You want discriminatory maps, we got plenty here in Texas.

[tomder55]

See you guys call it discriminatory when the Repubics do it ;but it isn't when your side does the same thing.

[speechlesstx]

Payback for the jigsaw puzzle you carved out after the 1990 census. It's just politics like you said.

[talaniman]

Yup!!

Yes sir, our most noble AG is suing Texas again over our Voter ID law. "We don't need no stinkin' checks and balances!" must be the unofficial Obama admin motto.

“Today’s action marks another step forward in the Justice Department’s continuing effort to protect the voting rights of all eligible Americans,” said Attorney General Eric Holder. “We will not allow the Supreme Court’s recent decision to be interpreted as open season for states to pursue measures that suppress voting rights. The Department will take action against jurisdictions that attempt to hinder access to the ballot box, no matter where it occurs. We will keep fighting aggressively to prevent voter disenfranchisement. We are determined to use all available authorities, including remaining sections of the Voting Rights Act, to guard against discrimination and, where appropriate, to ask federal courts to require preclearance of new voting changes. This represents the Department’s latest action to protect voting rights, but it will not be our last.”

In the voter ID lawsuit, the United States’ complaint contends that SB 14 was adopted with the purpose, and will have the result, of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race, color, or membership in a language minority group. The complaint asks the court to prohibit Texas from enforcing the requirements of its law, and also requests that the court order bail-in relief under Section 3 of the Voting Rights Act. If granted, this would subject Texas to a new preclearance requirement.

I just have to ask, why is it so many blacks and Latinos allegedly don't have an ID?

OK, let the wailing and gnashing of teeth begin.

[talaniman]

They do just not the ones the right insists on.

Eric Holder needs to go to jail... The Mafia is more respectable and reputable than he is.

He apparently has absolutely no use for the law... and is one of the biggest racists of this era.

[speechlesstx]

They do just not the ones the right insists on.

Like a driver's license, birth certificate, military ID or most anything else needed to function?

[smoothy]

THis is the kind of things approved of under Obama...


A Department of Homeland Security employee who works on, among other things, the procurement of guns and ammunition for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, spends his nights and weekends preparing for a coming race war and advocating for anti-gay causes, according to a new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center[/b]."

This guy works for the DHS ?

" The content of Kimathi's advocacy demands some clarification. In some (white, conservative) circles, the term "black supremacist" is applied with a very wide brush. Black supremacy was the implication of Maine Governor Paul LePage's reported comments that President Obama "hates white people," for instance. Kimathi's site is not in this vein of this imagined threat — on the contrary, War on the Horizon calls Obama a "a treasonous mulatto scum dweller," and lists him among the movement's enemies (also on the list? Oprah Winfrey, Whoopi Goldberg, and Condoleezza Rice, among others) Instead, the DHS employee advocates for:

The mass murder of white people. His site says, "warfare is eminent, and in order for Black people to survive the 21st century, we are going to have to kill a lot of whites – more than our christian hearts can possibly count."

How's this for voter suppression, the Senate ballot paper is five feet long, what voter can make sense of this nonsense. I guess I'll just have to put 1 above the line and let the rest go to hell, what a waste of a vote

[speechlesstx]

It's come to this... Bill Clinton wagged his finger at the MLK celebration to day and said this:

“But a great democracy does not make it harder to vote than to buy an assault weapon,” he declared.

As katie Pavlich said, "Not only do you have to show ID to buy an 'assault rifle' @billclinton, you have to go through a background check too"

So, should we add a background check to voting?

[talaniman]

You can verify any voter registration you want, so why do republican governors purge the voter rolls before they verify the validity of the voter? Why do voters have to prove they aren't lying about who they are? Why isn't a state issued student ID not good enough?

Why do republicans lose in court when they come up with these shenanigans in the name of voter integrity? How come republicans can find no voter fraud?

How come republicans are paranoid about every damn thing and have nothing good to say about anything? Today is a great day, how come you can't enjoy it, relax, have a beer, take your shoes off.

[speechlesstx]

How come Democrats can't keep from spewing ridiculous nonsense like that?

[smoothy]

Why do Democrats feel they have some right to vote early and vote often... when they are legally entitled to only ONE vote... and then only IF they qualify.

[talaniman]

Great exaggeration but a lousy excuse to be a sourpuss.

[smoothy]

I'd like to know how these legions of so called "poor" people supposedly too poor to get an ID manage to apply for, collect.. and cash benefits... without any ID whatsoever.

[speechlesstx]

Great exaggeration but a lousy excuse to be a sourpuss.

Exactly what Clinton did.

Hey do you realise you just found a plan to fix the budget deficit, just insist on photo ID and you have solved two problems for the price of one, how is it you didn't think of this? I know, specialisation of labour, your depatments don't talk to each other or is it your politicians don't talk to each other

[talaniman]

Go apply for welfare as an expose, you know, like the dufus did with acorn? See if you get food stamps and a Cadillac, and come back and tell us about it.

[paraclete]

Thanks ,but I don't need welfare, and I don't need a Cadillac, a Kia will do
