Romney gets caught lying about Obama, military voters

[Whirlaway]

W da Fuck; you don't think the US Military is volunteer service ?

[Sensia]

This pretty much sums it up.. and I so agree.

"It's as if words no longer have any meaning, and Americans politics has become so blisteringly stupid, candidates believe they can say literally anything and get away with it"

However I am surprised that the Reps would do this--generally military voters tend to lean Republican.

+1


I'm curious for those that believe the poster above me (I'm one of them) does this extend to Obama or just guys on the right.


Be honest. Nothing posted here on a whore board will make a difference to the election. Pretty much all of us that are grudgingly going to vote for Romney have said he's pretty terrible but I've never, not once, heard you on the left say Obama ever lied about anything. It's ok to not like one or two things your guy does.

How many fucking days does Joe Citizen need to get his lazy ass to the voting booth?

I think the service men and women have obstacles that should be recognized and let them have the extra time.......

But Obama doesn't want voter ID; and he doesn't want the military to have the needed time.

He is giving them exactly WTF they want...three extra days.

Why are you objecting to others getting that too?

If they are not getting paid they are volunteers! Do you gat paid at the job you applied for? The military personnel do too. Pretty damn simple. By you definition garbage people volunteer.

[Whirlaway]

No he isn't; they want 3 days longer than Joe Citizenship has.....the 3 days are because of the hardship.......why does Joe Citizenship need the extension ?

It is the military volunteers who need the 3-day extension, not Joe Citizenship.

WTF is wrong with everybody that volunteers for a job getting the three day extension?

This is like somebody giving you a 100 bucks and then you crying because they gave me a 100 bucks too. Petty IMHO.

Because they shouldn't get special treatment in this case! Are you saying a retired military vote should count 1.15 times someone else''s? Maybe a first responder's vote should count 1.3 times?

No, the whole issue is to allow ALL legal voters to vote, and recognize there are many legitimate reasons some people can't vote on one specific day.

I'm all for military getting some extras for what they do, but you are strictly politicizing something that should be apolitical.

Obama's making the argument that giving some voters 3 more days than everyone else is unconstitutional. His answer to this constitutional crisis is simply to give everyone the 3 more days, so we can continue to give those who need it the 3 more days.

Are you against the constitution all of a sudden?

Total BS! So, does the active duty navy person on shore duty in Jacksonville get the 3 days? But the guy working on a rural ambulance 150 miles from his voting location not? Talk about being petty and divisionist! Hardships come in many shapes and sizes. I guarantee you if you put it to a vote of the military they don't want special treatment, just a chance to vote.
