Second cup of Coffee Talk

OK, can we please shut up with the Oprah for President bullshit, please?

I get it, she read a speech well. And she seems to be, as celebrities go, a decent person. And she has repeatedly answered jstew's prayers. But for fuck's sake, haven't we learned the lesson yet about what unqualified people do when elected to public office by people who like their movie or TV show?

Jesse Ventura
Arnold Schwarzengunner
Al Franken
Donald Trump

We need to look at the fact that we are so starved for leadership that we get all excited when someone, ANYONE, says something positive and relatable. Try and fix that.

But for the love of God, no more TV stars. Especially not the one who sprung Dr Phil AND Dr Oz on the world.

Nope, I'm not the one putting my personal bias on who can run for president...

Who can and who should run for president are two very different things.

Who we like and who has the legislative and other political experience to effect the changes we seek are likewise two very different things.

Ryan Johansen is quite happy in Nashville, thank you very much.

Maybe you should call yourself Dr Jstew and proclaim you can heal people through the power of corn, then she will call. You will sell TONS of books.

It's as if people like me take seriously our responsibilities and do our damn jobs.

In person voter fraud is not a problem and people who tell you it is or that getting an ID shouldn't be a big issue don't know what the fuck they are talking about. Period. They're just wrong and they are basing their position on fear and falsely perceived bias rather than facts and experience.

This is politics, and politics alone.

Weapons of mass destruction hunters, voter fraud commission, and U2?

Groups that still haven't found what they're looking for.

Not politics alone. There's a pretty healthy dose of racism.
Analysis | Do voter identification laws suppress minority voting? Yes. We did the research.

I have never understood how opponents come to the conclusion that these segments of the population “don’t have access to proper voter ID”. The study that the article links to states that research was done regarding “access” then to show the results for this “access” research shows tables with results of polls of how many people from different demographics have and don’t have a document that would suffice as voter ID. It makes no mention of why or why not these people have passable voter ID, just that they don’t have it and then comes to the conclusion that “While both numbers are regrettable, the data demonstrate that blacks are disproportionately impacted by the Indiana law”, which, how exactly is that data demonstrating anything other than fewer black people have a document that would pass as a voter ID? It has no data on if these people would want to vote in the first place.

It also totally ignores the fact that the percentages of each demographic studied that do have a passable voter ID far exceeds the voting turnout rate for each of those demographics. While a few people may get fucked over at the poll, it’s hardly anywhere near enough of a percentage of the potential electorate to turn an election result. The large, large majority of the people they’re arguing over in courts simply don’t give a fuck about voting and if they did could get the required identification in a matter of days.

If you have the time and ability to get up, go to a polling station and vote, you have the ability to get up, go to a gov’t office and get a state ID card.
