    Hello again,

    I see that COPS voting FRAUDULENTLY didn't get any traction on the other thread... So, I thought I would bring it up again..

    What?? It's not important when the right wing does it??

    Your presumption that the cops are right wing has no basis in the facts . But to register fraudulently is a criminal offense . No doubt those cops will be charged . Few others will .

    That's because one, the subject was the new left wing narrative of a mythical Internet gun loophole and two, it's a hell of an assumption to say all those cops are right wingers, and three, fraud is fraud and if that's fraud it needs to be dealt with no matter the political persuasion of the individual. How's that for fair?

    Hello again,

    Some Texas Republicans very open about disliking non-white voting

    In May, Texas tea party leader Ken Emanuelson said this at a Dallas County Republican Party event:
    Quote:

    I'm going to be real honest with you. The Republican Party doesn't want black people to vote if they are going to vote 9-to-1 for Democrats."
    In June, north Texas Rep. Kenny Marchant made a statement that went little noticed in the media. Explaining why he opposes immigration reform, he told the AP:
    Quote:

    The proposed immigration overhaul "is very unpopular in my district," said Marchant, who represents suburbs west of Dallas. "The Republican primary voters, they're being pretty vocal with me on this subject." Besides, he said, "if you give the legal right to vote to 10 Hispanics in my district, seven to eight of them are going to vote Democrat."
    But, there's something shiny over here.. (Thank you Steve, for that quip)

    OK, so. I'm not exactly sure how acknowledging the truth is a scandal. That would be akin to one of yours admitting they don't give a crap about women, minorities and illegals, they just want voters. And yet that's the truth.

    Forget it Speech, I doubt you can divide and conquer to win over the very ones you oppress, blame, and continue to throw rocks at.

    You guys will lose, with the stuff you use.

    I wonder if there is a way for the Republicans to win them over.

    I'd rather lose than be a part of the sham that is the Democratic Party. I don't have it in me to create a society of slaves and dependents while telling them I'm on their side.

    No, let's not talk about what THEY do, but let's talk about what REPUBLICANS can do to improve the situation.

    The Republicans don't control the White house or the Senate... thats why we need to talk about the Democrats and what they aren't doing to change things for the better.


    And to the topic... you can't even vote most countries without a legal government issued ID to prove you are elligible and who you claim.

    You can't even file for welfare without an ID... so if they have welfare... they have an ID.. and thus have an ID to use to vote... Same with Food Stamps... you don't get any of those without an ID to prove who you are.

    It has nothing to do with control. Talk is cheap. What are the Republicans in every village and city doing?

    How does talking about them change anything? It doesn't. It just makes the Republicans look grumpy and ineffective, like a bunch of fishwives.

    If you are unaware of what your own state is doing to SUPPRESS the black vote, then I AIN'T going to tell you.

    Ok, I'll mention this. Not two hours after SCOTUS struck down the Voting Rights Act, your state put into effect a redistricting plan that was RULED on by a federal court to be RACIST, and Unconstitutional. It clearly SUPPRESSES the vote...

    You DID know about this, didn't you? You just don't want to discuss it. I don't know why. Whacha hiding? It's cause you know you're WRONG, don't you?

    Actually the next governor of the great state of Texas declared voter ID and redistricting that was already passed would take effect and the state would start issuing free IDs.
