Did Voting Restrictions Determine the Outcomes of Key Midterm Races?

[IrezumiKiss]

Will Zumi, Tubab The Wincer, Luke, and the rest of the PC racist Nazis come in to condemn Rob for exposing his sheets again? Just askin'.

Why you getting all sanctimonious for now?

This was ground covered a long time ago, Sgt. Schmuck. You were too busy enjoying BusyBody's and Koala's tag-team tongue action tickling your taint to notice, though. Bullshit you had no problem with when it was coming from them.

Deal.

Somewhat longer answer: No. The same rules and regulations apply to everybody.

If somebody does not learn the requirements for registering and voting, he or she should accept the blame for being disenfranchised, rather than trying to pass it on to the requirements. After all, there is no secret about them.

I am reminded of a 60 Minutes piece from the 1970s about a police chief who was ordered to let women join his all-male force, so he instituted a height requirement few women can meet, applicable to recruits of both sexes, and said, "You want equality?! Come and get it!"

It was the season of the republicans. Simply that.
In 6 years it will be the season of the democrats.
When you only have two choices they tend to take turns when they both win in the end.

Actually, in as little as two years.

From Wiki: "Among the senators up for election in 2016, there are 10 Democrats and 24 Republicans."

The Republicans have had this advantage for the last three elections. They were too far behind the Democrats 59-41 majority in 2010 to flip the senate. Plus they Christine O'Donnell'd themselves. In 2012 they had a smaller lead to catch, again many Dem seats in play, and should have taken the senate, but they Todd Akin'd themselves.

Finally, at the third try with an advantage of more Dem seats in play, they at last managed to gain a two, possibly three seat win.

It's statistically improbable that they get to keep it.

No.

They'll say, you talk to busybody and JBJ so we support racism too.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

not a chance in hell.

I've made it clear many times what I think of RubDownSouth and his bullshit.

You're not a Liberal woman. They love him; they think his racism is clever.

Like the racism we've seen in the last 48 hours directed at black conservative Republicans who ran and won against LIberal whites...

Short answer, no.

If you're white.

The longer answer is yes. It was even happening before Nov. 4th.

I wonder if vette's going to be able to provide evidence to show how the "New Black Panthers" were putting fear into white folks during this election.

Are you saying that a lack of height is preventing people from registering and voting? Or are you giving in to your racism and saying people of color are too intellectually inferior to be able to follow directions and register and vote?

By my calculations, after all the counting and recounting is over, the GOP lead may be as high as ten seats, 55 to 45, with the two Indy senators being counted as Dems. The last I heard, the counting was not complete in Alaska but the GOP candidate had a small lead. In VA, the incumbent Dem has a small lead, so close there is to be a recount and, in LA, the runoff is almost certain to be won by the GOP candidate over the Dem incumbent.

Again, patiently, the only people restricting voter turnout were the Democrats and their close associations with Wall Street and Big Bankers. You can talk all the class warfare you want, but then when you turn around and prove that all that big talk was just doodley-squat, of course the rank and file trooper is going to feel dejected and desert.

Then, when people who look just like them get elected and get torn down for their race and sex, then it makes the "war on" rhetoric look like a lie to because Republicans don't actually talk or act that way. It's the Democrats who use the language of hate and that just turns people off.

Obama was elected as a symbol.

Democrats, your next symbol better be pretty fucking over-the-top, or you're going to get shellacked again if you refuse to come up with a message that deviates from bitterness and division. You're really setting up the next Republican stooge to look Reaganesque by default.

Bring the pain, big boy. The odds don't look very good for you at all in Presidential election years.

I'm sure you'll be happy to retire your tired "nigger" jokes in favor of all those "cunt" jokes you've been savin' for Hillary since 2008.

4) Democratic territory has been reduced to the bastions of two core groups — black voters and gentry liberals. Democrats win New York City and the San Francisco Bay area by overwhelming margins but are outvoted in almost all the territory in between — including, this year, Obama’s Illinois. Governor Jerry Brown ran well behind in California’s Central Valley, and Governor Andrew Cuomo lost most of upstate New York.

Democratic margins have shrunk among Hispanics and, almost to the vanishing point, among young voters. Liberal Democrats raised money to “turn Texas blue.” But it voted Republican by wider-than-usual margins this year.

Under Obama, the Democratic base has shrunk numerically and demographically. With superior organization, he was able to stitch together a 51 percent majority in 2012. But like other Democratic majority coalitions — Woodrow Wilson’s, Lyndon Johnson’s, even Franklin Roosevelt’s — it has proved to be fragile and subject to fragmentation.

"An outrageous abuse of prosecutorial power for political purposes took place in Wisconsin, and now the perpetrators are saying, in effect, “Never mind” after the object of their vendetta, Scott Walker, was re-elected. In a so-called “John Doe prosecution,” midnight SWAT team raids were conducted, terrorizing conservatives, based on a legal theory that, after Election Day, is now termed “indefensible” by the very party that used it."

A quick review of GB topics from the last few years will prove that "bitterness and division" is not exactly confined to liberals.

This is true.

There has been some of that from Jenn and busybody.

However, unlike the Democrats, they are outliers and not the norm...

KO has four threads since the election trying to revive the fucking playbook of division and hate.

He's even outpacing busybody and Jenn.

with a two or three seat win I don't mean the distande to the Dem caucus, but the majority maginal. 50 plus how many?

My mistake though, the LA race was ticked for the Dem in the tally I read, and I missed Alaska.

Still, my point stands, the GOP has a real challenge to keep the Senate in 2016 due to maths, especially since a presidential race seems to favor Dem turnout more than midterms.

Nah, I don't think so.

If anything, he's a chillout version of you when you get on your cut & paste binges, except his source choices go beyond opinionated fluff and he attributes everything.

 

[zipman]

No.

Fiscal reality on the ground level, where Democrat turnout is focused so much more effectively than Republican 'outreach,' suppressed the vote. The turnout was also down in 2012. The politicians that the low-end street Democrat voted for with such pride and energy in 2008 actually did nothing for them, and in their view, everything for the very richest among us and every time he turns around, the community organizer is rubbing it in their face as he hangs, vacations and golfs with the very people that he vilified on his march to power.

If he had ruled like the great Muslim Kurdish leader, Saladin, in Egypt, then you guys would not be out there starting threads innumerable about how Republicans have no agenda, how they stole the election, how the Republican Party is having its last hurrah! (again) because white is a dying 'breed,' and how they elected token minorities who act and sound white in order to make conservatives comfortable with them.

Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
'Cause he's not authentic like me.
Yeah, the guy from the L.A. paper
Said he makes guilty whites feel good
They'll vote for him, and not for me
'Cause he's not from the hood.

See, real black men, like Snoop Dog,
Or me, or Farrakhan
Have talked the talk, and walked the walk.
Not come in late and won!

Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
'Cause he's black, but not authentically.
Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
'Cause he's black, but not authentically.

Some say Barack's "articulate"
And bright and new and "clean."
The media sure loves this guy,
A white interloper's dream!
But, when you vote for president,
Watch out, and don't be fooled!
Don't vote the Magic Negro in ...
'Cause ... [/tune]

Cause I won't have nothing after all these years of sacrifice
And I won't get justice. This is about justice. This isn't about me, it's about justice.
It's about buffet. I don't have no buffet and there won't be any church contributions,
And there'll be no cash in the collection plate.
There ain't gonna be no cash money, no walkin' around money, no folding money.
Now, Barack's going to come in here and ........

*squelch* [/tone][/voice]

By fiscal reality are you referring to:
1) Gas being below $3 gallon?
2) Stock market (Dow) at a high over 17,500?
3) Unemployment at 6%?

I largely agree with this guy, but how could he have missed L. A.? In addition, there are other Dem. bastions in Chicago, Denver and Oregon. Also MN, possibly because of the large Muslim population there.

Meanwhile, back here on Planet Earth, the stark reality is that Hispanics ("Fucking Mexicans" in Vettespeak) still favor Democrats by a 3:2 margin in off-year elections, which hasn't changed in 40 years. And the number is even worse in presidential election years.
