Deep down they know the Dems have the masses against them, right? Isn’t that what all this “voter ID” business is all about? Or voter caging, where GOP officials try to get voters striken from the rolls by sending out mailers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_caging
If you only want live qualified voters to vote, why do Republicans employ voter caging techniques?

We are afraid of higher taxes and having our country invaded. Democrats want higher taxes( to pay for all those promises) and don’t care (apparently) if our country gets invaded/attacked.

If they aren’t, they should be.

Whe you say “Masses”, do you mean masses of illegals and deceased folks? Because that’s what the voter ID “thing” is about.

Republicans aren’t scared of anything.
Democrats are the ones who should be scared!

Scared?? We just want the REAL and LIVE AMERICANS to vote (not dead, not illegal)

Well didn’t we have the masses against us during the last election too, lol and we won anyway. All the way up to midnight polls were saying that Kerry was going to win, he didn’t, Obama won’t win this year either nor will Hillary, McCain will.

Of course, that’s why they will have the fear-mongers out as it gets closer to elections, call ‘terror alerts’, and basically do everything they can to scare the people into believing that only John McCain can save us!

i would love a huge, record breaking turnout but it is not likely to happen. and the voter i.d. makes sure who ever is voting is the right person and they are legal. and never use wik as a source for info. who knows if it is right or wrong. i would guess american idol finals will get more young people to vote than the november elections. so sad isn’t it.

Oh heck no.
Take me for instance. I’m concerned that our country will turn into a overtaxed society from government. Social programs that fail. One hand of government taking money from where it’s needed and funding items not realistically or fundamentally sound.
Bulking up citizens with burdens so far fetched that we turn into a falling society just like the former Soviet Union.

Nope, Voter turn out is fantastic. I, personally, as an American first and foremost, want to see every single voter turn out to vote. What a wonderful thing that would be for our country. BUT I do want each voter to have an equal voice, so that means I don’t want any dead people voting. I don’t want any illegal immigrants voting (sorry, but illegals are NOT legal voters). I don’t want to have to wonder if people are voting twice. And trust me it happens with all sorts of stupid people, not just Dems. My dh worked in the board of Elections and he would bring home stories of rich wives who’s husbands were out of the country “but he told me who he wanted to vote for, so can I vote for him?” Idiots! And then there are the people who just moved - so they want to be able to vote where they used to vote - well that would be fine, except that if they voted there, they could also vote at their new place and there would be virtually no way to sort out that mess.
The rules are there for a reason. And the reason is not to give one party an advantage. It is to keep it fair for everyone.

i think everyone is just scared regardless. I don’t like any of the candidates, Republican or Democrat.
McCain is very foul mouthed, and just thinks he knows it all
Huckabee is a backstabbing religious nut
Hillary, do I even need to explain this one
Obama, holds your attention great, but has no experience whatsoever.
We don’t just need a politician in office, we need a buisness person. Someone who knows how the ball rolls. Who cares what they stand for in the end? does whether they like abortion or not really matter?
McCain is going to get the Republican nomination, no doubt about it. Huckabee doesn’t stand a chance either way. And if it’s Clinton verses McCain, it’ll be a very close raise. But if it’s McCain versus Obama, McCain will win by a long shot.
Even though I despise the man, I’d rather have someone with experience and someone who has been on the frontlines and knows what it’s like, rather than some guy that looks good standing at the pulpit.
I agree with McCain on one thing, we as a nation need to finish what we started. We can’t just promise we’re gonna pull everyone out of Iraq and then everything will be OK. We may not have started it in the very beginning, but we are in it now, and we need to finish it. and since McCain stands for that, McCain would get my vote if I were old enough.

First, the higher the voter turnout, the more uninformed or ill-informed voters are voting. That works in the Democrats’ favor.
Voter ID is aimed at preventing illegitimate voters from canceling out a legitimate voter’s vote. Illegal votes disfranchise legal voters by canceling out their vote.
As for all the hooplah about caging, there was a lot of hype and accusation, but very little evidence. Evidence would include producing any proof that voters were in fact challenged. That was not proven by any of the publications; it was not even attempted. All they had was a quote and an alleged e-mail. I need to be shown actual proof that a voter’s legitimate vote was challenged and thrown out. Until that occurs, it remains a conspiracy theory.

Hard to say. Worst case scenario for them is young people coming out and conservatives staying home. Best case is the opposite. Both would lead to medium turnouts.
