Why some people should not be blogging

From Community Matters

This line is priceless:

**
From my pro voter ID viewpoint, I believe that requiring identification to vote sounds logical. Unless we have something to hide, what is the problem with showing an ID whenever we vote? It makes sense that requiring photo identification to vote helps ensure election integrity and protect the rights of voters.

Unless we have something to hide??? In that case, why don't we just trash the bill of rights? While we are at, no need for the 4th and 5th Amendments...right? If you have nothing to hide, you don't need a lawyer, right? No need to get court orders for wiretaps.

The logic bust on Community Matters is this reasoning: "If you don't have an ID or refuse to show an ID - you have something to hide and therefore, are not a legitimate voter."

I love it when Community Matters state in effect that there is merit to both sides of the debate. I love the quote from Rep. Metcalf. The problem is - there is no empircal evidence to suggest that there has ever been widespread voter fraud. And yet CM sees this side of the argument.

People should have a clue before they spout off and weigh in on topics. Some people should not be blogging on certain topics.
