Hmm.

(NAACP President Ben) Jealous says the 2014 midterm election will be the real bellwether for black turnout. “Black turnout set records this year despite record attempts to suppress the black vote,” he said.

If you’ve been watching US politics for a year or a decade or a century, this is amazing. in 2012 African-American voter turnout topped White voter turnout.

1. Don't give away the secrets, they will be trying the same moves. What they don't seem to

Understand is the angry old white men are going to be the minority, no longer will women and minorities have to bow at their feet. The GOP can continue to hang with the TP and think they will win but it is time to prove the point their days in charge is coming to an end. We have to keep the heat on and get the GOP back to the minority party, get the American Taliban out of the lives of women.

6. But when will the elected representatives realize they need to stop catering to rich old white men?

[Thinkingabout]

9. Perhaps when we defeat them. This dumb TP crap started with a few, we are together a

Majority. Democrats need to be back in power to redraw the district lines to keep it a true representation of the population and then perhaps we might be able to elect congressional members who use their ears and hear their constituents. I do have hope.

7. On the contrary, they do understand that they will be a minority...

Which is why they are becoming more belligerent and dogmatic.

2. Voter suppression is a distraction from them electronically stealing the votes. nm

[TinkerTot55]

5. Yes, This.

We need reform of the entire voting process, with transparency at every step.

[Thinkingabout]

10. You're right, who started the voter supression, GOP, and who has proven to be guilty,

The same ones. They believe if they continue to say this often enough cognitive dissonance will take over but it does not work that way with me.

I have thought about denying the vote to NRA members who voted for Romney.

3. Thank you to all those who turned out to Vote in 2012!

thanks for booman, kpete

Now, the gop is really pissed.. all their creepy suppression BACKFIRED.

4. Yeah, but don't

forget the U.S. Supreme Court and the 5 justices. Ii appears the 1964 Voting Right, Section 5 will be overturned and although its pertaining to one county/city in a Southern State (I can't remember the state) the GOP party will try and use it to severely hindered the minority and women's votes. Therefore, we the people must again fight for our civil rights. Women must also fight for their "body" rights. Its like the GOP party is gearing towards a dictatorship, and its becoming more obvious from what their leaders are spouting every day.

8. Don't forget the state legislatures either...

Or the U.S. House of Representatives...
