DEMS STEAL VOTES ....they corrupt the system without remorse or regret

[ClearCase_guy]

I’ve got pablum! I’ve got cliches! It doesn’t make sense, but it sounds good! I’m rolling!

[firebrand]

Now pretending that some people are not allowed to vote. Does he mean illegals?

[edpc]

Citizenship means everyone's right to vote?

Too bad he doesn't believe the right to vote means and requires citizenship.

[mylife]

Only people with money are allowed to vote?

You don’t say....

This new government bond will be the beginning of the confiscation of 401ks.

That's what it sounds like to me!

[Irenic]

Should be the power of the votes not the power of our bankaccounts for our democracy. Democracy??? That’s what he’s trying for.

I’m still missing Hugo Chavez, but I think I see a good substitute...

“Sotomayor is on her book tour probably”

I doubt that’s the reason she’s not there. I think that on certain issues she is going rogue. She’s good friends with Scalia, they go shooting together, how’s that for an enigma. I think he’s working on her to persuade her to be more right thinking on the law. At least I hope so. She just recently issued the stay in the Little Sisters of the Poor case. That must have ticked off the Obama Admin bigtime.

somebody let me know when I can turn my tv back on. It is not safe to operate it when HE is on all the channels.

[Political Junkie Too]

Must be. He was walking on the walls of an emergency room.

Guns - he’ll do it himself if congress won’t help, to make children/people safer from guns. Another pen thingy.

[Pajamajan]

Well there goes the second amendment.
