Capturing a new voter demographic is like gold for a political party. For the politician, it is hard to understate the value of identifying and controlling an untapped voting bloc, a new voter demographic. Senator Obama, for example, is mining 40 million voters, possibly increasing soon to 50 million, who pay no income taxes. Emerging this election cycle is another demographic group. A group, sadly, very sadly, protected, promoted, and propelled by Democrats.
This new demographic is the illegal voting bloc: all those who aid or act in illegal voter activity. They register or vote more than once. They feel empowered to violate election laws—by assisting the violators (ACORN employees); by donating money under multiple false identities; by transporting others to vote (busing homeless to another state); by violating privacy laws (accessing state files for information against a citizen who ask a question); and by proudly stealing candidate campaign signs.
Unfortunately, for America, too many Democrats are unwilling to speak out, unwilling to object. They see this growing demographic as a legitimate constituency, a constituency deserving protection; they support it as an evolving part of their electoral battle plan. Supporting these law violators as core constituents marks a descent for a political party—a pursuit of fool’s gold.
