Redoing Congress in and of itself is not such a bad idea- the Senate is generally as useless as tits on a log due to the stupid rules that govern it.

Can any armchair political commentators here, comment on Obama's plan to get reelected by not creating jobs? It seems like a gamble, but then again I dont know how liberals think.

I do have to say, for all their faults, conservatives' lack of cognitive dissonance is a little bit endearing.

You know, considering that the best way the federal govt. can encourage job creation is increased spending, I'd like you to explain to me how Obama is going to get a $500 billion plus spending bill passed in the insane asylum known as the US House of Representatives.  Go ahead and try, shitburger.

With its Sarah Palin documentary "The Undefeated" increasing its playdates by 40 percent this weekend, only to watch box office revenue decline by more than 63 percent, distributor Arc Entertainment announced Sunday that the film will soon be available on pay per view.

The movie played in 14 Tea Party-friendly locations this weekend -- up from the 10 in which it opened last week -- but grossed just $24,000.

basically

Obama: Lets compromise
Boehner: Lets not compromise

So who folds first. The default will be averted, the question is which plan passes. Boehner can't even get his plan to pass in the house.

There's no requirement to get a photo ID, so why should there be one to vote when it's such a basic right?  It's like saying Freedom of Speech doesn't apply if you don't have a photo ID to prove you're a citizen or something.  That wasn't the fucking deal.  Either make photo ID's a mandatory requirement or drop it as a requirement for voting. 

But maybe you wanna go back to the days where you also had to own land.  :smug

Forgive me for being ignorant on the subject, but since I never voted, I thought you had to show photo ID anyway? Apparently that's not the case?

You've never voted?  Did you only become interested in politics 6 months ago?  I am honestly very surprised.

There may not be an explicit "right to vote" amendment in the constitution but votings rights are explicitly detailed in more than one amendment (by way of stating reasons you can't be denied to vote).

And I won't even bite your troll bait about insurance.

Oblivion: When you register you get a voter registration card.  You take that.  One of the reasons why the ID is absurd is because the proper authorities have already done their due process when you registered to vote, hence why you have the card. 

"Don't hassle me, man."

Edit: By the way, you can take other forms of ID if you lose your registration card.

Do I need to show identification in order to vote?
Michigan does have a voter identification requirement at the polls. Voters are asked to present an acceptable photo ID such as a Michigan driver's license or identification card. Please note that voters who do not have an acceptable form of ID or failed to bring it with them to the polls still can vote. They simply sign a brief affidavit stating that they're not in possession of a photo ID. Their ballots are included with all others and counted on Election Day.

how come convicts can't vote
That's been an ongoing issue for a long time with people stating it's unconstitutional.  I personally don't like the idea of someone who's "served their time" being told they can't vote.  Let them vote.  In other words, states have made it a state issue, not a federal issue since the constitution isn't explicit on convicts.  Pretty much every state has a movement trying to challenge it on constitutional grounds.

The loneliest tea party:

Quote
Despite featuring Tea Party icons Sens. Jim DeMint (R-SC), Mike Lee (R-UT), and Rand Paul (R-KY), among others, a gathering outside the Senate organized by the Tea Party Express to urge Republicans to stand firm against a compromise bill drew only a handful of attendees.

Reporters, many of whom came to interview presidential candidate Herman Cain, appeared to easily outnumber protesters. And despite being the most prominent attendee, Cain ended up not addressing the crowd and instead watching from the sidelines.

Talking Points Memo on FacebookThe dismal showing comes as Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations are waging an aggressive campaign against a plan by Republican leaders to raise the debt ceiling with a two-tiered set of cuts and no promise of a balanced budget amendment.

That's not exactly fair to John McCain.  We all know McCain, when he's not in election years, is a pretty smart, logical individual.  Yeah, he's a Republican, but he's by far one of the most logical ones in DC.  He just happens to dumb his positions down whenever he needs reelection.
