    Brand new laws state that for Wisconsin residents, voting requires an identification card issued by a state bureau. The Wisconsin law, which cost $7 million to implement, is currently in effect. Numerous different organizations have said they will file suit against the case, but none have done so yet. State-issued ID cards for purposes of voting are supposed to be totally free, but state officials are making it hard to get that free registration card.

    So far as I can see, teapartiers in and out of Congress do not stand out for their intelligence or thoughtful analysis. The "party" reps clearly were selected largely for appearance and for sociopathy, a lack of concern for the well being of humans in their power. I would not suggest waiting for any of them to have an attack of conscience.

    First of all, I have no idea who Warrant Buffett "backs" or has backed over the years, and his views on President Obama whatever they may be are really beside the point. Second, Buffett's actual views that are germane are those on the unfairness of a tax code that allows him to pay less as a percentage of his income than his salaried secretary. One would think that this would concern any thinking person, regardless of party. And, it would be rational to think that tea party folk--were they not poisoned with calculated disinformation--would be eager to embrace a billionaire's request to pay his fair share, rather than receive a note like yours that imagines a hypocrisy that is not evident in this article. Third, so count me suprised that you'd rather take pot shots at the president and a billionaire who has spoken out about the shameful truth about the way the tax code helps him and other billionaires rather than you expressing any concern for the billionaire bankrolling expensive tea party motor coaches, like Koch Industries' David Koch who chairs and funds "Americans for Prosperity" with its campaign events in Wisconsin and elsewhere....

    to the best of my knowledge, Warren Buffet is not funding and orchestrating astroturf groups and calling them "grassroots," and the media is not parroting the message.

    And how exactly are the Kock brothers more bothersome than say Warren Buffet? I guess it's because Buffet backs Obama that he's ok? The hypocrisy displayed in posts like yours is astounding!
