But take a look at each issue, the voting one for example, the new laws make it a little harder to vote for who? The poor, which happens to have their fair share of minorities. And who do they typically vote for democrats, and who brought these laws forward? Republicans, why? Not to keep voter roles clean as much as they want that to be the reason, it's to try and give them a little better edge at election time, or to pander to their base as it is with other issues (that is my opinion, and I'm sure everyone else has a different one). The other side can be guilty of it as well, many point to the president's redirection of resources on sending back the illegals, which I'm surprised that wasn't already a thread onto itself.
There has been not one ounce of compromise since 2010 and only before because the republicans didn't hold the majority but had enough vote especially in the senate to filibuster.
Only when we elect people who serve all of us and not a particular side is when we get this mess straightened out.

Melvin are you talking about ID to vote? How do the poor get their assistance if they do not have an ID? To me that is common sense, assistance=ID vote as a legal citizen you must have ID.
This administration has not united the Black, White, Hispanic, Indian and Asian people like promised but has more or less tried to create more divide and feed that division to further his agenda and campaign.
Jon, I know I have mentioned before how some of those on assistance get around having id's in poor neighborhoods there is going to be a store that will cash their check, help them out, those neighborhoods in my opinion are going to be tight, and work with each other. As for getting the assistance, couldn't they have just brought in the SS card or birth certificate?
I don't have to show id I show my voters registration card. Like we have discussed before, the cases of voters fraud really AND THIS IS MY OPINON hasn't justified the cost and the legislation of these items.
Where were the jobs? I can agree to a point that this administration could have done a better job at uniting everyone, but with all the kool-aid drinkers on the right, who don't even believe the man was born in the US did it really matter? There are two sides working on the dividing, I know you all will think I'm full of it, but if the republicans hadn't come up with the anti immigration laws, the voter id laws, and other legislation aimed at it seems AND THIS IS MY OPINION AGAIN, at those people, the president wouldn't have had to work around existing laws they way he did. Heck he's deported more illegals the President Bush did......all he was doing was redirecting the resources.
I will certainly put blame where it belongs, and both sides are to blame......but some of you will not accept your part of the blame as well. It is both sides not working together, and that goes for us stupid voters as well.
