FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

The GOP has been waging a four-year fight to make sure black people and Mexicans don't vote.

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

Why wouldn't they? Most black people and Mexicans aren't voting Republican, so why would the GOP want them voting?

And there have never been instances where Democrats paid people to vote, or had someone vote posing as someone else (including, but not limited to dead people). I'm sure that all never happens.

Do you have an example of it happening lately?

In California, regulators have been trying for weeks to get the names behind a shadowy group from Arizona that just contributed $11 million to the campaign for Proposition 32, which would destroy unions' ability to contribute to political campaigns but keep intact the ability of businesses to do so. The law says money coming in from out of state needs to be identified by donor. Americans for Responsible Leadership has fought the effort in court, then it gave some basic information, and now it turns out the trail hops from one PAC in Virginia to one in Arizona to another in Arizona, and what they didn't want you to see is it comes from ...

... wait for it ...

"Campaign money laundering," the Fair Political Practices Commission calls it.

Because it's the bedrock of a free society?

I waited an hour and five minutes to vote today in my decidedly non-swing state.

I'm glad I did and I voted for Obama.

Sometimes you're just too easy, dumbshit.

PINE KNOLL SHORES — The N.C. Board of Elections has determined that a controversial Facebook post by Pine Knoll Shores resident Jim Turner that went viral is not evidence of voter fraud.
In fact, according to the County Board of Elections, Mr. Turner hasn't even voted once yet, let alone four times as his comment states.
Mr. Turner on Friday stated on Facebook that he had voted multiple times in favor of President Barack Obama.
The post was apparently intended as a joke – one of the towns he mentions voting in doesn’t even have a one-stop site. And according to election records, there are two people in Pine Knoll Shores named James Turner and neither of them had voted during the one-stop period.
But the post was taken seriously by some and according to news reports Mr. Turner has received threats over the comment.

Notice it doesn't say the posting is not legit.

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

"The posting was apparently intended as a joke." That addresses the posting's legitimacy. I understand reading iz hard but you have to try.

Also don't change my posts to make it look something I didn't say. Go be your own racist self without involving me.

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

You're giving them too much credit

 

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

Hopefully enough people will remember this when they go out and vote tomorrow.
