It is a sad state of affairs in this country when voter intimidation and disenfranchisement occurs when a voter cannot properly fill out a voter registration card, properly read, fill out and cast a ballot, provide their own ID, show up at the correct place within their district to vote, or decide that they will register to vote in more than one local.

My God people ... Many have given their lives in the past and will so in the future to allow us the privilege to vote. How about some responsibility on the part of the voter?

Idjit-San, Kevin's original comment, which you challenged, was that Palast is biased. Your challenge has been answered.

So the reporter has written books on bush... and does not care for him. Please show us any falsehoods in the story...

Maybe you are proud of a commander-in-chief who prances around on a flight deck with real fighting men under a "mission accomplished" banner while brave men die in Iraq.

bush could not be bothered to show up for a required physical during wartime. Meanwhile kids whos fathers were not hooked up in DC were getting their asses shot off in 'Nam.

Can't imagaine why anyone would not like bush...

For crying out loud, Anjin-San, how about you visit Greg Palast.com, where you can find plugs for his book (and DVD) Bush Family Fortunes: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy or see links to his stories:

Bush blocked Bin Laden probes
Bush Energy Plan: Policy or Payback?

Oh, never mind, I guess it's easier to just cast aspersions without any intelligent rebuttal.

Kevin,

Can you provide any proof of this bias you claim? I doubt it...

Look at the background of the reporter... He's hardly unbiased.
