Democrats, Honest Elections and Other Fairy Tales

On Monday, a U.S. District Court in Corpus Christi, Texas heard arguments in a challenge to the Texas Voter ID law that Gov. Rick Perry signed into law in May in an attempt to secure the integrity of the voting process of Texas citizens:

"The right to vote is simply too important for us to take the act of voting lightly," Gov. Perry said. "Today with the signing of this bill, we take a major step forward in securing the integrity of the ballot box and protecting the most cherished right we enjoy as citizens."

SB 14 requires a voter to show as a valid form of photo ID, either a driver's license, Department of Public Safety issued photo personal identification card, U.S. military ID card, U.S. citizenship certificate that contains a photograph, U.S. passport or Texas concealed handgun license. The bill creates a free election identification certificate with a photograph issued by DPS for registered voters who need a photo ID. The bill also increases the penalty for voting illegally to a second degree felony, and increases attempted illegal voting to a state jail felony....."

Okay, what's the problem here? Does it not help prevent voter fraud by dead people and non-citizens? Not acceptable for lefties that need illegal votes to get elected and stay in office. You know, the ones who say there is no voter fraud.

But just like climate change and other issues, the real reasons and arguments are disguised. 

*Play Race card*

"Monday the court heard closing arguments in the case that challenges the most militant and vicious vote suppression law in America. 

Various groups including The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Brennan Center for Justice, the NAACP and the Mexican American Legislative Caucus of the Texas House of Representatives were joined by the Department of Justice and private organizations in a consolidation of challenges to this heinous vote suppression law."

Gee Wally, no surprise here....all the usual suspects including the most biased and corrupt Department of Justice in history.... 

"Opponents of Texas’ vote suppression law pointed to hard evidence that the law will disenfranchise 600,000 Texas voters. Adding insult to injury, taxpayers are paying for this court battle with tax dollars. Some of those taxpayers are the very people Greg Abbott is fighting to disenfranchise.

The statistics reveal:

Blacks and Hispanics are between 1.6 times to 4 times less likely than Whites to have SB 14 ID, and approximately 4% of all registered voters, or approximately 600,000 registered voters, lack SB 14 ID.

While the stats show the adverse effect on racial minorities, that in itself doesn’t prove there was a discriminatory intent behind the law....."  

If you are a citizen of the US, and you don't have a driver's license or state issued ID, then you can't cash a check or get most state or federal benefits issued to them. Being poor, black or hispanic is no excuse for not having an ID. You can't do business without one. The law states "a free election identification certificate with a photograph issued by DPS for registered voters who need a photo ID."

The objection to the law by the left is for the propose of loose voter registration and voting , like buying a tickets to a movie, and no other reason. 

CASE IN POINT: according to the Registrar of Voters Office of Caddo Parish, State of Louisiana, my friend changed her voter registration from Independent to Democrat on August 12th, 2008. 

My friend died of Leukemia on Jan 26, 2005.

If the Obama Administration was a Football Team....

Nutjob RFK is Again Calling For Imprisonment of Climate Skeptics and CEO's

The folks at the Climate Depot have uncovered video where Robert F. Kennedy Junior said he wants to imprison his political opponents, put energy CEOs and the Koch brothers in prison for “treason” and “reckless endangerment.”

As typical of most liberals, silencing the opposition – whether by imprisoning them or shouting them down – is all too common.

This isn’t the first time the vocally-challenged activist has called for sending political opponents to prison. In 2007, he said climate skeptics were “traitors” and should be treated as such and in 2009, he said coal company CEOs should be “in jail for all of eternity.”

Syria Is 7th Country Bombed By Nobel Peace Prize Winner

I saw a car plastered with lefty bumper stickers the other day at the grocery store. There were multiple Obama stickers and multiple stickers with slogans of peace.

At this point doesn’t one remove one or the other?

Gabby Giffords Shoots Self in Foot With Attack Ad

Smear of Pro-Gun Candidate Backfires 

by Robert Janicki

A person is shot and killed by a criminal, who was illegally in possession of a gun.  What happens next?  It's as certain as the sun rising in the east tomorrow, the next day and forevermore.

Liberals will cry out for more gun controls on law abiding gun buyers and owners.  They figuratively wave the bloody shirt of the victim/s and loudly proclaim that all who oppose further gun control are somehow knuckle dragging Neanderthals responsible for a criminal's use of an already illegally acquired gun.  It's the same crap just warmed over every time a gun is used illegally.  Somehow, liberals believe that such ridiculous logic will actually sway people to demand more gun control and they may be right, considering they are appealing to the cognitively challenged, not to mention all the illegally registered voters they have signed up.

Here's the latest liberal smear of a Republican congressional candidate in Arizona that went very badly for liberals.

"On September 17 ... Americans for Responsible Solutions (ARS)--the gun control group founded by Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly--was running an ad attacking GOP Congressional candidate Martha McSally for defending the Second Amendment..." (breitbart)

Guess what tactic Giffords used to attack Martha McSally.  You got it.  Bring out the figurative bloody shirts of the two victims and try to paint McSally as the cause for the victim's death, because McSally doesn't support radical reactionary gun control over law-abiding gun owners.  Here's what happened to Giffords shameless smear of McSally.  Hint: a major backfire and blowback on Giffords.

"On September 19 the Arizona Republic condemned the ad, saying it "waves the bloody shirt" by taking "the tragic death of two innocents" and trying to lay them at McSally's feet. The Republic says the ad's "base and vile" approach is hurting Giffords' image while leaving McSally untouched.

The Republic says the ad is "more than Hardball politics," it's the "[exploitation] of a family's tragedy to score cheap political points...." (breitbart)

The blowback on Giffords and Representative Ron Barber, the Democrat that Giffords supports, could not have been more deserved.  With talent like this, Giffords needs to go out and support more Democrats with her warped view on further gun control and diminishing the 2nd Amendment and the individual's right to own firearms. .

Kim Jong Un Says United Nations Criticism a Homo Plot

North Korea says criticism of its human rights record is a gay conspiracy, and that the lead author of a UN report is a "disgusting old gay lecher"

Kim Jong # Un

North Korea has responded to a recent report on its human rights record by describing it is a gay plot, adding that gays do not exist in the secretive communist country.

Rights activists say that in a perverse sense there could be said to be a certain truth to the last part of that statement, at least in so far as anyone accused of being gay is always found guilty -- the secret police does not arrest innocent people, North Korea says -- and then shot.

 Last week, North Korea issued a 53,000 word "rebuttal" to a 2014 UN report accusing the regime of "unspeakable" atrocities.
Overall, North Korea is estimated by the Black Book of Communism of having killed 2 million people since its inception.

There have been no demonstrations in Western capitals by gay rights groups over the remarks. Nor have there been any significant rallies or demonstrations against North Korea's rights record generally.

Biden Praises Lecherous Former Senator at Womens Event

Joe Biden....What can we say that hasn't already been said of the man who's mouth regularly outruns it's supply lines. It's as if he's sent out into the public plugged into a data base of stupidity.  Setting aside reality for just a millisecond, one can just imagine the wealth of satirical quotes and agitprop he has inspired over these last 6 years could actually be the real smokin' Joe. 

........and the train keeps a rollin':

Red Alert

"On Friday, Biden spoke at a Democratic Women’s Conference where he reminisced about past Republicans who were willing to work across the aisle, like former Oregon Senator Bob Packwood — the same Bob Packwood who resigned in disgrace after allegations of sexual harassment.

He wasn't joking, but one almost wishes he were. Packwood is far from being a golden example of statesmanship. The Senate ethics committee voted unanimously to recommend his expulsion in 1995, after 10 women accused him of unwanted sexual harassment....."

I have come to the conclusion that the joke Biden is really Barack Obama's insurance policy is actually the truth. He's like someone who's nice to the kids when he visits, but not someone you'd trust to babysit them. 

Obama's Year of Action:

"President Obama's 'Year of Action' has turned into a Year of Fear. The country seems mired in dread. And that could have mortal consequences for midterm Democrats.   The White House is afraid. Democrats are afraid.

"New polls out this week betray a rattled public, one that is jittery about war, security, and the economy -- and one that is increasingly looking to the GOP, not the party in power. Even as the White House has sought to reassure Americans that the campaign in Iraq will be limited, that the president isn't going to act alone on immigration in the near future, and that the economy is doing better, the damage appears to be done.

 "Obama and his aides have been caught between messages: that the country wasn't going to war, until it was (sort of). That the president couldn't act on immigration, until he could, until he wouldn't (yet). That the economy had turned the corner, but not quite. (Wait.)" — James Oliphant, National Journal

Ten Buck Friday

During the 2010 midterms, conservative bloggers united in a movement called “Ten Buck Friday”. The concept behind TBF was to encourage a contribution of $10 each week to select campaigns to help elect fiscal conservatives to Congress. And is you remember, that was the year that Republicans handed "The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer" an "embarrassing shellacking". 

There are only 7 Fridays between now and the 2014 midterms and we support the effort to push vital funds into the Republican candidates campaign coffers.

Republicans need just six seats to oust the corrupt Dingy Harry Reid as majority leader. Isn't it worth ten bucks a week (30 pkgs. of Ramen?) to help eliminate Reid's control.   

Every Friday between now and November 4th we are asking our readers to strongly consider contributing $10 to the campaign of the candidate(s) we have highlighted that week.

I give a special appeal to donate to the campaign of Dr. Bill Cassidy . It is of the up most importance we defeat Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana.  The race is virtually a dead heat, and this is a chance to finally defeat the Landrieu family political machine and free America from a rubber stamp for Barrack Obama's policies.  

Contribute to Dan Sullivan  Here
Contribute to Tom Cotton Here
Contribute to Joni Ernst Here
Contribute to Bill Cassidy Here
Contribute to Thom Tillis Here
 
(If you mark your contribution as "Ten Buck Friday", they'll see the blogosphere give them a little bump.)
