Why Do Democrats Want More Americans to Vote and Republicans Want to Eliminate Urban & Young Voters?

The answer is simple:

Democrats want for the country to speak for what it wants, who it wants, and how they want it. By voting.

Republicans do not care what the country wants, who wants it, or how they get it. They care about continuing their capitalist agendas and retiring fat and happy. The urban and youth voters are threatening to this: as they are not in line with the capitalist way of thinking.

So... the fight for the White House is being determined by the willingness of the people to invoke change, and the determination of the rich to continue to oppress them.

Both sides want to make sure that the majority of the votes cast on election day go their party. The Democrats by ensuring a high turnout especially in areas where the majority of voters are democrats. The republicans want to disenfranchise anyone that may vote against them. Keep in mind that the Republicans still have another trick up their sleeve in certain states like Ohio. It is known as the Diebold Virtual Voter system. Electronic voting with no audit trail. It worked in Ohio in 2004. This 21st century methodology has supplanted the old Richard J Daley vote early and often technique for ensuring the outcome of elections.

Paul Weyrich: “Now many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome — good government. They want everybody to vote. I don’t want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.

Weyrich, father of the right-wing movement and co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, Moral Majority and various other groups tells his flock that he doesn’t want people to vote. That’s why the GOP is obsessed with voter fraud—only they want to disenfranchise voters because as Weyrich said back in the ’80’s…the more voters there are—the less of a chance the wingers have in any election.

"prove their registrations are valid on Election Day"

Who would ever dare have a voter prove he's legal to vote.

How dare they do that.

Don't even start on Ohio, the reason Kerry didn't protest is because his operatives were throwing out voting tapes on machines that showed more votes for Bush in Democrat areas, and yes there were quite a few.

He wanted no part of that being exposed but it was.

And Florida, Gore tried his hardest to steal the election. If he wanted a recount then why wouldn't he let Harris finalize the vote, which is necessary before having a STATEWIDE recount.

Enough said,

Question for you, when Democrats like the Gov. Gregoire steal and election and it's proven later that she did, why aren't Democrats crying foul?

When Democrats try and figure out how to steal an election and they are stopped, they do cry foul?

Illegal immigrants use this same process to vote when they should not.

The goal is to prevent their being introduced into the vote.

It should be brought to light, and the best decision made while not allowing illegal immigrants to vote.

Thank you for drawing attention to it.

Similar things have been done my party (Democrat), and by the Republican party in the past. Political bigotry is still an accepted form of prejudice in our country.

Not for long.

They don't. But in the last election, the Democrats tried to nullify all of the military absentee votes so the patriotic Americans wouldn't be counted.

You're doing what's called begging the question. Your setting it up that your question is also your proof. I've worked in politics for 30 years and the reality is that both Democrats and Republicans want people to vote when they think it favors them and they both want people not to vote when they think it favors them. I think the only way you will believe this is if you research evey political race.

No, the only voters we want to eliminate are dead ones... Somehow they seem to keep getting resurrected and voting for Democrats.

Because those people are MUCH more likely to support Obama, that's why.

I don't see conservatives trying to stop anyone form voting, except for those that have no legal right to do so.. What I have seen for example, in 2000, the dems were trying their hardest to have military votes thrown out.. Yes You heard me right.. they wanted to eliminate the votes of our hard working military. How pathetic is this.
