Another Obama Idea MANDATORY VOTING: Remember back a few months when the conservatives wanted people to show identifications when voting? Back then every single Liberal on this site...

Remember back a few months when the conservatives wanted people to show identifications when voting?
Back then every single Liberal on this site weighted in with the problems with having to obtain identifications. They used excuses from it would be too much of a hardship for people to make a trip to the local motor vehicles with a birth certificate. It would be costly...... and it went on and on.... why this idea sucked.

Well, Obama has come up with another idea.... Mandatory Voting. Yes, that is right. It will become mandatory -- regardless if you are a citizen or illegally in the USA. "Disproportionately, Americans who skip the polls on Election Day are younger, lower-income and more likely to be immigrants or minorities, Obama said." So to get more democrats out to vote, he plans to make it mandatory.

Hit the wring button. Every one should vote, It is our obligation as a citizen. Mandatory voting is unrealistic. What are "they" going to do to you if you don't vote?

I only have the link I provided. But, it is not unheard of. Remember during the past two eletions, people were rounded up and bussed to voting areas by the democrats. Australia has made voting compulsory. In Australia, if one does not turn out to vote they have a day in court and are fined ..... hit in the wallet usually encourages compliance to laws. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-23810381

I agree, everyone should vote. But, I am wondering how the Liberals will defend this action.....if it is too much of an inconvenience for citizens to get an identification..... How much more of an inconvenience will it be to vote in every single election within your district. Or pay a fine or potentially spend days in jail.

If everyone in America who is a registered voter had voted in the last 2 Presidential elections, we would not be talking about Barack Obama. He did not "win" as much as we gave it away by our apathy. And not running a worthy opponent in either race.

I don't believe that I am agreeing with you, but I am. You gave us no choice but to vote for Obama.

Sad that, if we choose to vote....it is for the lesser of two evils.
Washington is so corrupt now, I don't even think a nuclear blast could sanitize it!!
