Barack Obama is using a lawsuit to suppress the military vote in Ohio, a key swing state. A state law allows for an extra three days of early voting in Ohio for members of the US military, including National Guard and reservists. The Obama for America campaign, along with the DNC and Ohio Democrat Party filed the lawsuit to overturn the law, which was meant to compensate for military voter disenfranchisement that has been chronicled the last three elections. So, once again, the Obama administration is attempting to stack the deck for the elections, hoping to be able to throw out as many military voter ballots as possible. Just another day in the Obama ′War on America.′
Obama is indeed at war with America. He is at war against Capitalism. War against religion. War against Catholics. War against Women. War against small businesses. War against oil. War against coal. Obama is now even waging war against school discipline! An executive order Obama signed last week will attempt to force schools to raise the threshold required to expel or discipline black students while lowering the threshold to expel or discipline white students.
How tragic our national politics have become since Obama took office. The shameless Obama thinks he can do whatever he wants. His goal is to destroy America, reducing our great nation into a wasteland. Luckily, America is fighting back! The Chick-Fil-A episode this week shows that the country is ready to give Obama the finger. Millions of Americans, including Blacks, Hispanics and Muslims, all oppose same sex marriage. Is it any coincidence that the Barack Obama campaign is raising less money lately since he changed his stance on gay marriage? No! America has had enough! Come November, Obama will be voted out of power and then we can start to recover our morality and common sense.

Well played. The point is to win, is it not?
August 4th, 2012 at 8:11 am
Thats funny Buzzbee…
thats the same thing they tell our troops.
I mean hell, if you’ll throw out a baby you dont why not throwout votes you dont want ?
Even if that voter volunteered to save your life.
Schmucks do this in some way at every election because they know75% of the troops are registered replicans
August 4th, 2012 at 8:14 am
replicans ?
August 4th, 2012 at 8:25 am
It’s an atheist’s view of the world to win at all costs. If you kill a million people in war but only lose 900,000 of your own, they consider that a win because there is no offsetting moral foundation that values life.
August 4th, 2012 at 8:56 am
You really need to get over that delusion, Patrick.
August 4th, 2012 at 9:39 am
Not really a delusion if you look at the way Islam has been has been radicalized.
Theres no God for those ass holes.
Just a perverted proxy or tributary religion thats essentially vacant of morals to humanity, and only their ass-hole peers to answer to.
That makes them no better than believing in nothing other than an ideology that dictates all or nothing.
Even if you and your wife and kids have to blow themselves up.
Life is meaningless to them.
They don’t want any spiritual satisfaction.
These hypocrites just want all non-conformist out of the way so they can rule women and children without any hassles for crotch gratification.
August 4th, 2012 at 9:41 am
On topic, these people will suppress an entire hemisphere of their vote, or even an election.
August 4th, 2012 at 10:01 am
Mick,
Resorting to extremes doesn’t resolve anything. I could do the same and say “Well, if Christianity is such a great vehicle for good moral alignment, then why do so many Catholic priests molest little kids?”.
Patrick continues to imply that if you’re atheist then you have no morals, which is patently false. Ignorance at its finest. If you grow up having parents with good morals and they teach you that, then you will probably have good morals yourself. It has nothing to do with religion.
I’m actually a good example of this. My goal is to leave the planet a better place than when I first got here. It’s hard to make a huge difference, but I do what I can. I sponsor children in Africa, I donate my time developing software for a non-profit, which has done FANTASTIC work – getting money to families that need it, I donate to Children’s Hospital, hell I even donate time every year at a local church, wrapping presents for needy children. I try to do what I can for the planet as well, and it has nothing to do with “gerbil warming”, I just think pollution is gross, so I try to minimize my own footprint. I commute to work (22 miles round-trip) by bike every day, I recycle, and I try to leave places a little bit cleaner than they were when I got there. If I see garbage on the street when I’m riding my bike, then I’ll pick it up, toss it in my backpack and throw it away. Of course, many Republicans will think I’m some flaming liberal because I actually care enough to clean messes, but that’s not the case – I don’t like my house to be trashed, same with the planet I live on, so I do what I can to minimize it.
August 4th, 2012 at 11:04 am
This is a complete and a total lie.
Republicans in Ohio passed a law to RESTRICT early voting three days before the election to ONLY military personnel. 300,000 thousand Ohioans signed a petition to vote on having this law overtured. Rather than face this referendum, the Republicans overturned the law, but it is still in effect due to a technicality. The Obama Administration is suing Ohio to fully repeal the law, AND ALLOW EARLY VOTING THREE DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION FOR ALL OHIOANS, INCLUDING MILITARY PERSONNEL, WHICH IS THE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOVE.
This is what we get from the right wing, and even on Fox News, which is supposed to be a “news” network: complete and total lies. Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. This is all you do. Then you repeat your lies over and over again, trying to turn something that’s false into the truth.
But there is such a thing as truth, and you just heard it.

Snow;
“Resorting to extremes doesn’t resolve anything. I could do the same and say “Well, if Christianity is such a great vehicle for good moral alignment, then why do so many Catholic priests molest little kids?”.
Yeah, you can distort any religion.
Islam is the easiest to do this with.
Bottom line is, I dont see todays Christians running around blowin up innocent people and and calling it religion.
Its not a question of morals.
Its a question of who or what are you accountable to for fckin up.
I’m not a fckn nut but I do believe monitoring and judging ones self is just a little too convenient.
Of course my spiritual beliefs are far past that of the norm and are based more on Karma or state of mind on your death bed.
I want as little guilt as possible when I croak.
To believe theres something more powerful in an infinite theater that could be reason for our existence is not crazy.
I’ve seen hundreds of Atheists understand my explanation look outward and stay sober.
They do not have to commit to anything but the idea there is a higher power.
If anyone believes that in that infinite vastness theres not existences and life forms our minds cant conceive they’re flat out stupid.
Religion is behind some of the worst in history. But responsible for the progression humanity has made so far in so many good ways its not funny.
If American Christians flew into the towers you can bet your ass other American Christians would hunt them down.
Muslims, radical or not,…not so much
But its not religions fault
August 4th, 2012 at 1:29 pm
KLO, STFU
It snot the first time your party pulled this sht.
And heres your other problem;
“AND ALLOW EARLY VOTING THREE DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION FOR ALL OHIOANS,”
I suppose Ohioans ballots take 3 days to get here ?
You guys are fullosht
August 5th, 2012 at 4:53 am
Replicans, Micky? Think you’re watching “Blade Runner” once too often.
August 5th, 2012 at 4:59 am
Yeah, GOK, I’ll bet half of those 300,000 signatures on the petitions gathered by SEIU and whatever reincarnation of ACORN exists in Ohio are erroneous.
The Ohio law is mainly geared to give military personnel, as well as other Ohio citizens living abroad, some extra time to get their ballots in from overseas. So your argument is false as it does cover ALL Ohioans (who serve in the military and or live overseas).
August 5th, 2012 at 5:02 am
Snow and Buzz,
The real delusion are those nutty Liberal Progressives like Ted Turner who think Earth would be better off if the human race were reduced to 500 million or less.
August 5th, 2012 at 5:27 am
Earth would be better off with only myself and ten large breasted Asian women.
Somehow that makes more sense than Ted.
Its 2:40 am here.
Why the fck is this ass hole cranking his cars sub woofer ?
Excuse me, I’ll be right back.
August 5th, 2012 at 5:34 am
Fcker woke up my wife. She said stay inside. Anyone that stupid might shoot you.
Why do I get up so early ?
Because by the time my sun comes up you’re all in church
August 5th, 2012 at 8:49 am
“The Ohio law is mainly geared to give military personnel, as well as other Ohio citizens living abroad, some extra time to get their ballots in from overseas. So your argument is false as it does cover ALL Ohioans (who serve in the military and or live overseas).”
You are not listening. The situation as it stands now in Ohio is, only military personnel have the three extra days to vote. This is a CHANGE from before, when ALL Ohioans had the three extra days. The Obama Admin. is suing to RESTORE the three extra days to EVERYONE, not to take anything away from the military at all.
It was the Republicans who changed the law. It’s pretty easy to see why. The Republicans are doing everything they can to disenfranchise certain classes of voters. The military tends to vote Republican; old people, poor people who might have trouble getting to the polls, are more likely to vote Democratic.
It is unconstiutional to allow only one class of voters the extra time to vote. The Constitutional says everyone has the right to vote, every American citizen, and to do anything to restrict this, like changing the law so only military personnel get the extra time to vote, and not all Ohioans, is unconstitutional.
Fox News put up a story that was a flat out lie, the story that you are parroting here. They said the Obama Admin. is trying to take the extra time away from the military. This is not true. Just the opposite it true.
But, like the great man said, “What is truth?”
August 5th, 2012 at 10:27 am
“You are not listening. The situation as it stands now in Ohio is, only military personnel have the three extra days to vote. This is a CHANGE from before, when ALL Ohioans had the three extra days.

Yeah, we got it.
But you never explained why non military Ohioans need three extra days.
“It is unconstiutional to allow only one class of voters the extra time to vote. The Constitutional says everyone has the right to vote, every American citizen, and to do anything to restrict this, like changing the law so only military personnel get the extra time to vote, and not all Ohioans, is unconstitutional.”
Gee, I’m in Hawaii.
We have a huge military complex here all mostly deployed.
So, only when civilian Ohioans dont get the three extra days its unconstitutional ?
You’re an idiot, and fullosht
August 5th, 2012 at 10:30 am
“You are not listening. The situation as it stands now in Ohio is, only military personnel have the three extra days to vote.”
And thats how it should be nationwide since their ballots are snailmailed
Interstate mail takes a day, or the ole geezers can do an absentee ballot
August 5th, 2012 at 12:18 pm
@ GOK
“It is unconstiutional to allow only one class of voters the extra time to vote.”
Ahh! So every time some group of Democrats in a major city keep their polling places open longer than the rest of those in a state, they are not violating the Constitution by giving some citizens extra time to vote?
August 5th, 2012 at 2:08 pm
BUT THE LAWSUIT WILL NOT IN ANY WAY CHANGE HOW THE MILITARY VOTES NOW IN OHIO!
It is as simple as that, and to say otherwise, like you have, is a lie. The Obama Admin. is NOT attempting to restrict the military vote in Ohio. It is just not true.
August 5th, 2012 at 4:05 pm
KLO, you ignorant slut.
I told you this wasnt the first time you creeps pulled this crap.
Stop calling it a lie.
Any fckin idiot knows how viable Ohio has ALWAYS been to any election.
Right now, live (taped) Axelrod said it himself to Chris Wallace “why shouldnt Ohioans get the same opportunity as the military ?”
So, you’re saying its unconstitutional when Ohioans dont get the same extra three days as the military ?
The military has “always” had this privilege as far back as the civil war.
Everyone else had to make it to the polls on election day.
“Republicans traditionally have had the lock on the military vote, and with Ohio being a key battleground state especially this year — Obama leads GOP challenger Mitt Romney there by only 6 points in the latest Quinnipiac University poll — these military votes could swing the Nov. 6 election to either candidate.
And as the Buckeye State is considered one of the key marginals, a victory for either candidate there could end up being the difference between taking the White House and losing it.”
http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/Ohio-military-vote-Democrats/2012/08/03/id/447552
=============================================
The civilian population in Ohio has always been a major factor so by allowing all of the civilian extra days does in fact suppress the military vote by offsetting it with a move that could allow for Ohioans more opportunity than civilians in any other state.
THAT! my friend is unconstitutional.
There are old, sick, disabled,absent voters in every state.
Ask yourself, why Ohio and not the whole country ?
Texas ? Arizona ?
In Chess, once you take your hand off the piece you’re moving, the move is complete.
Theres no do overs.
Barry initiated this crap and now its the 15 military groups turn by suing Obama for giving civilians in ‘one state only’ the same privilege as those who would die for you or are stuck in some cave in Borabotra.
Wise up, no ones lying except for you
August 5th, 2012 at 4:50 pm
Look, the title of this article is:
“Obama Suppresses Military Vote in Ohio”
That’s a complete and a total falsehood. The law suit does not seek in any way to change the no. of days that military personnel have to vote. It is not going to overturn any voting rights the military has right now.
The law suit seeks to give the same time period that military personnel have to all Ohioans, like it was before the law was changed just recently by the republicans. You can argue with whether or not that is cool, I guess, and that seems to be what you are doing, but the first part you cannot argue with. It is just not true. It is a Fox News lie, smear, whatever. Fox does this all the time. They invent some controversy, then harp on it and promulgate it all over the place, and after a while it does not matter if it is true or not.
It bothers me to see Mitt Romney buying into these things, however. McCain didn’t do that. It could hurt Mitt. Mitt needs to let someone else do the lying and the smearing, and hold himself above that. Remember Bush and the swiftboat smear? Bush never once endorsed it, just the opposite. He had no comment on it, and nothing but good things to say about Kerry’s military record. But Mitt seems more than willing to embrace any lie or smear or whatever, just fine, and that’s not good, I don’t think.
Let someone else sling the mud. Mitt’s not doing that.
August 5th, 2012 at 5:23 pm
Many of you sure do have a “religiousity” about your views.
Nothing can deter you.
Any story, episode, issue or event is political and there is a “right” and wrong, with wrong being anything that does not further the cause of the extreme right.
I suppose I should applaud your dedication, although it often appears to border on fanaticism.
Disagree and you will eventually be branded a liar (euphemism for an alternate opinion). It may take 60 comments to get there, but its coming.
Over the last couple of months I believe that Ronald Ward, Me, Klo and Snow Crash have all been branded as liars.
It appears that if an individual renders opinions that are not in “lockstep” with the rulers and minions on this site it is generally due to their dishonesty.
How strange that such a collection of liars has found themselves on this site. I suppose, given that evidence, that one can only assume that anyone that doesn’t ascribe to a far right view is most likely a person of questionable character that has a problem with the truth. They are often called a number of other names, many of them obscene, but liar seems to be the most prevalent.
What an amazing coincidence, people on the right are always truthful, while everyone else is less than truthful.
August 5th, 2012 at 5:41 pm
“Look, the title of this article is:
“Obama Suppresses Military Vote in Ohio”
That’s a complete and a total falsehood.”
================
HOW ?
Do the math.
1 million Ohioan civilians obtaining the same voting privilege of 10 military personnel overseas or on assignment does not suppress the military vote ?
==============================================
Once again.
“The Obama campaign was suing in the swing state of Ohio to block a law that extends early voting for members of the military for an additional three days. A fierce battle erupted, with Democrats (and a few conservatives) arguing that Obama campaign was simply trying to extend the military’s privilege to everyone else.”
Everyone else does not deserve the same privilege since they are not overseas or on military assignment, or risking their life to preserve the only form of democracy we have…the Electorate.
If you stand by your interpretation why not let everyone vote 3 days early and 3 days later ?
Because any semi informed idiot (which prevails on the left) knows that the right almost owns the military vote.
Who deserves to vote early/late ?
You and I ?
Or the sniper who sht n pi$$ed himself staying in the same position for 3 days ?
Or the covert op whos 6000 miles away having tea with members of the Muslim Brotherhood ?
ANSWER ME !!!!!
