Question: What race was most important to Democrat voters in this election? Local? State? National such as POTUS? Ballot initiatives?

Young woman explains what is most important to her – in a single word.

Thanks for this. Jimmy Kimmel played it last week but I was not able to find a link for it.

To get into a Philly courthouse (state or federal), you need an ID.

Unless escorted by the police and wearing something brightly orange.
Probably voted that way as well.

How quaint. Venezuela of the north is going to pretend it’s concerned about legal elections. It’s so cute the way we pretend the Constitution is still the law of the land. Bless those little justices hearts.

+1000

All your votes were meaningless. The election was rigged.

Sorry, veterans. Your efforts were wasted.

…amen!

1) Ludwig Wittgenstein was the father of what modern trend in Philosophy?

Bullshit

2) Define the general implications of “c” in “E=mc2″.

With the imposition of a carbon tax, the equation will need updating…”E=mc”.

3) Heraclitus’ expression “Panta Rhei” means what in plain English?

Rihanna is hot

4) Give the exact figure for the melting point of lead on the Centigrade scale?

Lead is outlawed, so what do I care?

5) George Washington owned how many slaves during his lifetime?

The fact he owned any at all tells you all you need to know about white people.

Either way, don’t expect these questions to be entirely resolved when the high court rules on this one narrow section under review.

But DO expect the corrupt, race-baiting Left to hyperventilate and accuse whitey of “disenfranchising”!

I’m wondering…

… when it all comes burning down, do the Supremes think their robes are fire proof?

No, they’ll be whisked to the airport to board “Justice 1″ and fly off to France for asylum.

He is on record as saying the way to stop discriminating by race is to stop discriminating by race.

Whether they’ll flat out overrule O’connor’s fairly recent precedents of Grutter and Gratz on AA is questionable.

True, although Shelby County may e able to show that conditions have changed so much in their county that Section 5 no longer applies.

The Court could still put the burden on DOJ to show that there were certain backward, raaacist counties that still needed supervision and send it back. Of course, there would have to be a cleary enunciated standard for what is still “backward.”

That was the argument in PA, that these poor people didn’t have IDs, or money to order birth certificates to get IDs, or couldn’t get them in time…..

To get into a Philly courthouse (state or federal), you need an ID.

True. Voter ID doesn’s matter if GOP poll watchers are thrown out and have to go to court for several hours to get back in. In that time, the votes of all dead, moved, and no-shows are logged in.

“Hey, while you were in court, an amazing number of people showed up, and they all had valid ID. Imagine that.”

Wethal on November 11, 2012 at 12:54 PM

Exactly. While you were gone, we had 100% turnout. And they all voted for Obama. Nothing to see here. Move along.

But the SCOTUS has already upheld voter ID in Indiana. So wouldn’t “equal protection” suggest it should be upheld in other states, if they apply the same conditions as those in Indiana?

iurockhead on November 11, 2012 at 12:54 PM

Voter ID is only part of the powers of Section 5, so they would not have qualms about extending Section 5, and just saying that such is necessary to make things “equal”. And I could easily see the court reversing itself on voter ID now that it is Leftist and saying the states that already have voter ID have to justify it before the Justice Department to make sure things are equal. And after all, this is the Supreme Court. You expect consistency, legality, or constitutionality out of them?

It likely will. the last time they looked at Section 5, they broadly hinted that the Congress should just repeal this part of the VRA. (SCOTUS first defers to the legislative branch for the institution for changing laws). Congress did not take the hint.

Wethal on November 11, 2012 at 1:17 PM

In Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District No. 1 v. Holder, 557 U.S. 193, 129 S.Ct. 2504 (2009) the Court, with the opinion written by Chief Justice Roberts, explicitly said that it decided on statutory and not constitutional grounds. He wrote that while it was theoretically possible that conditions could change in the country enough to warrant a constitutional challenge, that they would not do so and would defer to the Legislative branch. That is a very weak reed to lean on. The VRA was last renewed, for 25 years, by Congress in 2006.

Congress literally cannot overturn Section 5 since the Northwest Austin decision, because the Democrat Senate has literally refused to bring anything wanted by the Republicans up for a vote. Including budgets, taking the “power of the purse” away from the Legislative Branch and giving it to the Executive.

Thus, Congress’ last word is that it is renewed until at least 2031. Roberts was only theoretically discussing overturning Section 5 and concluded against doing so. Since then, he has been placed in Obama’s pocket, and created the doctrine that the Federal government could violate the Constitution at will so long as they did so in the guise of a tax.

Do not look to the Courts to enforce the law or Constitution against the almighty State, but only against the people.

I find it strange that eh same party which is supported down the line by poor urban blacks and the very poorest city dwelling whites can ignore many issues including gunfight slaughters in major urban areas like that in Chicago.

IlikedAUH2O on November 11, 2012 at 2:02 PM

Why? Its the same group that created Planned Parenthood to control black population growth, from their point of view the more blacks die in Chicago ghettos (and elsewhere) the better.

You’re looking at it wrong. As do blacks.

In certain areas Putin got 150% of the vote (kinda like Barry here), I mean they went a little over the top with fabricating votes, just to b on the safe side :)

jimver on November 11, 2012 at 1:42 PM

They OPENLY brought in boxes of “votes” to a good number of precincts. They OPENLY destroyed boxes of votes.

What we saw here last week was nothing but a copy of what happened in Russia earlier this year. Putin got less than 30% of the vote, but numbers reported indicated that not only absolutely every man, woman and child voted for him, but 24% more than actual ENTIRE population of Russia. Never mind other candidates having votes to their names.

As can be seen in Phillie and I am sure in OH and FL, at the least, this was similar Yellow Book election here last week, they pre-filled the votes weeks prior to election and slipped them in. While then systematically deleting/destroying R votes in the process. Hussein and Co. keep copying Soviet methods with wild success rate, at an ever increasing rate.

Too bad that GOP is fine with all of this. I can see this crap happening from now on in our elections now that this massive fraud was proven a success.

Paint yourself black, speak Ebonics and see if you don’t get to vote.
Heck you’ll probably get two or three ballots in some areas.

Bubba Redneck on November 11, 2012 at 2:05 PM

Nah, stay white if you want to,no need for body paint if you want to vote multiple times.

A friend was on his way to hunting in AZ, via Las Vegas, on election day. As we picked him up and drive around town I pointed out car after car with CA license plates, at least as many as we usually see here on weekends. I knew that CA crowd votes at home and then drives here to vote yet again, similar to how many in NY area vote at home and then at their or relatives’ houses in FL. He said “No way this happens.”

Well, after they announced more people in NV voting, BY FAR IN HISTORY, this is no longer in doubt.

And media are still trying to convince us that the turnout was “less than in 2008″. Right. It all depends on who counts the votes.

The difficulty in all voters ahving an ID, including non-drivers, and the poor, is the only area in which states must be careful.

Wethal on November 11, 2012 at 12:44 PM

You’re saying that none of the poor smoke nor drink? Or bank? Or cash their checks somehow?

This argument is so tired by now. 100% not true. EVERYONE has a picture ID of some sort.

I left my “picture ID” at home, while just walking around in a mall we stopped by at Verizon store a few weeks back. When approached by a sales rep told him we’re just looking at phones and thinking of upgrading, he then spent an hour going through models and a deal to make this happen that day, all this with his store manager in it. Asked me for my acct, accessed it via Verizon system, this included not only my Verizon login id and password, but last 4 of my Social Security. We then decided to take the deal he offered and guess what, even after all of that I was asked for a picture ID to finish the deal. All this after THEY instigated the conversation and me giving them all the info required to access my account. We’re talking Verizon, not voting here.

This picture ID BS is way beyond laughable by now in this age, only illegals, and only some of the illegals do not have a picture ID today.

Time to retire this argument.

Paint yourself black, speak Ebonics and see if you don’t get to vote.
Heck you’ll probably get two or three ballots in some areas.

Better yet, walk in with a child and claim he’e thirty and wants to vote. Let them tell you no. Tell them to prove that he’s not thirty.

We need national voter ID laws as well as state-level voter ID laws.
Otherwise the GiveMeFreeSh*t crowd will just keep walking away with elections.

The next time some charity calls for money tell them to get it from the gubmint and the GiveMeFreeSh*t crowd.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Quit running RINOS!
Quit running Romneycare vs. Obamacare.
First purge the GOP of RINOs.
Run conservatives!
During WWII the Brits were preparing to fight “Jerry” in the streets of London.
They sank the French fleet days after they fought alongside them to keep those ships out of Hitler’s hands.
We need to practice politics like this.
