   @Keynes: Go to billoreilly.com. Mr. O has a poll going that shows, overwhelmingly, that participants have no problem with Romney being a Mormon.

   =======================================

   Bill O’reilly’s polls are unscientific. The stormfront crowd proved that in 2003 when they methodically trolled it.

   @Mark: The obvious truth is…no Republican or conservative wants to tell everybody that Rush is full of it. Go to bernardgoldberg.com. Bernie calls Limbaugh out in one of his latest columns.

   Must be last week sometime that I brought Bill Maher up. Maybe, you’re confusing me with someone else? Because I failed to mention that Maher is a scumbag this week, doesn’t mean that I changed my mind.

   But, ask any woman, whether or not she’s a public figure: If you were called a “slut,” “prostitute,” or the ‘c’ word by a man, which word would likely be responsbible for putting your fist into that man’s face?

   Case closed.

   @Gabriel: I don’t know if Keith Olbermann solicits opinions from his website readers or not for any polls, but if he were to ask who they would likely vote for, you KNOW it’s going to be Obama, by a wide margin.

   So, if you’re going to call a spade a spade (NO RACIAL SLUR INTENDED!), you might as well say the same thing about Olbermann’s polls as you would about O’Reilly’s polls.

   My favorite person Allen West, love him and he speaks truth!

   Now I had my say so I’ll put you on my list with the rest of the Demoncrats and trolls on this site like Suik, Matthew, Mark and the other freaks. I don’t read a thing they furiously write ROFLMBO!

   @Ralph Hahn

   We had this discussion over and over on this board about Rush vs Maher. In the case of Rush he is viewed to some degree being a leading voice for the Republican party. On the flip side Maher is a comedian who is on the very far fringe of being a voice for the Democrats

   A bunch of House members 10 years ago made Rush an honorary congressman, I don’t remember the Democrats doing that for Maher.

   Reminder for 4/12/2012: Joan used the term explicitly racist term “Osambo” in reference to the President of the United States, and to do anything other than shun her is to give her permission to be human garbage.

    As for Rush not being the spokesman for the Right, tell that to the guy who keeps posting Rush quotes or stuff from Rush’s website. Am I to assume those quotes are ment as comedy like Bill Maher who you keep on bringing up?

    =========================================

    Forget about the nonentity, or Nemo (as they say in Latin) who goes by lbles. Fox News regularly highlights snippets of Limbaugh’s show daily now. Fox and Friends, the show after them, Megyn Kelly, and Greta have all been publicizing Limbaugh and even bringing on pundits to dissect his critical analysis on a daily basis.

    Of course it is. Why do I need to say it? I only mentioned O’reilly’s polls because you were attempting to use them to reach a conclusion. Oh, and why would anyone assume that spade is a racial slur?

    If you don’t read my wall of text, the ghost of Reagan will haunt your kitchen and mess up your pots and pans

    Reagan was on my side on the capital gains vs. income debate. Is that Charlie Rangel on the far left?

    @Gabriel
    Catholics are Christians dude.

    Yep, I spent 2 years in a Catholic Church before entering the Baptist Church. I was afraid I’d get addicted to the wine at the Catholic Church

    PS: When we visit Michigan and my wifes brother, we go with them to service at his Catholic Church, and I’m telling everyone here, At his church, I cannot tell a difference between his and a good old fashion Baptist sermon at ours.

    The Catholic Church has sure changed since I attended one. Pssst….all Christians are Christians, I never did go for the we’re right and their not junk. I’ll fish and eat and play basketball with Catholics and all Christians in Heaven, and (GULP) I’ll even share my coffee with Jesus and everyone too

    Holder’s Corrupt Opposition to Voter ID Laws

    Can anyone think of an innocuous reason that President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder oppose state voter ID laws?

    Obama and Holder appear to view almost everything through the prism of race or, at the very least, use race as an excuse to justify otherwise very dubious policies, from immigration enforcement to voter intimidation actions to strong-arming banks to make loans via allegations of racism.

    In December, along these lines, Holder criticized redistricting maps that had been drawn by the Texas Legislature and used the opportunity to call for an aggressive federal review of voter identification laws in not just Texas but other states.

    But what does all this have to do with voter ID laws? Well, Republicans have been engaged in lobbying for state voter ID laws throughout the nation as an effort to enhance fair and lawful elections and prevent voter fraud. These laws are simple and transparent; they would require voters to present a government-issued form of identification as a condition to voting.

    Predictably, Democrats — led by Obama and Holder — claim that the move is a GOP ruse to suppress minority voting. Holder called on the parties “to resist the temptation to suppress certain votes in the hope of attaining electoral success and, instead, achieve success by appealing to more voters.”
    Notice the automatic assumption and, in turn, barely veiled accusation of GOP racism. Notice further how utterly patronizing Holder’s attitude is to minorities.

    Is Holder’s position that minorities are incapable of or ill-equipped at obtaining identification to vote? Why shouldn’t people be required to prove they are who they say they are in order to participate in the electoral process?

    I would think minorities would be offended at the suggestion that laws requiring them to prove their identity as a prerequisite to voting would somehow disadvantage them. I would think they would have every bit as much interest in ensuring fair, fraud-free elections as non-minorities.

    It is sheer common sense that our election authorities should demand proof of the identity of all voters before allowing them to cast votes that will ultimately determine critical decisions affecting the future of their state and nation. I don’t remember ever being allowed to vote, by the way, without presenting an ID, even though the precinct workers know me and I know them. This isn’t the least bit offensive, but even if it were, it wouldn’t justify jeopardizing the integrity of elections.

    Political correctness causes people to adopt absurd and indefensible positions, which is precisely how we should characterize efforts to resist voter ID laws.

    Obama, Holder and the Democratic Party establishment don’t even bother to counter the irrefutable argument that proof of ID is essential to reduce voter fraud. Instead, they just throw out the slanderous allegation that the GOP is trying to suppress the minority vote, which itself is born of the same type of categorical judgment about groups of people that lies at the heart of the sin of racism.

    I am not a big fan of so-called bipartisanship, because I think it’s a one-way street for Democrats, who only demand it when they want Republicans to cater to their demands, and not the other way around. I’m also realistic enough to recognize that today the parties are so far apart in their goals for the nation and the means to achieve them that we’re just better off presenting our alternative cases to the people and letting them decide. But if there were ever an issue that screams out for bipartisanship, ensuring fair elections by verifying the identity of voters would have to be at the top of the list.

    The administration’s cavalier dismissiveness about the need for voter identification to improve ballot security has been exposed as the cynical fraud it is with the recent release of a video from filmmaker James O’Keefe. The video showed how easy it was for O’Keefe’s associate to check in as Eric Holder in Holder’s polling. The video showed how easy it was for an associate of O’Keefe’s to check in as Eric Holder in Holder’s polling place without presenting identification, though he neither signed the poll book nor proceeded to cast a ballot. The poll worker, who obviously didn’t know O’Keefe, much less Eric Holder, didn’t even want to be bothered with the presentation of an ID. “As long as you’re in here and you’re on our list and that’s who you say you are, we’re OK,” he said.

    It’s outrageous that Holder is accusing Republicans of wanting to suppress the minority vote through these laws. But it’s not outrageous to suggest that Holder and his party, through their specious invocation of the race card to oppose these laws, have no legitimate basis to oppose them and indeed must have an ulterior reason for doing so — one that involves rigging the election process in their favor.
