This won't help us win any elections, but it still must be trumpeted from the highest peaks

1. That is for DAMN sure, my dear DFW.

And this is exactly what the Republicans are doing.

When you have NO GOOD IDEAS, then you do whatever you can get away with to stop people from voting.

Disgusting and reprehensible.

[SoapBox]

2. ^^ What Peggy said ^^

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. Thanks! n/t

[FiveGoodMen]

5. They don't merely have no good ideas

They have really, really bad ideas that they don't want us to know (or at least think) about.

6. THAT kind of talk will soon be against the law - if the GOP has anything to say about it!

[16thMission]

7. Spot on!

[niyad]

8. k and r--wish somebody would make lots of billboards of that one!

[Enthusiast]

9. K&R! This post should have hundreds of recommendations!

[DCBob]

10. I fear what the Rethugs will do if they ever get full control of Congress and the WH.

They will probably try to change the voting rights laws to make it more difficult to register for minorities and younger voters.

[vlyons]

27. That will be the time when

we exercise our 2nd Amendment rights!

[sweetapogee]

35. and do just exactly what?

please tell us what your plan is? What do you have in mind?

[vlyons]

36. snark

It was a snarky comment, darling. Remember Sharon Angle?

[2naSalit]

11. Can't argue with that! K&R!!

[DesertRat]

12. Exactly right!

[jtuck004]

13. Would you mind making a few dozen billboards of that and distributing them across the county.? n/t

[lordsummerisle]

14. What about

Legislation offering up a tax deduction or credit if you vote? With less than 50% turnout elections are pretty pathetic given that special interests are so influential...

[Hekate]

15. Amen, brother.

[bjobotts]

16. Republicans feel can't win without fraud

I think Obama did a hell of a job when I think how things were 6yrs agao yet all these dem candidates in the midwest are distancing themselves from Obamna. Bradley, Iowa, Arkansas, Ohio etc think they have to pretend to be republican lite and saying we didn't vote with Obama aor support him much of the time. Hell they should be touting his record...repubs won't vote for them anyway and dems won't show up to vote for DINOS.
When Obama took office we were losing 700.000 jobs a month, falling into a republican made depression. losing the auto industry, healthcare run amuck. We've had positive job growth every yr since Obama took office. He cut the deficit by 2/3rds, saved the auto industry, got affordable healthcare and regulations to health ins,. got financial protecton agency and student loan out of the profiteers' hands.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE DEMS? STAND UP WITH OBAMA'S RECORD IF YOU WANT TO WIN OR YOU WILL LOSE TRYING TO ACT LIKE A REPUBLICAN LITE. FIRE YOUR ADVISERS.

[DFW]

21. Too little, too late

But you're quite correct, all the same!

[tomm2thumbs]

18. yup yup yup

[love_katz]

19. Huge kick and recommend!

[Cha]

20. It should help us Win Elections! Mahalo, DFW

[DFW]

22. A`ole pilikia

And I hope you're right! Pomaika'i!

(My daughter went to school on the Big Island for 2 years. My keiki is now a wahine, and though she still looks like a haole, she still considers herself a kama'aina, and wears her honu tattoo proudly.)

[Cha]

23. How sweet, DFW... those two years got into her blood.

Pomaika'i to us all~ Learned a new word.. Mahalo!

[DFW]

24. We visited her as often as we could while she was there

Since the Big Island is exactly halfway around the world from us, it was a loooooong trip, but we made it as often as we could. The last time was for her graduation from HPA, which was quite a production. We even brought her grandmother, who had only been on an airplane once in her life before.

[Cha]

25. Wow! Beautiful, your family! Nothing like an Hawaiian Graduation..

[DFW]

28. He was long gone by the time she got there, of course

But she did catch up with him a short time later. She did her undergrad at GW in Washington DC, and interned with Emily's list, where she worked with him quite a lot while he was a Senator (first time I met him was at one of their gatherings in 2006).

[Chemisse]

26. Not only do their ideas (or lack thereof) suck,

But they alienate minorities and women. Rather than change to attract a wider audience, they try to keep those groups from voting.

It's truly sickening.

[DFW]

29. They reming me of Unamuno's speech to the Spanish Fascists in 1936

It's always easier to use force and conquer than to use logic and convince.

Unamuno told the fascists: "Ustedes vencerán, porque poseen la fuerza bruta, pero no convencerán."

("You people will conquer because you possess brute force, but you will not convince.&quot

He was right, they did win the Spanish Civil War, albeit with the help of Hitler and Mussolini. But their victory and the subsequent Franco dictatorship is now seen as one of the darker periods of modern Spanish history--just as the Republican money-dominated period of American history will be seen once it is over.

30. K&R

[loudsue]

31. So true. n/t

33. I just posted this to face book.

And am now trying to debunk right wing voter fraud beliefs. Why are Republicans so damned screwy. And verbose. I just missed lunch. Thanks, DFW.

[DFW]

34. Facebook is where I first saw it in the first place!

But another time around can't hurt
