Comments on: Florida Law May Disenfranchise New Voters

Strict Rules Aimed At Preventing Fraud May Keep Recently Registered Voters From Casting Ballots

[willymack]

From a supporter of Carter and Mondale.

`Barack Obama is an immensely talented man whose talents have been largely devoted to crafting, and chronicling, his own life. Not things. Not ideas. Not
institutions. But himself. There is nothing wrong or even terribly odd about that, except that he is laying
claim to the job of crafting the coming history of the United States. A leap of such audacity is odd. The air of unease at the Democratic convention was not just a result of the Clinton psychodrama. The deeper anxiety was that the party was nominating a man of many gifts but precious few accomplishments -- bearing even fewer witnesses

[unccivil]

Again from snopes. It is true that at a democratic affair, Senator Hillary Clinton, Governor Richardson, and Ann Harkin on stage, all placed their hand over their heart while the national anthem was played. Barack Obama, placed both of his hands over his private parts in a stance known in the military as a fig leaf pose, or what could be interpreted as a sign of disrespect but may well have been simple ignorance of American traditions.
********************************************
Typical right-wingers..."Again from Snopes"...unless Snopes doesn''t know the difference between "Ann" Harkin and "Ruth" Harkin, I would have to say that this is the poster''s misrepresentation of the facts which can be found here:

Again from snopes:

Obama went on to tell his audience that the Kennedys, Jack and Bobby, decided to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over so that they could be educated and learn all about America. His grandfather heard that call and sent his son, Barrack Obama, Sr. to America.

%u201CThe problem with that scenario is that having been born in August 1961, the future senator was not conceived until sometime in November 1960. So if his African grandfather heard Kennedy%u2019s words that sent %u201C a shout across oceans%u201D, inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to American, it was not Democrat Jack Kennedy he heard, or this brother Bobby, it was Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower%u201D.

Direct quotes from Snopes on the man you want to be the next president.

%u201CObama told his audience that, because some folks had the courage to %u201Cmarch across a bridge%u201D in Selma Alabama, his mother, a white women from Kansas and his father, a black Muslim from Africa, took heart. It gave them the courage to get married and have a child. The problem with that characterization is that Barack Obama Jr. was born on August 4, 1961, while the first of three marches across that bridge in Selma didn%u2019t occur until March 7,1965, at least five years after Obama%u2019s parents met.%u201D

Conclusion, Obama is a liar inventing himself, creating powerful, moving, images that simply are totally untrue. Snipes calls them anachronisms but people with plain old Common sense calls them out and out lies exposed by facts to the contrary.

Archie......talk about incestual politics.

I admit that when faced with the potential of having a racist for a president, with a raciist wife, I tend to be reactionary in presenting the truth with sarcasm and a bit of anger.

How did you make it through the last 8 years then? Although, I don''t think Laura is racist so that must have healed your "pain" some.

[credibility2]

This isn''t an issue of race and those trying to make it one are desperate and ignorant. There''s a thing called laws, policies and procedures. Just because some don''t agree with them or refuse to abide by them doesn''t automatically entitle them to change it to suit their own extremist and radical means. Change the laws, policies and procedures orderly and within the confines of law. Any time the word disenfranchisement is used by some it is used as code for the charge of racism. Unfortunately, those bandying about the word are bigots and ignoramuses and racist themselves.

[walt1944-2009]

This sounds a lot like the beginning of a dictatorship to me, with the government "saying" that we all have the right to vote, EXCEPT!!! And the list of EXCEPTIONS IS GROWING!!!

Pretty soon, they will be allowing only those who make above a certain income and have a certain party affliation, the right to vote.

I don''t think this is what the founders of this country had in mind, but, as the neocons Fascist Nazi Republicans think, who cares about what people who have been dead for 200 years thought!!!

SIG HEIL, I WANT MORE OF YOUR MONEY!!, BUSH!!!!
sig heil, HE JUST DOESN''T UNDERSTAND, ACT II TONIGHT!!!, McBush!!!
sig heil, MARRIAGE IS A SACRED INSTITUTION BETWEEN 2 UNWILLING TEENAGERS!!!, Palin!!!

No rich willymack, with an education that has given me a 150 years of wisdom, and the knowledge that a black racists is just a dangerous as a white one.

[gracianp]

Purging voters from Democratic districts, deceptive flyers to Democratic voters telling them to vote on a date following the date of the real election, calls in the middle of the night claiming they are calling on behalf of a Democrat, ads of doom if voters do not vote Republican, software that changes votes internally, changing of the vote totals at the central tabulators, crooked election boards, Secretaries of State that also wear hats for the Republican party, crooked "judges" installed by Alberto Gonzales- these are all the ways Republicans use to shred our votes and install their dictator.
And we are suffering the consequences now and will continue if they "win".

It is amazing how the white wingers hate everything America ever stood for.

Homeless guy: "Did you vote today?"

Other homeless guy: "Where do you think I got this bucket of fried chicken and quart of Colt 45? They told me to just look for the name that started with "O" They even pushed my shopping cart for me!

From Snopes: The mindset of Michelle Obama.

%u201CAs I enter my final year at Princeton, I find myself striving for many of the same goals as my white classmates %u2013acceptance to a prestigious graduate school or a high-paying position in a successful corporation%u201D She wrote citing the universities conservative values as a likely cause. %u201CPredominately White universities like Princeton are socially and academically designed to cater to the needs of the white students comprising the bulk of the enrollments,%u201D she said noting the small size of the African American studies department and that there were only five black tenured professors at the University across all departments.
Conclusions:
( 1 ) Students and their families should not strive for acceptance to prestigious Graduate schools
(2) She could have gone elsewhere but it took her three years to figure out she should have gone to a predominantly black university.
(3) Princeton should have catered socially and academically to blacks instead of the bulk of the enrollees.
(4) All departments should be the same size rather than be determined by need to service the students interested in the courses

In Chicago and other refuge areas where questions about country of origin, legal residency and citizenship aren''t questioned, you can believe that there is widespread fraud with allowing illegal aliens the right to vote. Why anyone would be against stringent safeguards being placed in voting situations is suspect. It''s not an infringement or disenfranchisement for require proper identification, authentication and certification. What is going on in places like Ohio is a mockery and opens the flood gates for fraud by Dems, especially, going out and picking up bus loads of homeless and illegals and taking them to places of voter registration and then they''re allowed to immediately vote without any certification of their identification documents and in many cases, none whatsover. The Dems would be the first ones to cry foul if this were Repubs doing this. It''s shameful. This is the type of change the Dems and their precious Obama were talking about. By any means necessary is their mantra, which was also the outcry of Malcolm X.
