Democrats are scrambling to rewrite their anti-voter identification stance as states across the country implement new voter integrity measures that are popular with the American public.
After previously stating a new voter identification law in Georgia was "Jim Crow 2.0," failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams is changing her tune and Republican Congressman Burgess Owens is holding her accountable for it.
Democrat Congressman Jim Clyburn has attempted to do the same, but he isn't getting away with it.
Even the Washington Post is giving the Congressman four pinnochios for the claim.

Clyburn is trying to have his cake and eat it, too. He routinely decries “voter ID” laws, but at the same time he insisted on Fox News that he has never opposed such laws — and that every Democrat has supported them. In reality, he appears to be against many types of voter ID laws — ones that require photos, or a fee for a photo or which favor one voting group over another.

In other words, he’s playing word games. He supposedly is for voter identification but against most of the voter ID laws being adopted by states. Perhaps his contradictory response may be related to the broad support photo ID requirements have in public polling. He appears to want people to think he agrees with the majority even when he is fighting against such laws.

As I just finished writing in another thread, Clyburn and most of the rest of these people on both sides can not, will not admit what they have said if they think being truthful will hurt their party. They know, they should know, that we know they are lying but they simply do not care. Its quite stunning to witness.

Wouldn't it be great if we could all just admit this and debate nothing but policy? Not what this one said that was a lie or what that one said that was a lie, but what are you going to do about X,Y and Z.

I guess that is to much to ask of a politician. I wish it wasn't to much to ask of the posters on this board.

How often do we debate a policy and not a person and all the sins of a particular party?

It's a damn shame.
