Hixter Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Hixter thinks Glen Beck is a smarter economist than Elizabeth WarrenYou're so good at putting words in other people's mouths that you should consider a career as a ventriloquist. For what it's worth, I don't watch Fox News (or whatever network he's on) and I doubt I could pick him out of a lineup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IRememberDBoon Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 oh you guys want to seriously talk politics on here when the right wing folks bring up every stupid talking point and conspiracy from the last two years? No thanks. Id rather just throw stink bombs. I know whats what and if you are over like 25 and haven't figured it out yet chances are you wont.When we get closer to Fall 2014 that will be a fun time to discuss. Everything now is all BS. Only a few of us junkies even really care whats really going on anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When we get closer to Fall 2014 that will be a fun time to discuss. Everything now is all BS. Only a few of us junkies even really care whats really going on anyway. As much as I disagree with Hixtler and others on the right, most of their points are generally well thought out and supported. I just have a problem with some of the conclusions drawn. Yes some posters are right-wing parrots, but I see them as exception rather than the rule. I read the right-wing blogosphere and listen to Rush and Hannity. The right posters here don't come close the conspiracy you think they do. As much as I probably agree with you, your posts are childish. Which is really the best word to describe them. You also paint other posters with a broad brush and put words in their mouths. You do a disservice to any point you try make because of how you post.You claim to be a "political junkie," but from what you post, I highly doubt you know anything other than what you find when googling "liberal memes." From your grammar and subject matter I would never guessed you were over 25 and "know whats what." I would have figured you where a sophomore in high school or something. You have never said anything intelligent in this forum, I wish you would. I would love to move this forum to a more political nature, I am surprised no one has brought up the economy yet. PBO is trying to do something. Or how about what North Carolina is doing to voters. That is truly a miscarriage of justice. Hey throw your stink bombs. But remember when you do, I (and many here) see you as a fool and truly an idiot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 which voting laws do you oppose? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 which voting laws do you oppose? 1) Voter ID laws - specifically in NC the requirement that it has to be state issued, rather than the current law which allows college IDs.2) Shortening the time of early voting3) Ending same day voting registration In many states, where the right has control, are pushing these voter suppression methods, to keep likely democratic voters form voting. There is no voter fraud, it is a made up myth to get these laws passed. We as a country need to make voting easier not harder. The more people who vote the better.

There is no citizenship requirement to go to college. Wow. LouieBI believe that's the point. Of those items above, the only one I might have a problem with is the shortening of early voting periods... but it would depend on how short they want to make it. Reducing it from, for example, one month to 2 weeks wouldn't bother me; reducing it down to 3 days would. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KevinG Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 It happens all the time. yeah that is all the time. Enough to warrant such messages to stop voting? Nearly 500,000 people voted in Milwaukee County in 2012. Out of the 10 cases listed 5 (and this is if you are reaching had to do with voting in the election (the other had to do with the recall petitions and some election job, not actual voting). So I will give you 5. That is .0001%. Really, you are concerned with .0001%? And are these and unreported cases really tipping the scales and have shaken your faith in the our voting system that these laws need to be passed? Really? But on the same hand you are ok with a person being able to by a gun with no ID. I guess it is voting that is the true danger that we have to keep people from. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really, you are concerned with .0001%?You're off by a decimal place (it's actually .001%) but that's not the point and it's certainly not the only election tainted by voter fraud. I'm concerned about any and all voter fraud and I don't think it's too much to for voters to show some sort of government ID in order to prove their identity. Hell, I have to show my ID to board a plane, so why not ask for ID when doing something as important as voting? Remember, George W. Bush won Florida -- and thus the presidency -- by 500 votes in 2000. That's an exceedingly small percentage of Florida voters, but the results affected each and every one of us. But on the same hand you are ok with a person being able to by a gun with no ID.I have never said any such thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Were any of the above convicted?I don't know if they've had their day in court yet; it was just the first story that popped up in a Google search. I just added the word "convicted" to the Google search and came up with this case in which a woman was sentenced to 5 years for voter fraud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
