    NO NO NO. Don't you understand? Voter suppression is a MYTH. Especially on the part of Democrats/Liberals/Minorities.

    Its all a big Republican lie. :rolleyes:

    Funny thing is I can picture you actually typing that with a straight face. Voter suppression is a much bigger "boogieman". Of course when it actually happens like with the black Panthers in Philly, our worst AG in the history of this country just looks the other way. It must be truly sad to be liberal and buy everything the media spits out. Truly sad.

    Yeah, I do, but Obama is nowhere close to socialist. He hasn't done anything socialist at all.

    I'm not sad at all. Frankly if you're being serious and not trolling- I find it occasionally reassuring to read an ignorant rant like the kind that you frequently grace us with. It's gratifying in a way that, although your underlying lack of valid information and consequent dwelling in an alternate reality is probably burdensome for your family and friends, it adds that much more security to those of us who are your betters. One less rat to worry about in the rat race.

    I guess its worrisome that you possess the franchise at all but why eve bother with things like that....? I ain't even mad.....

    Funny thing is anyone who has an opposing view is a "troll" around here. Yes, it is true that Libtards outnumber intelligent people by about 10 to 1 in this forum. There is absolutely no doubt about that.The Libtard dogpiles on conservative posters are truly shameful. Thankfully American demographics do not reflect Clutchfans demographics politically. You can keep fooling yourself and buy everything the Liberal media sells you hook,line and sinker or...... you can search the facts and find the truth yourself. I am not blind to the bias in Fox news. I search for the truth myself. You should try it some time.

    This voting scheme by the Republicans of long lines deliberatly created by the pols in power makes us look like a banana republic. Of course so do other legacies of their policies--decaying bridges/ infrastructure, a smaller and smaller percentage of very rich in guarded communities etc.

    The odd thing is the Republican supporters here are completely ignoring statements by Republicans who put the laws in place, that it was done to keep Democrats from voting and help the Republican candidate.

    Well,, son, giving you the benefit that this actual not feigned naivete on your part, here's a start.

    There are figures that show which precincts vote in which percentage for which party. There are also figures showing how many voters vote in each precinct.

    Actual people decide how to apportion voting machines to each precinct.

    Let me know if you need more detail to figure out how someone could manage.

    Your welcome, in advance.

    Republicans do want to suppress voter turnout and make it as difficult as possible to vote. The reason being that the Republicans believe their supporters will vote regardless. The last thing the Republicans want are minority and low income voters at the polls.

    Democrats want to ever expand voting days and hours because they believe they will get more votes, including those that otherwise would not vote.

    It isn't that the Republicans are evil or Democrats angels, it is a matter of politics. For you to think otherwise is obtuse.

    It's okay. I know you will need excuses after tomorrow. Instead of admitting the truth you will be crying suppression. How do you feel about the only ACTUAL evidence of voter suppression we have LINK .

    The evidence was spoken by Republicans themselves who instituted the policies. There quotes and video are all over this thread.

    Two guys at a poll may not even be real voter suppression, and even it was, it certainly isn't anywhere close to the level of govt. officials who've admitted they've done it, instituting it as official policy.

    Obama said the debt would be cut in half in his first time. Why has that not happened? Answer the question blade.

    Any quote can be taken out of context. There is video evidence of Bigfoot and UFO's too. I guess you believe in that too?

    Standing in front of a poll with a billy club is not trying to "suppress" voters???? Okay. What if they had been standing in front of the poll in a white sheet and a hood? I guess then they would be trying to suppress the vote?

    I disagree with Franchise on EVERYTHING but I do not believe he would do something like that. Besides he lives in Cali not Philly.;)

    Any number of reasons. There's no doubt Obama was wrong about that. The main reason would be Republican obstructionism.

    The bigfoot and UFO things are fake.

    If you'd care to explain the context of the video and quotes by Republicans already listed, I'm more the willing to listen to your explanation.

    The Stimulus isn't a fault of anyone. It was a great thing. It also isn't the biggest part of the deficit.
