How can ANYONE condone the suppression of people who are less fortunate than the suppressors? Or condone deliberate lies and misinformation all in the name of Party unity? Doesn’t the Bible teach that we should help those less fortunate than ourselves? How can these suppressors go to Church, proudly proclaim that they are good, upstanding Christians, all the while trampling on the very teachings they profess to uphold. How can they look in the eyes of their children, and explain to them that Bible lessons don’t really apply to politics or the constitutional rights of the poor,the minorities, or anyone who doesn’t live the “proper” lifestyle, as they define it? SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR HOUSE!!!

I missed that part about the birth certificate thing and the traveling…and the burned hospital…and the multiple trips of 150 miles.

Cons continually make absurd claims about the Constitution. I believe ‘unconstitutional’ is their second most used word. Of course 99.9% of the time cons claims are wrong, but that’s another story. The point being that whenever anything happens that cons don’t like, “That’s unconstitutional!”, comes flying out of their mouths. Cons have a legitimate opportunity to chant, “That’s unconstitutional”, here. The silence is deafening. Where is the outrage for the unconstitutional voter ID laws that deny Americans their right to vote?

Buying beer is a privilege. Driving is a privilege. Voting is a Constitutional right. Not a privilege. Nowhere in the Constitution is there a state-issued ID requirement for voting. (How many times have we heard something like that come out of a cons mouth?)

Ten cases of voter impersonation fraud in 12 years. Voter ID is a solution trying to manufacture a problem. Absentee voting is a much more likely way to commit fraud. No ID required for that! Curious. Maybe because repubs like that method of voting better?

The problem is that the repub platform is so full of hate, xenophobia, misogyny, jingoism, and bigotry that most Americans are turned away by it. Repubs believe they cannot win a fair election, hence the imaginary problem of voter fraud. However, make no mistake about it, there is voter fraud. It’s the fraud repubs are perpetrating on the American people by illegally purging the voter rolls.

Count on it. But people in this state are so in love with the republican party that it is all they care about. Especially in the Victoria area. I’ll bet you that 90% don’t even know what the republican party stands for. They won’t even bother to find out, they’ll just vote.

Not only that he’s a coward…..He was the only one that was ready to challenge Willard’s Mormanism in the primary debates, but then backed off in a big way.
