Voter Suppression?!?

Accusations against ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, have recently flooded the news. The organization has been accused of fraudulently registering voters. Seven of their employees in Washington have already been charged and thousands of registrations are being investigated. The Nevada branch of ACORN even registered the Dallas Cowboys’ football team. With this much evidence of voter registration fraud what is prohibiting the states from creating stricter requirements?
Arizona currently requires proof of citizenship to vote and many other states are considering the same. The New York Times claimed that this “measure could lead to the disenfranchisement of tens of thousands of legal residents who would find it difficult to prove their citizenship.”
The United States has been deemed the “Land of Opportunity” for many reasons. People of all races and financial conditions begin at the same starting line. So when did that opportunity turn into entitlement? People want more, but want to do less.
In order to obtain a license or photo ID that states that one is 21, and of age to drink, a birth certificate or social security card has to be provided to the DMV. No matter an individual’s financial situation, they take the time to get the proper documents so they can go downtown. Why can’t they find the time to get the proper documents to vote?
The elite in many countries choose the leaders. Like the president or not, in America everyone chose him. Then four years later, has the opportunity to choose him again or choose someone else. Americans need to realize that voting is an honor and a privilege; with that comes responsibility. And the government needs to stop allowing adults to act like children. It is necessary to implement procedures to insure that the integrity of our democracy is being upheld.

Are 84% lying when they say they would never lie?

Ann Coulter’s blog EIGHTY-FOUR PERCENT SAY THEY'D NEVER LIE TO A POLLSTER is an informative piece written to bring encouragement to republican voters. The blog appeared on Coulter’s website AnnCoulter.com. Ann is an author with well known Republican views. One of her books to make it to the New York Times Bestsellers’ list was titled If Democrats Had Any Brains They’d Be Republicans. She has even been referred to as the Michael Moore of Republicans. The people who visit her website frequently are most likely Right-Wingers. Her crudeness and intensity of her opinions don’t leave room for many others.

Coulter’s most recent blog questioned the authenticity of answers Americans provide when being polled. Coulter suggested that because it was less “cool” to vote for McCain then for Obama people might just say they were voting for Obama when asked. Ann began the blog with a statement reminding Americans of the Bradley Effect. Originating in 1982, the Bradley Effect claims that Black people tend to poll higher because Americans are afraid if they say no they will be considered a racist.

Coulter reviewed polls dating back as far at 1976 and presented a logical argument against the accuracy of Obama’s place at the polls. Coulter’s argument was well written and simple. Although, with social barriers being shattered in recent years, it is hard to say whether The Bradley Effect will carry on to this election as well. Either way, Coulter’s blog gave Republicans reason to hope when the reasons seem to be shrinking fast.
