[QUOTE=Esten; 426034]Here is the story about Sidney. A nice guy, a good friend to mongers, but also the biggest ranter against "Obamanation" this board ever saw. How else did his post count get so high? Be prepared to be inundated with right wing nonsense if he returns to his old ways.

His "history lesson" is a copy and paste from the right wing blogosphere. It has a simple rebuttal. The financial "greed is good" house of cards was built between 2001-2006 when Republicans controlled every branch of the federal government. All that was left was for it to come crashing down, regardless of who was in power afterwards.

Sidney, oddly enough I can't find a peep about this on google. Please provide a credible link! Or be known as just another Republican peddling deception.[/QUOTE]

I say again Watch your past history on HBO's Newsroom. They report the truth that happened and You Missed.

"Rights for All Americans!"

The Democrat Party has demonstrated again they are just a pack of hypocrites.

You can not enter the vaulted chambers of the Democrat National Convention without a government issued photo I.D., but when it comes to voting they fight tooth and nail against any effort to institute voter I.D. laws.

Well in the Democrat's minds I am sure they believe their convention is much more important than merely voting for the president, congress and the senate.

What a joke, Bill Clinton having to go to bat for Obama. Isn't this the same Bill Clinton who said Obama should be carrying Hillary and his bags back in 2008? Obama would probably have dicked that up too.

[QUOTE=WorldTravel69;426041]33 states say if you do not have drivers license or passport you can not Vote, under the New Republican Laws.[/QUOTE]You conveniently forgot to include a state-issued ID card in your list, which may be obtained at any DMV in the country merely by demonstrating that you are a resident of the state, and without taking any sort of driving test.

Here's what's pathetic about all of this: It's the idea that there are groups of individuals in this country who apparently can't function in society with the same tools that are available to the rest of us, specifically the ability to go to a DMV and get a photo ID.

[QUOTE=WorldTravel69; 426041]"Rights for All Americans!"[/QUOTE]That's the problem. Not everybody lining up to vote in our elections is actually an American citizen, although a lot of them are undocumented Democrats.

Thanks,

No, I did not conveniently forget it, but I did forget to mention it.

The problem for some people that don't drive is getting there to get one. Especially in the some of our countries small towns.

Yes, it is a fantasy TV Show, but the news they use really happened. They show a lot of our political fuck ups.

In case you missed Bill Clinton's speech last night here it is.

So, why is it that these "undocumented voters" can't find a way to get to the DMV and get an ID card [b]like everybody else[/b]!

New story just surfaced regarding Axelrod and Gallop Polls. When a Gallop poll back in April 2012 showed Romney leading Obama by about 5 percentage points, Axelrod called the folks at Gallop wanting them to come to the White House to explain their polling methodology. Axelrod alleged their polling methodology was flawed. The Gallop folks felt this was a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate them.

The folks at Gallop declined the invitation / demand to appear at the White House and explain how they arrived at the numbers but did invite Axelrod and any White House representatives to come over to Gallop's offices to discuss the matter but no one accepted the invitation.

The folks at Gallop also did not change the numbers as Axelrod wanted.

Guess what happened next?

All of a sudden the Justice Department got interested in a whistle blower lawsuit filed in 2009 by a former Gallop employee with the DOJ filing a brief in support of the whistle blower.

My what a coincidence!

Sound a bit like Chicago Politics to you?

Since 1961, 52 years, the Republicans have been in office 28 years.

The Democrats have been in 24 years.

66 millions private sector jobs were created.

Pay closed attention now!

The Republicans created 24 million jobs.

And.

The Democrats created [b]42 Million Jobs. [/b]

P.S.

Of all the Countries with Health Care Coverage, not one of them is trying to get rid of it..

Not so for voting booths. The argument here is voter fraud. That sounds like a good reason, if voter fraud was really a problem. But it hasn't been.

So what's the reason this is happening now, in the run-up to a very important election for Republicans? We all know the answer.

Nothing personal here, but the color for the Republicans is funeral black in November. The debates may cause a swing, but that is not "charismatic" Romney's forte. How will Ryan / Biden play out? They are only a sideshow. The Republican problem is their candidates. Toyman for President in 2016!
