Sam Brownback is not the man we deserve

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

No he didn't. He made no mention of "fees" what-so-ever. Khan did.

The OP states that "Drivers Licenses" are cheap relative to an iPhone. DRIVERS LICENSES, not fees, are something that 99.9999% of the voting population is GOING TO ALREADY HAVE PURCHASED WHETHER THEY VOTE OR NOT. If you are one of the 0.0001% of Kansans that wish to vote that do not already own a driver's license, then you can purchase an alternate state ID, or if you can't afford one, one will be given to you FREE.

All of this makes koo koo's original comments regarding whatever happened in Texas regarding some stupid poll tax argument to be ENTIRELY worthless and IRRELEVANT as regards BROWNBACK which is the ENTIRE CONTEXT of this thread. And it is PRECISELY that context that you have completely missed and/or avoided.

Here let me recap for everyone: The OP states sarcastically that driver's licenses are cheap, so stop bitching about them. Koo koo implied ... "Brownback signed a poll tax! I embarrassed you!" Kung Wu says, "not a poll tax in Kansas, koo koo -- Brownback made sure of that." Koo koo says, "you didn't read it because you didn't hit the quote button." WuDrWu says, "that doesn't even make sense ... about not quoting it therefore you didn't read it." Koo koo says, "liar!" (again making ZERO sense) Jamar says, "I expect more out of Kung Wu" Kung Wu says, "By definition, you can't improve perfection." Koo koo says, "This vodka is yummy!" Jamar ALWAYS gets the last word ... so here it comes ...

You missed the point completely.

[shock]

You missed the point completely.

You missed the whole freaking bus

[shocka khan]

I know. You think he missed the whole freakin' bus because He wasn't doing those chants with the frat brothers at OU that you keep trying to convince us are nice guys with a great sense of humor who let a joke get out of hand, right?

[shock]

Lol I hope your ticket is refundable.

My recap of this thread:

1. Linked article clearly implies that a nominal fee for some ID to vote is OK.

2. First two responses are personal insults.

3. It's pointed out that such a fee constitutes a poll tax and is therefore, unconstitutional.

4. Kansas law is shown to pass Constitutional muster. The debate could have ended there.

5. Chaos ensues due to failed attempts to poke holes into each other's logic for the sole purpose of trying to prove each other wrong when there is nothing to prove. Enough hairs have been split among thread participants to give Bill Self 100 lifetime supplies of hairpieces.

I find that valid points can, and often are made on both sides of issues like this. But those points get completely lost when delivered behind enough snark and personal insults to fill the empty seats during a basketball game at the Octagon of Gloom.

Did I include enough snark in this post to be taken seriously?
