		<description>Someone75 -  Why make it harder?  Well, gee, maybe to cut back on election-rigging by both parties?  People who want to vote will happily go through a couple hoops to vote.  Those who won&#039;t, don&#039;t know enough to vote reasonably anyway.

  Well, lookee, turns out Obama hates coal.  Duh!  I wonder how many people are now wishing they had not voted early?  Joke&#039;s on them.  This is why early voting is nonsense, because something like this could break at the last minute.</description>

		<description>Marc Malone:

What&#039;s your issue with Obama helping his supporters vote? If McCain had the organization and the man-power, he&#039;d be doing it too. Since everyone has the right to vote, why not help us flex that right? Why keep someone from voting? Why make it harder for people to vote? I&#039;ve seen voter intimidation and misinformation coming from the conservatives that far outweighs anything ACORN has ever done.</description>

		<description>I totally disagree with the early voting process other than what it was originally set up for.

I find this campaign to be particularly disturbing and am both appalled and disappointed at the media bias on most fronts, the early voting...which I do not trust as it is being carried out and the acorn debacle with federal investigations looking into voting fraud in all the swing states.

I see all this and it is surreal and am astounded that in this day and age these things are allowed to perpetuate.

For the first time ever...I have lost respect for journalists I had previously followed, even when I didn&#039;t agree with them and I believe they have compromised their journalistic integrity.</description>

		<description>Jason - Actually, right now, that seems like not too bad a suggestion.  I kinda like the idea that if you don&#039;t own the house you live in, you can&#039;t vote.  Those who lack basic life skills shouldn&#039;t be voting.  Besides, it seems that most blacks just seem to hate America.  How else would black liberation theology churches like UTCC thrive?

  Now, the above was the opposite extreme equivalent of your position.  If you can&#039;t provide proof of citizenship and State residence, you shouldn&#039;t be allowed to vote.  All it does is invite voter fraud.

  Some people shouldn&#039;t be allowed to vote.  If they are so bad off as to be considered incompetent to stand trial, they shouldn&#039;t vote.  Do homeless or mentally incompetent people serve on juries?  I know, I know: Apparently.  The point is, there are necessary and reasonable restrictions on voting, just as there are for free speech.  Somewhere, we must draw a line.</description>
