Of COURSE—Russ Feingold is in a battle for re-election. Why WOULDN’T Hussein and his poodle Holder stop the military from voting?

LOVE reading that poem. As Louie Nye asked Elli Mae of the Beverly Hillbillies, “Do you like Kipling?”, to which Ellie Mae responded, “don’t know, I’ve never kippled.”

Adams addresses some of that problem in the latter part of the article, right after “Could Wisconsin have done something differently? Lots.”

I think Adams is saying the DOJ is dragging its feet in making states who are dragging their feet comply with the move act in several ways.

cip

The states haves to send the ballots whether a waiver is issued or not but if sent too late they may not be counted. WI says they’ll count them if received late but I don’t know a thing but what’s in this article. I have no idea about any actions that can be taken by troops, I’d bet none.

The waivers are issued by the Pentagon but it seems enforcement is up to DOJ and DOJ undermined the Pentagon on the WI waiver.

The states knew this was coming for months and months and some just sat back and basically said “no big deal,” we’ll get a waiver. If DOJ would take firmer preventative action they could force the laid back states to better comply.

There is another way for the military to “vote”, if this despotism persists.

This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, the Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, warned the United States that if Arizona’s Immigration Law is not repealed, Taliban authorities intend to cut off America’s supply of Convenience Store Managers and possibly Motel 6 & Super 8 Managers.

And, if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by DELL and AOL Customer Service Reps.

Finally, if all else fails, they have threatened to send us no more candidates for President of the United States!

Folks, it’s gonna get ugly!

I think we need a redo of Caesar’s return to Rome with his legions.

Thank you very much.

This is a battle Christians and Jews and all NON-muslims of America had better win.

Losing is not even an option.

There is one problem with this law, it is that a few states hold their primaries a week or so before or after the 45 day limit day. Thus it is not possible for the states to send a final ballot to soldiers 45 days before the november election date, because the primary elections have not been held, selecting who will be on the November ballot.

When state law conflicts with federal law, state law is overridden.

If state law specifies a primary date which makes it impossible to comply with federal law, then the primary date must be moved early enough that compliance is feasible.

This has to be the most lawless president ever. He just spits on the Constitution, and what the heck are the Republicans doing? I hear nothing but crickets...

AMEN! Republicans should be screaming on every one of the out and out abuses of the law as a chorus, sadly only a few are.

True, but I was thinking about some more senior members of the military who have more organizational clout.

When they take away your right to cast a vote because you are fighting for your country then its time to be thinking about fighting an altogether different enemy, CM be damned

It begs a question: WHY THE HELL AREN’T WE USING OUR OWN?? ARE WE MAD?

I think it ANSWERS that question, Dick. They pw3n us. Get used to it, kuffir.

In reality, they own our government and they THINK they own us too. They don't BEGIN to understand America.
