Comments on: Nuns Turned Away At Ind. Polling Station

Some Complain About Indiana's New Strict Photo ID Election Law

[timtravelr]

So much for the fascade of hope that''''s more realistically masked by some of the ugliest negative sentiments for anyone that doesn''''t swallow its bull. Way to go Obama fans. You never cease to show your true colors.

Great post. I can''t help but think. These nuns have lived good, long lives. I wonder why....

This is not a new law in Indiana. It is 4 years old. What we have here, is posturing for the press, and their infomercial, pretending that somehow this is a bad law.

"I think you got that backwards, those nuns would be voting for their right wing favorite- the bush clone, anti abortion anti g@y rights man McBush. They WANT the votes.

Yes, for them, McCain is still a kid. LOL.

[nonayabiness]

Virginia''s law states no ID is required, but you have to fill out a special form to vote. My husband has never been asked for an ID. Voting in my district, they asked for it, and they told him he could not vote without it. Va''s webpage says you have the right to vote and not present ID. I''ve always been asked for mine, and given it willingly, but my husband was right, and the election volunteers were wrong.

[nishaboston]

So what they should have had an ID. Why is this a story because they are nuns?

[trbundro1277]

In all honesty, the probably would have voted for Clinton, she gets the elderly vote! But they may also have voted for Juan Amnesty McCain, the bush clone!

[sjbj2322]

Why is this funny? What humor can anyone truly find in anyone''s vote not being counted simply because the diacease that knew it had elderly who needed assistance didn''t take the time to do it. These nuns have committed their lives to the service of others. They have a better first hand grasp of human disparity than any politician running for office, as well as a vested interest in the direction this country takes in the future. I don''t have a problem with liberals but for most of us the term means acceptance of those who are different - not condemnation. It is exactly because of this rude mentality that many migrate toward the middle with those who still know what it means to have some sense of respect and courtesy for others rather than the far left-wing mentality that anything goes. So much for the fascade of hope that''s more realistically masked by some of the ugliest negative sentiments for anyone that doesn''t swallow its bull. Way to go Obama fans. You never cease to show your true colors.

hey had been told earlier that they would need such an ID to vote.

The nuns, all in their 80s or 90s, didn''t get one but came to the precinct anyway.

%u201COne came down this morning, and she was 98, and she said, ''I don''t want to go do that,%u201D'' Sister McGuire said. Some showed up with outdated passports. None of them drives."


Oh GEZUS! just what we need, a bunch of alzheimers riddled rightwing nuns who cant follow instructions and cant even drive- voting for THE most important election ever.

Anyone who is ill enough mentally to waste their lives with a Santa Claus in the sky and be involved with a pedo shielding hypocritical thing like a church is not going to vote right- STAY HOME SISTAHS!
let *US* get the vote right this time cause you idiots couldnt do it the last TWO elections.

DISGUSTING VOTER SUPPRESSION!

Voter suppression by the un-patriotic Republican powers that be.

Only the destructive forces of the Republican party would make it difficult for real Americans to participate in their election process!

[nothappyatall]

Good! maybe the right wingers who voted for our disaster in chief TWICE can STAY HOME!

Well SISTAH, maybe you''d better get your azz in gear and get a PHOTO ID

The US Constitution is being undermined by anti-American Republican forces, who will try any dirty tricks to win power.

And when Americans mindless vote for these traitors, they turn around and trash the country, kill off our young in wasteful wars and drive up the national debt.

WAKE UP, AMERICANS!

You can''t vote for KNOWN liars, deceivers and Constitution subverters, and then complain when America is damned!

[wogerwabbit]

I bet those nuns are part of the vast left wing conspiracy of voter fraud that the vast right wing conspiracy tells us is so rampent these days.

[rational_1]

So nun of them could vote?

LOL! Oh hey now that was funny! But you know, voting could be habbit forming.
Posted by dragonwagon5 at 10:12 PM : May 06, 2008

I guess they just had too much faith in the whole voting process.

[wlmrtpatriot]

I''m laughing at your comment:)jack3213

[blackbug99]

Now don''t you think that if it had been a big issue previously, that the Diocese or nunnery would have done the proper things to get them eligible to vote?

Do it now! Campaign elections are shams anyway. People, whether 98 or 18, should feel empowered to vote.

[Nuns shouldn''''t be voting anyway ... And if they have to vote they should be doing it in a lawful manner. Just because they''''re nuns doesn''''t mean they are above the law.]
[Posted by vancouverboo at 08:18 PM : May 06, 2008]

i was just thinking the same thing ... they''re always trying to push the limits all the time ... those freakin'' nuns.

[gkc99]

The Klan doesn''t like Blacks OR Catholics!

[aguilaverde-2009]

aw ffs its a 98 year old nun. what harm would it do? just let it have its way and itll go back into hibernation.

[vancouverboo]

Nuns shouldn''t be voting anyway. They''re not supposed to be in politics. And if they have to vote they should be doing it in a lawful manner. Just because they''re nuns doesn''t mean they are above the law.
