When we finally get in place ways to keep people from voting multiple times, Democrats won't win another election.

A wannabe mod plays hall monitor on threads.
Even threads openly stated would be unmoderated.
Stinky, your aggravations here mean less than nothing to me.
Dog is 20 times the poster you are, no joke.

This thread is not unmoderated. The recent temporary lock on it should have reminded you of that. The mods just give a lot more slack than they do everywhere else.
Click to expand...

It was locked because posters were using it as a Fight Club and not a place where Fight Club was incidental to discussing politics.
I care not about what sort of "reputation" it has on this board.
It's a place to spout off and blow off steam.
It has close to half a mil page views in nine months so some folks must like it.
Good for business.
All this said, you had three or four fuckwads (I can name them if wish - they are the same parasites who create problems throughout the site) repeatedly breaking outing rules.
That went on unchecked for months.
Assholes bringing up aspects of our real lives, etc.
I above all respect what these mods have to put up with from us.
I don't respect a jerk who doesn't have moderator powers and still starts ordering posters around. Fuck that guy.

A----men.
The real stupidity with that kind of behavior is that it ignores the better part of one's self-identity - and if they ever get a grip on that, they can go to work in Premier Obama's new IRS army. Or the gay army. And set the rest of us straight or in FEMA camps.

As I said, fart boy, it is not unmoderated. It just allows more slack than the rest of the board. None of what you says counters that point. Please learn to admit when you are wrong. It happens so often, you should be used to it by now.

Funny you should mouth off as it was almost wholly you who got it locked the last time.
As I was saying, we lost a few smart, interesting, funny posters on this thread.
And we get you, Inky and Rice to pick up the slack.
That's what they call diminishing returns in production theory.
You're dismissed.
Click to expand...

Please, fart boy, stop lying for once.

You blamed people for breaking outing rules, which I've never done. Then you want to blame me. Truth is, you play as large of a role as anybody in the problems on this thread and you can't stand having me point out that you were wrong, yet again.

Dude, quit feeding YAITU. Or, at least, quit quoting him so I don't have to see his idiocy. He makes OT and DEDW look like Buckley.

The great part of this is you aren't even trolling. You actually believe this happened in enormous numbers, enough to turn the election.

This should turn out well.

Inky Snitch ... the fucking loser who jumps up and down 10 times and says he's ignoring me, and still mentions me every day.
I have a very easy way of not reading your low-protein posts, Dinky.
I simply engage the scroll wheel and zoom downward.
No button necessary.

Penalty of perjury? Amy, I won't hold my breath on that ever being carried out on the same type of people we can't seem to prosecute for violating immigration law in the first place.

And as I already said, the Court's decision recognizes that if Arizona can show that this provision is not sufficient and that further documentation is needed to ensure only citizens are registering, the State will be successful in getting this requirement added to the federal form. Your concerns can be addressed.

So you agree with this take on it?

Yes, I see no cause for celebration on the left or reason for gnashing of teeth on the right. The Court has provided a roadmap on how to get the documentation requirement included in the future should Arizona (or any other state) wish to follow that path.

Speaking of Arizona, the governor expanded Medicaid coverage today.

Adventures in rent-control, S.F. edition ...

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/07/opinion/king-of-my-castle-yeah-right.html?_r=2&

Background of the story is that, after some Pacific Heights shenanigans, property-owner got hooked up with a tenant law specialist and got rid of psycho-tenant. Absolutely insane part of the story is this:

A few days later, I happened to receive a call from the city about our property-tax appraisal. Among the questions: was anyone renting our downstairs?

Not right now, I said.

Well, the clerk explained, because of the city’s troublesome rental laws, a tenant-free property is much more valuable.

A check of comparable recent sales in our neighborhood, in fact, shows that empty buildings are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars more than those with tenants, and with the current housing-price boom, that profit margin (on paper, anyway) increases each month.

There are still some Republicans who won't let the birther thing go:
