Craziest thread of the day.
I live in an affluent majority AA neighborhood, and we have a neighborhood watch. Are we all going to start killing each other now? |
No but you now in the Klan.

David Duke would have a much different time in todays Republican Party. |
| The klan? Lol. |
Um, no we don't. Voter suppression is always wrong. The New Black Panther thing that Faux-watchers keep yapping about, however, was an isolated incident at one or two polling places. If it happened at all--I haven't read up on it to determine whether it's not just another made-up issue in the right-wing echo chamber. The voter suppression problem in this country, however, is not with the New Black Panthers. It's with the Republican Party. Suppressing the vote has become a plank in y'all's platform. State after state after state, trying to preserve your position by keeping people from voting. There's one party trying to keep people from voting in this country, and it's not exactly dominated by liberals. |
It doesn't matter if it was isolated or not - it was still passed over by liberals by being non-threatening behavior. Even Jeff, your vaunted leader on this site, has stated that he felt no one felt threatened. It's on video. Unless the right wing staged the video, it happened. You have no idea this actually happened? Really? Republicans are not trying to suppress the vote; we are looking for a fair vote, y'know, one in which liberals don't vote six times, bus in those that should not be voting in certain precincts, and allowing illegals to vote. I know that's considered suppressing the vote to liberals, but hell, that's not surprising either. |
Republicans have TOLD us they are trying to suppress the vote. Told us. |

Yep, it's all about voter suppression
Can you think of any other reasons why early voting shouldn't happen? You can't see openings for corruption? |
I can speculate about anything. But I have to take the party at its word regarding its intentions. Also, when they specifically eliminated early voting on the Sunday before election day, while maintaining other early voting, it was clearly to thwart the "Souls to the Polls" campaign. |
| Too much early voting allows for more fraud. College kids voting at home and at college, for example. |
Yeah, because the right wing has never staged a video before. The liberals voting six times? Never happened. Busing in ineligible voters? Never happened. You know who studied this, for five years, looking for evidence of voter fraud like you're describing? THE GEORGE W. BUSH ADMINISTRATION. You know what they found? NOTHING. NOT ONE DOCUMENTED INSTANCE OF VOTER FRAUD BY IMPERSONATION. NOT ONE. And it would make no sense. To swing an election, it would have to be coordinated, done thousands upon thousands of times in every battleground state. But you know what is systematic, and capable of swinging elections? The voter suppression efforts being conducted right out in the open by Republican legislators in Texas, SC, NC, PA, IN, and OH. They know that more people voting is bad for them, so they are working to stop it from happening. And explaining in the open that that's what they're doing. Remember the Pennsylvania Republican leader last election? He didn't say Pennsylvania's voter suppression law was going to stop fraud. He said it was going to deliver Pennsylvania for Romney. But you go ahead, and keep on propagating (or even believing) Faux News' lies. |

How about the woman in Ohio? The poll worker who voted multiple times and was recently convicted.
Fraud is very difficult to uncover because it is FRAUD. Don't you think more people cheat on income tax than get convicted? |
| No voter fraud. Sure. Just like all waiters and hair stylists report all their tips............Love the manicurists who only take tips in cash. |

Don't believe me, believe the Bush DOJ.
Or just keep on imagining things. For the latter, there's nothing we can do for you. There's no sense arguing with people who make up their own facts. |
