The technique is to accuse those who oppose you of doing exactly what you are doing (voter intimidation, voter fraud, trampling on rights and liberties). They then reinterpret the Constitution to create rights that don't exist etc.. The socialist propaganda machine is in full throttle, and aimed squarely at the 2012 election cycle.
This is where the Republicans are weak. They don't talk enough about freedom, liberty, or free will. They don't talk about how big, expensive, and oppressive the government has become. All they have to do is start pushing that message. Who can disagree with it other than the 30% radical socialist/communist left who DOES want a dictatorship, and what could their rebuttal be?
The Republicans allow the left to set the agenda. This is why they're considered useless or spineless. It's time the right started setting the agenda, and forcing the left to follow. Get out there! Speak up! Go 24/7! Get rid of Oboma care. Get rid of Obomabulbs. Bring back Welfare to Work so the wealth can share itself. Bring people up rather than tear them down. Set then lose rather than tie them up in chains.
