Proposed Photo ID Legislation Failed
Constitutional Change to Restrict Voting Rights Faced
Groundswell of Opposition from Across the State
JEFFERSON CITY, MO – In a victory for all voters, Missouri lawmakers ended this year’s legislative session without a final vote on legislation that could have prevented up to 240,000 Missourians from voting. The proposed change would have altered Missouri’s constitution, allowing for strict citizenship and government-issued photo ID requirements that would make Missouri one of the toughest states in the country for eligible, law-abiding citizens to register to vote or cast a ballot.

Our 99 rules (and glowing ... yep I speak japanese) say you must be a gadfly party member to McBush, McFeign or smoke cigs like the rest of the Hunter wannabes ... but ... butt ... Butt ... BUTT ... there ain't no ass holes round heahya ... SEDD all 9999999 of them Them THEM ...
Cool, but we got your numbah ... it is like they think the 1% they are going to disenfranchise are going to be relevant in a 55-45 rout in November. Either fuck or go figgur ... but stop with the lips already.
You really gotta wonder about the AI EI bowel movement sometimes.

Here's the proof that Mark Lindeman is either a Republican or a Lieberman.
Pangs of Conscience
You can check out the names at that place he made some sophistry: Suzanne Nossel, Rosa Brooks...
The place is called The National Security Network. It preaches the status quo of the military-industrial complex.
In short, social movements get co-opted. A while back the peace in space movement got hijacked by Carol Rosin. Folks can look into that. She turned out to be a limited hangout fake talking about aliens and the Disclosure Project. I don't make shit up. It's because of these posers that social movements get stymied.
A guy like Lindeman is qualified to be an astroturfer. He is not a mathematician. He simply has no credentials for the circular crap he spams all over the internet. Professor Freeman nailed the exit poll analysis. Lindeman is a limited hangout, an emperor with no clothes type.
He co-authored a Political Science textbook on public opinion.
Public Opinion and Democratic Competence
Lindeman is an establishment "academic." I was fortunate to be able to get some college in. I know this type of guy. He likes to look at himself in the mirror. He likes his money and status. He distrusts the common people. He's the kind of guy the real Socrates would have told, "No, you are not as important as you think you are."
Mark Lindeman- Former Research Associate, Choices Project, Watson Institute, Brown University
He has a fundamental acceptance of the status quo. That is clear. It doesn't add up why he is allowed to post on the Democratic Underground. The DailyKos? No surprise there.

I love the quotation from Senate majority Leader Harry Reid I found here about Hans von Spakovsky:
JOE SUDBAY (Americablog.com): Hi I'm Joe Sudbay from Americablog, based here in DC. And I'm interested in the issue of presidential nominations particularly the FEC and what will happen with that. We saw last week that Bush withdrew David Mason who was quoted in the Washington Post earlier this year, saying that John McCain was basically breaking the law. So what do you foresee in general with presidential nominations going forward this session and particularly with the FEC.
REID: I've had private discussions with Bolten, Josh Bolten. I've had many things public in nature, in fact most publicly, we've exchanged a number of letters back and forth. Here's where we are now. We have three Democrats that we are happy to have on the Federal Election Commission. They have three Republicans they're happy to have on the Federal Election Commission. We will not let one of them be approved. His name is Von Splotsky or something like that. So they're going to have to make a decision, they're going to have to replace him or there will be no FEC. And they need it worse than we do.
"Von Splotsky, or something like it." I love it! Methinks Harry is having some very knowing fun with the name.
