GOP voter fraud vs. Dem voter fraud

POSTED: Tuesday, November 6, 2012, 5:16 PM

GOP voter fraud in Pennsylvania: A systematic scheme to prevent tens of thousands of minority, senior and young voters from voting, and a campaigm to sew confusion even after a judge blocked the key portion of their law.

Democratic voter fraud in Pennsylvania: A mural.

Seems fair and balanced to me.

    Why were republican election officials sent home by democratic judges?

    I had a feeling that Romney was going to win, but this childishness from the JournoList confirms it for me. Are you Obama lickspittles going to remove all the R's from the Whitehouse keyboards, too?

    I'm surprised that little old ladies sitting at a table are able to intimidate our informed Democratic voters. Maybe that shows you something about our Democratic voters in this state.

    Simply unbelieveable to me that after 54 years and being out of that corrupt cesspool of a city for the last 30, YOU PEOPLE are still playing games like this. EVERYBODY should be required to have an ID card to vote, no exceptions. Ludicrous to think that I need one to buy beer, cigs, get on an airplane, or rent a hotel room for the night. Are you telling that none of these people in PA ever buy beer, cigs or get on a plane???? If something as trivial as that doesn't spoil their civil rights then voting and the privelege and importance that comes with it, makes it all the more reason why it should be the law. No Exceptions! And let's just conveniently forget the 200,000 letters sent down here to FL telling people (all Repubs) that they didn't need to bother going to vote since they were ineligible and their names had been taken off the rolls.....what a joke. You libs are the biggest crybabies and sore losers the world has ever known.

    All these storms are George Bush's fault. Bush caused them. I know that he did because everything that goes wrong is George Bush's fault. I want a community organizer leading this country.

    A polling place by law is supposed to be neutral, where no hints or intimadation of the voter can take place. I'd say a GIANT mural of Obama on the wall makes it NOT neutral. What don't you dummies get?

    Secondly, why were 75 legally credentialed Repub monitors forced out of those polling places they were assigned to? You know, if it smells bad, and it looks bad, it's probably bad. If you libs have nothing to hide, what's the big deal? Attytood, you are a friggin' joke.

    On the other hand walking into a local voting location with a big portrait of Obama staring you in the face with his 'Hope and Change slogans would intimadate the most reasonable person ....or voter.

    Will, there is no fair and balanced in Phila. It's either the Democrat's way or the highway. What kind of democracy is that? Not much if you ask me.

    Rufus makes an excellent point. I know that I'm always intimidated by paintings.

    Everytime I see that portrait of ol' George crossing the Delaware I look for a voting booth so I can vote for Washington.

    "Everytime I see that portrait of ol' George crossing the Delaware I look for a voting booth so I can vote for Washington."

    Lol. The outrage over this mural is comical when I heard ZERO outrage from these same people concerning the punk from Phoenixville who threw 1,400 voter registration forms (that we know of) in a dumpster.

    Is this a joke? Voter fraud has gone on for a long time in Philadelphia and its been committed by plenty of democrats. The city is run by democrats and look where it has gotten Philadelphia. Asking people to provide ID is not a systematic scheme to prevent people from voting. Dead philadelphians voting, now thats voter fraud.

    In my entire life I've never walked into a voting site with a mural of a candidate on the wall espousing his political ideology. What is this, George Orwell's 1984?

    I highly doubt anyone saw the mural and thoght "holy moley, I was going to vote Mitt, but now that I see that poorly painted mural on a cinder block wall, I've had a change of heart."
