MN Rep Zellers(R) Voting "Is A Privilege NOT A Right"

[kpete]

When you go to even a Burger King or a McDonalds and use your debit card, they'll ask you to see your ID," Zellers said sometime after 11 p.m. "Should we have to do that when we vote, something that is one of the most sacred -- I think it's a privilege, it's not a right. Everybody doesn't get it, because if you go to jail or if you commit some heinous crime your rights are taken away. This is a privilege.

1. No dummy, it's a right.

These idiots just make it up as they go along, don't they? Doesn't matter if it's true or not, they are more than will to utter absurd nonsense if it bolsters their standings with the bigotted supporters.

2. Wow. Another Repuke gets it absolutely ass-backwards.

This is frightening.

3. Everything is a privilege not a right to these assholes

Education, health care, a driver's license, now even voting. Everything is a privilege not a right.

Except owning as many firearms as you effin want. THAT'S a right.

Disclaimer: I own a lot of firearms. That is my right. But so is voting.

More republican hypocrisy.

4. The Republic argument is always "voter fraud".

The Democratic argument is "election fraud".

Ohio, Florida and, now, Michigan, have proved our fears.

5. Now they want to take that away too?

6. To put this in perspective

I saw a bumper sticker claiming that gun ownership is a right, not a privilege

If driving a car is a privilege, owning guns sure as hell is too

[Edweird]

12. Let's see.. you got your 1st A (free speech), your 2nd A (guns), etc.Which amendment covers driving?

I'm not familiar with that one.

9. Curious - is this asshat from the same district as bachmann or is there

another district that is going crazy in what used to be a very sensible Minnesota?

10. So Republicans believe. Only the privileged should have the right

to vote, in their minds. They want to go back to a time when only white male property owners had the right to vote. That would please them greatly.

"We are privileged, so we can vote. You are not privileged, so STFU."

This should be the main campaign point used to defeat this horrid person in 2012. He is either a moron or a oligarchist. Either way, he should not be returned to office.

11. I don't frequent fast food establishments anymore

but I can assure you that when I did and used my debit card to pay for my meal, I was never once asked for my ID.

13. It's OK...

That was never intended to be a FACTUAL STATEMENT!


:crazy:

[angstlessk]

14. So your 'right' to vote is taken away if you commit a heinous crime..not your

'privilege'? I think he is confused...and got it backward!

15. These are the fucking idiots we elect to office

The level of idiocy from the GOP never fails to amaze and astound!
