Dems aim to dismantle state voting restrictions

19. With respect to you 1KansasDem. You make a tactical point that is supported by fact.

I understand the political calculus and the evidence. I do not dispute that this is probably not going to succeed in congress nor likely change public sentiment about identifying voters.

The risk of doing the right thing is a requirement of representing all of the people. My point is simply that if the party is not willing to fight for all of the people it loses the right to expect their support. A political fight is not only about the battles won. It is most certainly about why those battles must be fought. Mr. Romney and his Ilk are getting an object lesson in that reality as we speak.

We recently had the repeal of DADT. But do you recall who was the first president to attempt to change that aspect of military protocol? Did it matter that he tried to do it? I think you must ask those who served then and since how they feel about it, and about how they saw the future from that point on. The rights of the people matter to them...every single time.
