did you even read this, or are you just making things up?

Or have the Dems tried to force the pubs to permit everybody to attend their conventions, without any ID? That would in fact be hypocrisy, although it still wouldn't be the same as voting.

Sure seems to me that the dems are trying to disenfranchise them completely from party politics. And for some reason you're comfortable with this.

That's it? That's all you have?

There are only a couple hundred delegates to the MA Democrat Convention - they have to be appointed, they have to pay for their attendance, they have to arrange and pay for their travel to and from the convention center....how many nursing home residents or hospice patients are going to want to do that as opposed to how many of the over 3 million nursing home residents or hospice patients are going to want to fill out an absentee ballot?
