should do so with an absentee ballot from their home state.

Local students could use their state ID card or drivers license. We don't need people from elsewhere deciding who our local office holders will be or double-voting in national elections.

That's what kids do. I just want them to vote in their own elections and vote only once in national elections. Doesn't seem like too much to ask.

The only people who will be denied the opportunity to vote will be those who are ineligible to vote. The only people who oppose that idea are people who cheat.

Posted on 08/16/12 at 12:05 pm in response to Pawlenty claim about Obama Medicare 'cuts' deemed 'misleading'

can be cut from Medicare and not have any affect on benefits, then Medicare is way over-budgeted. But of course, we've never heard that argument from Obama and the democrats.

Obama's $700 billion cut from Medicare providers will cause more doctors to refuse new Medicare patients due to the low reimbursement rates. So just as millions of baby boomers are getting ready to retire there will be fewer doctors who will be willing to take them on as patients. And all so Obama could fund...

that the words "fresh" and "Nolan" appear in the same sentence. The guy and his ideas are as stale as last week's bread.

Posted on 08/15/12 at 08:52 am in response to Technology could supplant voter IDs at polls, but registration problems remain

"Upon arrival, voters give their names and addresses" - That's what they do now. That's not verification.

"... digital list that lets poll workers retrieve and verify a voter’s name, address, birth date and political party." - Why is party affiliation part of the record? Why is that relevant? It seems to me that a database field of "political party" is too convenient for those who want to delete selected records for nefarious reasons.

"Poll workers can immediately fix or...

Posted on 08/14/12 at 12:35 pm in response to The STEM work force: An imperative for America’s future

The video game industry is a "$25 billion industry, which employs more than 80,000 people." And yet none of those people were trained by an initiative from the federal government and none of that $25 billion is taxpayer money.

or they would have mentioned Mark Ritchie's relationship with George Soros and leftist plot known as the Secretary of State Project ...("a development that could benefit Barack Obama if any of those states are closely contested on Election Day.")

Posted on 08/13/12 at 08:43 pm in response to St. Paul Mayor Coleman's budget would add cops, raise tax levy 1.9%

have tripled since Chris Coleman became mayor. Tripled. There are more homes for sale on Summit Avenue than at any time in memory. Why? Because even rich people can't afford to pay these outrageous property taxes anymore. And why should they? Anyone who can afford to spend a lot of money for a home will choose North Oaks or Minnetonka or elsewhere and get more property with less taxes than they would get in Saint Paul and any realtor would agree.

Coleman's town will eventually...
