BLAZE REPORTER REQUIRED TO SHOW ID THREE TIMES TO ENTER DNC CONVENTION How’s this for irony: Democratic convention organizers are requiring journalists applying for press credentials to display their state-issued ID not once, not twice, but three times. The stringent ID rules for journalists at the Democrat Party‘s convention seem a bit odd considering the party’s broad, alarmist stance on voter ID laws. The ID laws have drawn harsh criticism from the liberal establishment, including Vice President Joe Biden who has called the practice “voter suppression” and MSNBC hosts who’ve called the laws “racist” and “a GOP conspiracy.” But for some reason, ID rules aren’t racist when it comes to security at the Democrat National Convention. Here are the three times photo ID’s were required: The DNC Press Credential packet itself states that two official forms of ID are necessary for admittance: And to receive a credential in the first place, journalists must submit plenty of personal information: By using the left’s arguments against voter ID laws, can it be said that the DNC is racially suppressing reporters? http://www.theblaze.com/stories/dem...quirements-when-it-comes-to-their-convention/ Heck....you even need proper ID to volunteer at the convention! http://charlottein2012.com/involved/volunteer/ Frequently Asked Questions Below is a list of the most frequently asked questions. Please take a look at that before you start registration and refer back if necessary when you are entering your profile information. Thank you for joining the thousands of volunteers who will help make Charlotte shine in September! Is there an age requirement? All volunteers must be at least 18 years of age by June 2012. A valid driver’s license or government identification may be used as proof of age. How many shifts do I have to work? Volunteers must be available to work a minimum of two 4-hour shifts. Volunteers are permitted to volunteer for back-to-back shifts. Am I required to attend training? All volunteers will be required to attend a general training and any specialized training sessions pertaining to their specific volunteer assignment. What if I live out of state? Will I still be able to participate in a training session? Ideally, training sessions should be attended in person, however, if that is not possible we will work to arrange alternative training sessions. I mean really? What a bunch of HYPOCRITE'S! How can anyone take these people seriously? So, you need proper ID to attend the convention and proper ID to volunteer at the convention....BUT NOT TO VOTE FOR THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES????!! Please, defend this you liberals....I want to see you try.
There are security concerns at a convention. There aren't really those concerns at a polling place. Ergo the respective need, or non-need, for ID. Why is this difficult to figure out for some people? Voter ID laws are a solution looking for a problem.
I knew this was going to be an agrument. I'm not sure why you DO NOT understand that there is absolutely NO valid agrument as to why someone IS required to show ID for virtually everything else they need to do in this country....other than VOTE! Are you saying that there are no security concerns to this nation by letting non-citizens vote? If there are NO PROBLEMS than why do the dems continue to cause such hypocrisy? Why do they continue to fight against voter ID laws? Answer me this: What are your concerns over showing proper ID to vote?
The valid argument is yours to make, as ID is not currently required. When in doubt, the default position in our country should always be one of MORE freedom and LESS government. Since you are proposing to add to the government's control, you are the one who needs to justify your actions. No. I am saying there is no widespread problem of non-citizens voting or attempting to vote. Do you have evidence that non-citizens are attempting to vote in ways that would be prevented by having ID? I don't know why "Dems" do it, you'd have to ask one of them. I do it because I am interested in liberty and freedom, and place those values above the false sense of security you gain from requiring ID for every living act. My primary concern is that it is an unneeded burden on voters. To show that a law should be passed, shouldn't the supporters have to show that the law is absolutely needed? In a free country, yes.
Soooo.... your argument is that requiring voter ID, means more government? LOL. I have jusitfied them....it is to PREVENT anyone who is not legally allowed to vote...to vote. Not sure why you don't understand this JUSTIFICATION. How many illegal votes cast will you allow? And why? Btw, convicted felons are not allowed to vote, and neither are dead people...it's not just an illegal alien issue. So "liberty" to you is allowing people who shouldn't vote...to vote? Whether it be even a single one, why is this ok with you? , So, "freedom" to you means never having to show ID when you vote? So security for you means to not have to prove who you say you are? Security to you means when someone says "I am" you say "yes, of course you are....go right ahead and board the plane sir" Why is it a burden to put a form of ID in your pocket when going to the voting booth? They have. I will ask you again...how many illegal ballots is exceptable to you?
It still begs the question if the DNC is racist. See, we keep hearing how ID's to vote won't allow people to vote who are poor, and minorities. So why does the DNC not want poor or minorities attending their event?
Because attending the convention s NOT an "election". The poor are present through their ELECTED DELEGATES! The caucus or the voting poll where the poor ELECTED the delegates to the convention where next door, and did not require ID. Right Wingers need to get out more, and learn about the election system in the USA. AT LEAST enough to learn a "convention" is NOT an "election".
Democrat Hypocrisy knows no bounds....... .....amazing how so many Democrats dont have an issue showing ID at the Welfare Office, the Liquor store, or the DNC Convention. . .
No (*)(*)(*)(*) sherlock. Think a little deeper ok. The right to vote, is far more important than attending a convention. Each vote should be secure and safe. Hence why showing ID to vote is important.
Each citizen should be permitted to vote WITHOUT paying government a fee and getting an ID card. The state has the registration list, They can check out anyone on that list they want to.
You mean once they have beaten the DOJ in a federal court. Yes, then they can remove anyone on the list that shouldn't be there.
Whos says you have to pay for ID? You must carry ID on you at all times once you are of the age of 18 anyway.
Hey (0) we all know what the Republican strategy is, and it is not going to work. In fact, it has galvanized the Democrats like never before, and so I thank ignorant shrills like yourself for doing this. Go back to Troll.com or Aryan Dream.com and stop insulting the MAJORITY of people who know full well what this whole voter ID @#% was about, which was to try to limit numbers of voters because Dip@#$% Republicans think they have a better chance to win by last minute Fing with voter registration. Already caught on tape admitting that voter ID was designed to help Romney win: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuOT1bRYdK8 The Gig is up man. LIE don't work no more. Romney/Ryan/Rush/Hannidy/FOX FAIL! again!.
I'm not a Republican and i think its insulting you think Blacks cant get Id's. Then again Liberals believe in "racially" biased tests and think that any Black that doesnt follow along with the D's is an "Uncle Tom". Its simple. You can do more with an ID then vote. Every adult should have an ID of some form as it has to many uses NOT to have an ID.
Is that supposed to make this somehow less racist? If requiring ID to vote is racist, then requiring one to attend a convention must also be racist.
