The Knight Life by Keith Knight for October 26, 2012

My grandparents, my Dad’s generation, and even some of my older cousins, were born AT HOME, no doctor or other government official in attendance, and therefore many DID NOT have birth certificates! My Dad was one of the last people in Ohio not to have a driver’s license, as one was NOT required when he learned to drive! Our government had no problem allowing them to register and vote. Dad even worked for the Board of Elections until his retirement. In all his time, there was ONE episode of voter fraud. A solution looking for a problem, as voter fraud is ALREADY a crime. All those greedy bastard Republican CEO’s should be brought up on voter intimidation charges for trying to bully their employees to vote Republican!

This is just silly!

No, we’ll just have to worry about the Ohio voting machines owned by Tagg Romney’s company flipping all the votes to dear old daddy, like they did for the Shrub in 2004.

**The fourteenth, fifteenth, seventeenth, nineteenth, twenty-second, twenty-fourth and twenty-sixth all deal, fully or in part, with the right to vote; more amendments deal with this single issue than any other enumerated constitutional right.

A former Boss once told me history doesn’t repeat it’s self stupid people repeat history. All this political fighting brings us back to people being disenfranchised all over again. So sad

Rick Pikul: Yep.
