Texas Voter ID Law Discriminates Against Women, Students and Minorities

[Rattrap]

You fuckers must be bored. I know I am after going through this thread.

As for the topic at hand...I've seen many, many people (always Republican) bring up many times, "You need an ID for this, why not that?" or "Why didn't they just keep all those court documents?" or "They should've have changed that right away...!" etc., etc, ad nauseum. The thing is, they're not necessarily wrong - but they are entirely beside the point. None of that stands behind the Republican lawmakers' reasoning for doing this. It's voter disenfranchising, plain and simple. It's been admitted publicly by different Republicans. Voter fraud (the onus, by the way BC, is always on proving the existence of something - not the reverse. Ergo, the claim that voter fraud exists significantly must be proven, not disproven) a barely subtle bullshit excuse. Everybody who isn't lying to themselves knows it.

Republicans are making themselves irrelevant and the faster the better - for all Americans, including the half that doesn't know it. With luck, another party will step up in its stead - I'm crossing my fingers for Libertarians. While I don't agree with their entire platform, I agree with it more than the Democratic or Republican platforms, and at any rate they'd likely be a real fiscal counterweight to the Democrats (unlike the Republicans, whose 'fiscal restraint' can only be found in history books).

Let the religious right sputter their wheels as an irrelevant third party. If we're lucky they'll be completely gone in a few generations, but that's been predicted before and didn't pan out.

You've always been a highly respected and even tempered poster. I hate to see you have to get down into the gutter. You're better than that and it diminshes you.

 

[Mayhem]

What part of his post is "in the gutter"? And what part isn't even tempered?

. In a court of law we disprove the existence of many things. I am a scientist of sorts you know. Political science.

The only reason he didn't go off on you is because he perceived you as sympathetic to his cause. You knew he wasn't directing his threads at you when he posted something like this, or this, or this, or this, and that's just the thread titles. He thought you were on his side, maybe you were, but you don't seem to be locked into republican party propaganda, you just don't seem to trust any of them, maybe a little more distrust of liberals, but I wouldn't pigeonhole you the way Sam pigeonholed himself.

Yeah, I'm not really pro anybody. I have voted for many Dems....specifically Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland. He was a really good Governor. I get your point, and I did agree with some of the stuff he posted...he mainly lost me with the hardcore anti abortion, birth control stuff. But I have let him know I disagreed, and he always treated me decent. I guess it is what it is, and I have seen him act like a douche to you, and many others...I see your point, I just can't jump on the I hate Sam bandwagon.

yeah I am not arguing that she deals with a mentally ill person daily.

I could go dig and find your exact reply but why bother when you backed up that post just a few posts before this one. you said "No, I didn't continually deflect and dismiss their behavior, I pointed out they aren't the only ones that commit such atrocities" So someone says to you "Priests are raping little kids" and THAT is your reply? Instead of "I know it's horrible!" or "How fucked up! I hope they burn in hell!" no, you didn't do that. You acted like a little kid who got caught eating his boogers and when mommy scolded him said "But Jimmy does it too!"

that is where my issue was, and for good reason. "Hey that guy just punched an old woman in the face!" your reply would be "Hey, a lot of people punch old women in the face." A guy butt fucks your wife and your reply is "A lot of people butt fuck my sack of shit wife!"

No actually, you can't. They deleted it, because you broke the rules, and the post had to be removed. My God, you are truly a fucking whacked out of her skull retard. How in the flying flaming fuck, can you equate pointing out many people commit a crime, with condoning a group doing it?!?! You are totally out of your cum filled brain! Because I didn't immediately jump on the "mariah hates the church, so you must too" band wagon, and become a violently deranged maniac, with a blood lust to start killing priests that molest children, I too, am also a kiddie diddler. You're a out of your fucking mind. First of all, I guarantee, I have committed far more violence towards people, hurting children, or the elderly, then you have ever dreamed of, and secondly cum sponge, YOU went after loved ones long ago...your little bastard became fair game, when you brought my wife into it, with the whole cuckhold thing. You're just a petulant, whiny waste of life, not to mention a detriment to the brand that "Freeones" has tried to create.But since you've probably had your head slammed into to many walls or head boards, whiling being thew fuck pig you are, I will try once more...just once.

While it is true, there are far to many catholic priests molesting children, and getting away with it...I would like to point out that, many other organizations have this problem too. Lets not forget those poor children, because we have a hatred for religion, and what it represents. Teachers, scout leaders, coaches...they've all been guilty of this crime to, so lets save a little room around the burning stake for them too.

Now, you lying, abusive waste of life, be proud. YOU are the reason why I will NEVER be against abortion...the world would be better off, if your mother would have had one. As far as my mother goes....sorry, no black cock there, she was about as big a racist as they come, and my wife....she's been with less men in her whole life, then you've been with in one night...you infected ball bag, of festering cock snot. Do the world, and the board a favor.....

 

[Mariahxxx]

what a shock that you come from a long line of racists. Racists are the ones who secretly love them some dark meat. I'm sure your mommy was no different. She got down with some Mandingo man sauce on many occasions I guarantee it.

As far as your wife, she must be so proud of her husband that he trades insults with a porn star on a porn site for a hobby. She spends all day dealing with the low end of society and then has to come home to you, and do it all over again. You can call me names but I just consider the source. A lonely fuck cuckold on a porn board casting dispersions at a girl. What a real man you are. I'm sure when you showed your wife our exchange she got a real chuckle out of it. But not out of the exchange, but of the memory of her parents begging her not to marry a fucking loser like you.

So go cuckold in a red roof Inn and film it to ad to your collection so you can cry yourself to sleep while you pull on your midget boner watching your wife get reamed by a big black horse cock. I bet she loves to rim that black hairy asshole too right? and I bet you love to kiss her after she gets a train run on her.

 

[Jack Davenport]

On behalf of Mayhem and myself, duly appointed viceroys of courtesy and message board etiquette, we implore Mariah to calm the fuck down as you are epitomizing how NOT to conduct oneself in a talk forum. I am quite sure that he finds such behavior as deplorable as I do.

Funny thing, I always tried to get along with Sam but it was like he could only be nice for so long, invariably he would end up over at moonbattery or some other far-right website and get worked up into a hissy fit and feel compelled to come set all the dirty FreeOnes liberals straight. I honestly don't think there are any real fringe far lefties that post here and blaming all the liberal ills of society on some center-left liberals is pretty much a dick thing to do. I still don't hate the guy, never really did, I just wanted him to show a little consideration. Not that it matters, after going way too far far too many times he's gone, thank goodness, because he wasn't going to change.

You're the one that keeps going back to the black cuckhold thing...maybe because daddy was SOOOOO proud his little whigger daughter got knocked up at...what, 15, 16, by some low life hood rat. Is that why you had to go on welfare? Mommy and Daddy disown their little whigger cum hole?

Oh, by the way, my mother is dead, so you're just wasting your time, and my wife doesn't deal with low lives...she doesn't work with your friends in the welfare line, she deals with men and woman that have suffered mental illness from various reasons...including being in war, and serving their country, to those that have done to many drugs. So you go ahead and keep making rude comments about veterans, and the dead...it'll just prove how much class you really have piggy.

 

[Mariahxxx]

hey genius I let your abuse of the english language slide a few times here lately but you did it again and I just have to point out your ignorance once again.
you said " to those that have done to many drugs." and it should have been "too many drugs"

Too means as well or conveys the idea of in excess.

To is a preposition e.g., Give it to her or is used to show the infinitive form of a verb e.g., I want to run.

Ill use it in a sentence. Your wife thinks your dick is too small and you are too pathetic to fuck so she makes you watch while black men with enormous cocks give it to her very hard.

you see what I did there?

Your very strong insistence and should I say more than constant obsession with the black cock is really disturbing for me. I think you should tone it down, insulting one's parents is really disgusting, weak and honestly has no place on this board, really. You perhaps know grammar but perhaps he has a diploma a phd or a mba, so what is your point to say that because someone is not good in grammar enough that someone mustn't be intelligent? I think enough is enough, we aren't in kindergarten anymore and let's keep things civil.

 

[Mariahxxx]

georges there is no greater insult to a racist than to bring up black cock. they loath the idea yet their dicks get hard at the same time. So its a self-indulgent torture for them.

and he doesnt have shit george other than a HUA degree. that stands for Head Up ass.

and if he calls my son a bastard then the gloves are off. I was suspended for my previous remarks yet he keeps bringing it up as an excuse to call me names. Fuck him and his fat ass whore of a wife. An educated person knows the difference between then and than and to and too.

Rebid has been just as out of line, notice I'm not excusing Mariah. They both need to put an end to what's going on. Debate and argue, fine but the insults have hit a point of disgusting

 

[xfire]

I'll be surprised if a court doesn't throw out the Texas voter ID law, like what happened with the abortion restrictions the misogynists in the Texas GOP pushed through. On a happier note, effective September 1, 2013 switchblades, gravity knives, and butterfly knives are now legal to own and carry in Texas.

 

[Mariahxxx]

careful wdoall he gets very upset if you dont get his name right.

 

[wdoall]

Well, my greatest talent is pissing people off so.....too bad

Texas' Restrictive Voter ID Law Stops A Former U.S. House Speaker From Getting A Voter ID Card

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/03/jim-wright-voter-id_n_4210225.html

Former U.S. Speaker of the House Jim Wright (D-Texas) tried to get a voter identification card at a Texas Department of Public Safety office on Saturday.

But the only photo identification cards Wright has -- an expired Texas driver's license and a Texas Christian University faculty identification card -- do not satisfy the requirements of the state's restrictive vote identification law, passed in 2011. Wright is 90 years old.

“I earnestly hope these unduly stringent requirements on voters won’t dramatically reduce the number of people who vote,” Wright told the Star-Telegram on Saturday. “I think they will reduce the number to some extent.”

According to the Star-Telegram, Wright will return to the office Monday to get a Texas personal identification card with a certified copy of his birth certificate.

If Wright successfully obtains a personal ID card on Monday, he will be able to vote on Tuesday. But his assistant, Norma Ritchson, is worried other elderly citizens will face obstacles when trying to vote.

“I’ve been thinking about the people who are in retirement homes,” Ritchson said. “I’ve read that this is the lowest early voter turnout in a long time and I wonder if this [ID requirement] is the cause. We’ve tried so hard to make voting easy, and now the Texas Legislature has made it harder by making you have a photo ID.”

State Sen. Wendy Davis (D-Fort Worth) also ran into problems when attempting to cast an early vote last week. She is identified as Wendy Russell Davis on her driver's license, but listed as Wendy Davis in voter registration rolls. The Democratic gubernatorial candidate had to sign an affidavit of her identity to cast her vote.

And Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, Davis' potential Republican challenger, had to sign an affidavit due to a similar issue. Abbott is identified as Gregory Wayne Abbott on his driver's license, but only Greg Abbott in his voter registration file. Abbott has defended the voter ID law in court.
