Obama sues to restrict military vote in swing state

Obama, in particular, likes to be seen visiting troops and photos taken with members of our military. So, why is his campaign and the Democrat party suing to restrict their ability to vote in the upcoming election?

[reasonisfaith]

To allow for the possibility that service members might have missed the normal deadline because they were busy fulfilling their duty.

Think of it this way:

individuals in military = pro American

Obama/Democrat Party = anti American

[reasonisfaith]

I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them are undercover Obama supporters.

Trying to pull the 2000 shenanigan again. They didn't want the absentee military votes counted in Florida in 2000.

Yes I agree, I sure don’t want to restrict the rights of service persons to vote. I think this needs to resolved by
expanding early voting rather than extending voting after the election days.

[reasonisfaith]

But there’s no discernible rational basis for your opinion.

[reasonisfaith]

There’s a psychology working on some of us that we might not be aware of.

We can’t stand Romney because he’s such a RINO. I can relate.

But then comes the part where we start to fool ourselves. We get so emotional about hating Romney that we start to make it part of our identity.

During the primary I said “I’ll never vote for Romney!” So today, no matter how bad Obama’s corruption gets, I think I can’t possibly vote for Romney because if I do I will contradict what I said a few months ago.

Somehow, we feel this will betray that which is most important—our pride. But this is a lie, just another version of the Big Lie.

Me? I’m going to keep my pride in check, and keep the focus on God and country.

a group of posters turns that around into why they won’t vote for Romney

After careful consideration, those posters refuse to compromise their conservative principles by voting for Romney.

Instead, they will compromise their conservative principles (to a far greater degree) by supporting obama's reelection.

It doesn't surprise me....

WHITE HOUSE INSIDER: “We Got One Last Chance Here To Make It Right”

But these Obama people…they are different. A whole other level. Never seen anything like it. There’s stuff I won’t ever tell you. Never. You don’t want that kinda knowledge son. You throw out a question like how many people been killed under Eric Holder? Sh-t…you don’t even know what you’r askin’. You got no f-cking idea how far these people will go to keep pushin’ this agenda of theirs. Everything I told you was coming – now it’s here. The dismantling of the American system. The drones, the race riots, the promises to other countries…the open borders, the destruction of our domestic energy productions, the Obama government at war with the Catholic Church…the massive inflation that is just perched above us waiting to fall down on all our heads…so much sh-t they got ready to fire at us. That second term…that’s their moment. Obamacare, the deficit…cities going under…military cutbacks…I can’t keep track of it all it’s going on so damn fast now. This election coming up – people better know…they ain’t messing around now. This is the real f-cking deal right here. Right now.

Are you always confused?

[reasonisfaith]

Only if I mistake postmodern thinking for the logic of traditional thinking.

[Average Al]

Why you waste time commenting on yesterdays posts is beyond logic too.

[reasonisfaith]

I didn’t mean to insult you personally. My intention is to elevate the truth—let’s not overlook the fact that this is the opposite of insult.

The truth of it is, I don’t see any rational basis for taking away the right of military voters to have extra time to get their votes in.

[PROCON]

[reasonisfaith]

Truth transcends time.

I’ve often commented on posts from years ago.

If there’s some internet “rule” out there saying we can’t reply to a post after 24 hours, then whoever made the rule will have to suffer with the fact that some of us don’t pay any attention to it.

[Average Al]

And my only point is I think this should be accomodated before the election rather than after it to minimize the
possiblity of vote stuffing once the totals are in as we
have seen in FL etc.

[reasonisfaith]

You’re in luck, friend.

The accomodation is complete—there is already a law allowing military voters three extra days.

There is no issue here, other than Obama trying to steal votes from the military.

[freebird5850]

Never heard of an administration that has sued so many times. What world are we living in?

[reasonisfaith]

Obama is the one who needs to explain his rational discernment.

Only in the mind of a president without morals can he steal the votes of his troops for the sake of his own political gain.

But there is more good news here—and please don’t overlook its significance. Obama himself is not forbidden to accept truth.

Obama and his supporters—from average voters to activists and presidential advisors—are made in the image of God. This gives them all access to Love and Truth, which will rescue them from the mire and the misery of postmodern relativism.

[Qbert]

The real voter suppression.

Sickening.

I understand the “o” has said they were willing to negotiate and let blacks in the military vote three days early.
