Don't have an ID with you at the polls? That's fine, no biggie. What, someone wants to pass a law requiring such an act? No biggie, the Democratic governor will veto it. People need to stop acting as if the GOP is going to eat every baby in this country and completely destroy this nation. I don't mind people criticizing the Republicans, god knows they've screwed up, but since when is the Democratic party this happy, shining beacon of hope that is practically guaranteed to usher in a new American golden age?
This.
Of course, none of the Democrats in this thread are actually suggesting that we do something, like, reform the law regarding foreclosure and the vote. They are hating the player when its the game that is messed up. Their faith in politicians is so strongly misplaced that they believe we can keep the rules the same way, and just expect politicians to not take advantage of them. If the Democrats could use the foreclosure law to their benefit, then they would be doing so. You play to win the game. That's why you're supposed to set up fair rules, and set up a system of checks to make sure the rules are followed.
