I do have to admit that I am in full on Troll the Tards mode in the best Fly tradition, although I admit I am but a pale imitation of the real thing.

It's the gift that keeps on giving:

What burns me is that people don't think it is important enough to make time & plan for, this early voting BS is a prime example, if people don't care enough to plan on voting, what makes anyone think they actually have checked out the candidates & issues.. White churches have had their Tax status threatened,
http://www.lifenews.com/2012/09/26/1...om-the-pulpit/

while racist holder and the 1st bitch, instruct black churches how to go take Blacks to the polls and are fighting ending early voting laws..

So if a Catholic church urges people not to support one who's agenda is against their beliefs, they could loser their tax status, but Black churches are urged, by the liberals, to take their followers to the poll.
Course, liberal dems have never followed the rules anyway and black dems get away with murder, cause then called on their corruption, they play the Race card.

I'm sure a decent percentage of conservatives get that arbitrarily increasing type II errors won't magically reduce type I....but it's obv very easy to get the bottom 20% mouth breather types worked up over it.

We're having problems counting the vote now. If we checked every ballot carefully we would be lucky to get accurate returns within a week.

Vote by mail periods are usually about a month long so there's plenty of time for people to send them in. It's not like they all come in on the last day.

"don't have the sense to pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel" is a pretty sick burn though.
10-01-2012 , 11:17 AM
Why would you piss in a boot?

This is not an unusual complaint. I've had someone tell me in person about how prior to the end of Sunday early voting black churches would bus their whole congregation over to a precinct and hand out a ticket of who to vote for!!
Like they explained it like it was self-evidently a problem that ending voting on Sundays would solve. Like, they just get a ticket!

DVaut's right, man, there's some ****ed up association involving black people and buses that really activates the anger bears.

Turns out she was working for the Nathan Sproul Strategic Allied Consulting outfit...

---- Dude is a piece of work. If you go down the well on that story it goes everywhere. The Ron Paul folks were heavily bitching about that guy as recently as the AZ primaries. Almost exact same allegations in 2010, 2008, and 2004, heh.
Grunch -
What further proof do you need to know the Republican Party is corrupt, hypocritical and just full of crap?!!

Its not like Sproul is someone who hoodwinked the Republican Party by commiting election fraud. They were well aware of him being caught doing so in the past and--
Quote:
Reports from the Federal Election Commission show that Sproul’s other company, Lincoln Strategy Group, has been paid more than $80,000 by the Romney campaign to help register voters between November 2011 and March 2012 during the GOP primary season.

Sproul told the Times he formed Strategic Allied Consulting at the request of the RNC for publicity’s sake, given past negative media coverage of Lincoln stemming from past allegations going back to 2004, when employees in Nevada and Oregon signed up Democrats but threw out their forms instead of turning them in.
Sproul has also been linked to signature fraud this election cycle in his home state of Arizona where he was working on a ballot initiative that would allow the state to nullify any federal laws it finds to be unconstitutional.
The RNC asks him to change the name of his company because of all the fraud associated with the name before.

If anyone doesn't think that they expected him to do this and are just throwing him under the bus now that they've been caught then I've got a real nice bridge to sell you.

We already saw ITT in the last 24 hours an anger bear real mad about the lack of voter IDs because...some black people fraudulently voted absentee, which isn't rectified at all by voter IDs, then hit all the major anger points about DEMOCRATS DID JIM CROW. Like I said, at some point, you have to guess that *part* of the anger-bearin' ain't got **** to do with elections, that the right's anger-bearin' always manifests itself about bus loads full of blacks is awfully ****ing odd, and after a while you're kind of forced to conclude at least part of what's rustling their jimmies is blacks on the roam and traveling together in groups. Always lol-mad at how the liberal intelligentsia "instruct black churches how to go take Blacks to the polls," I mean THAT'S the big concern here, the movement of it all. Why do liberals have to get all uppity and show the blacks how to get together and travel places? Sheesh, aren't they causing enough problems!??! Those sneaky liberal eggheads wait for the blacks to get together in a group and aw ****, now you're telling them to get up and on the move to boot?

The right wing would never go for this. Hell, they'd wouldn't go for it if it was posthumous.

We did an event the other day were about a dozen Republicans signed up to vote or change their address. Like I give a **** lol

They sometimes find where we're at and send a bunch of folks to register thinking we'll just pack up and head out if a ton of GOPers come up and register but they're so obvious about it it's ridiculous. Like yeah, I'm at this run down hispanic market but 10 republicans just showed up 1 by 1 minutes after eachother and never went into the store... you got me! This is a bad area, better leave! You can't have possibly been already registered and your entire exercise meaningless but oh boy did you show us!

Non-citizens can totally enlist and be in the US military. Enlistees have to be legal immigrants, but you don't have to be a citizen. It's actually a not-uncommon path for young immigrants to GET citizenship, because the military offers special provisions once you hit some minimum service requirements to fast-track non-citizen military members applications for citizenship.

And regarding immigrants legal status, I think there's also rumors that recruiters will wink-wink nod-nod immigrants of questionable legal status and get them in, in a pinch. I'd leave to people with actual experience recruiting how much play in the joints there are to get illegal immigrants enlisted.

I'm okay with having non citizens but that story said he was a marine in Vietnam or something and still not a citizen. Maybe he didn't care to try or something but I'm glad to hear they can help get you fast tracked. It only seems right to either make them citizens or help them get it fairly easily.

A. Should they ignore (after all it's only 40 and we only believe there were 10 cases ever)
B. Verify they have the right to vote.
C. See which ones vote and open a criminal investigation.

I take it your both against using the federal data base to purge voting rolls as well?
How about in order to prevent someone from voting you have to prove they're ineligible, instead of them having to prove they are? You know 'innocent until proven guilty'.

I mean just for once it would be nice to see someone on the right actually stand up for a basic principle the goddamn United States was founded upon.

Um, they stand up for Christianity all the time.

LOL So we use a criminal principle and try to apply it a civil situtation and act like it has some historic support for the situation. But the voting principle the US was founded on was to show you owned land is that what you want to go back to?
10-01-2012 , 01:24 PM
Voting when you're not eligible is clearly a criminal situation.
