Romney gets caught lying about Obama, military voters

What's wrong with giving them all three days? I can understand making special accommodations for the military when necessary, but what is wrong with making those accommodations available to all? As long as the active duty military aren't being harmed, what's the big deal?

The big deal is the Tea Wackers want to cry about Obama dishing the military.

They are Croc tears in more ways than one!

The reason Ohioans’ early votes must be done by three days before the election is to allow local election boards to synchronize the early balloting records with the votes at the 9,800 polling places in the state to prevent people from voting twice.

Of course the Obama campaign wants to muck things up by extending early voting to everyone; the resultant logjam would make it easier for dead people and otherwise ineligible people to cast a vote. What makes the Obama campaign’s suit even more egregious is the fact the Ohioans have 35 days before the election to request an absentee ballot; there is no shortage of time.

Thus the leniency toward our men and women in uniform is a matter of necessity, not convenience. Many overseas servicemen and women need the extra time for their ballots to arrive, and this is a transparent attempt by the Obama campaign to negate their votes by encouraging a corrupt situation to allow for false votes. In addition, Obama’s campaign had referred in their s suit to the reasons for extra military time as “arbitrary and unconstitutional.”

We have early voting in the Wichita area, for everyone. Photo ID and all. If Kansans can handle it, Ohioans can, as well.

I have to agree with folks I hate to agree with, but this looks like an attempt to allow Republicans to vote with more ease than others. We know the military is going to vote overwhelmingly against Obama, so to show them a favored status, for reasons unrelated to their location, is suspect.

If active duty, overseas (or stationed outside of their home district in Ohio) military personnel need some extra accommodation to make sure they are able to vote, no problem. It doesn't sound like that is the case here.

We already have proven registration and voter fraud in Ohio but not in Kansas. They need to be watched.

And their ability to disregard known facts and replace them with speculation is second to none.

[WTF]

These stupid Tea Baggers will not even accept a Birth Certificate from Hawaii! as proof of citizenship! If Obama wins, they need something to blame it on...



Let them eat cake and off with their heads, I say!

Bumping because Stevie bumped for an unknown reason.
