Okay, I understand that dumbass is a harsh term, but think of it this way: I'm Red Foreman from That 70's Show, and McNally is Eric Foreman. This column is McNally's "dumbass-able" offense. Clearly, McNally doesn't have any shame, and he also doesn't take issues very seriously, because his column irresponsible. He is writing on the voter ID bill, and from the very start he takes things into the universe of the exaggerating dumbasses. He portrays Republicans as rich white men-a cheap liberal tactic that is in and of itself a little bit racist in the way that it dismisses the conservative nature of some minorities. But that's not what this is about. This is about the fact that McNally cannot fight voter ID on its merits. Instead, he has to blow the issue out of proportion and mislead readers from his very first sentence on. Wisconsinites of all color, creed, and class have expressed concern that their votes are being cheapened by the fact that anyone can play the voting system in this state and never face the consequences. My vote counts the same as any white, black, or Hispanic man or woman, young or old, rich or poor. But all of our votes are weakened by those who commit voter fraud, and when you do not have to definitively prove who you are when you vote, you are asking for more fraud. That means all of us who play the game within the law are getting screwed, Mr. McNally. The lack of voter ID in this state only benefits those who play the system best. And since Democrats are fighting voter ID the hardest, I'd have to say that they are the best players.
If anyone is concerned that some people may have difficulty getting ID's, I have a suggestion for you. Volunteer in your community. Maybe even organize a group that helps the disadvantaged get their ID's. Or is the huge heart just the face you liberals put towards the public?
Addition
If I decide to start "The Red Foreman Award," McNally gets the inaugural one. Comes with a foot in the ass.
