The tax id laws are for both BLACKS AND WHITES. If that is the case, why didn't anyone answer my question about Penn. id laws, that were delayed or reversed by a judge? What! The Penn. House leader was only joking, when he said that they just gave Penn. to Romney. Guilt by Silence. You couldn't answer the question, because there was only one answer to the question, inner city blacks were the target of Penn. new id law. Period the end.

So, I misunderstood the statements about Al Sharpton; therefore, my statements about Al are misguided. Republicans do actually like Al. Well, they have a really funny way of showing it. "All" the posts. Seriously.

"All" of the history of the Democrat party is they call Republicans racist. Someone was quick to point out the Democrat party was started by Southern racists. If that was the case, all Republicans should have flocked to the Democrats from day one. Two peas in a pod.

No! The motive of the posts was to ignore reality. Never ever, listen to someone of the other party, because it is a sign of weakness. The new voter id laws are directed against blacks. You can't argue otherwise. Unless! Maybe just maybe someone should have thrown out there that the new tax id laws were directed against people that have a history for not voting for them. It is a lot easier to stop them from voting than it is to address their needs. Stopping voter fraud was the selling point to convince themselves, and their followers that they were doing the right thing with the new voter id laws. That is not too hard to understand.

Stopping voter fraud had not been a big issue in the past few decades until a black man ran for president. These voter ID laws put in place by various states certainly backfired big time against them as Barack Obama won two back-to-back landslide victories. Nothing drives voters to the polls more than being told that they are not welcome.

How are republicans going to keep women from voting in the 2016 election? Will they try to repeal the 19th amendment?

Ah yes the claims of success.....post game that is.

A bunch of people running around shooting arrows into a wall....runnung up and painting a bulls eye around the arrow....then puffing up and claiming to be the most accurate shooters in the game.......

Such a joke....that too many accept.....

I do agree with your post. One small point, it was President Obama run for reelection that brought out the voter fraud nonsense. In 2013, the Supreme Court struck down pre-election clearance for changes in voter law changes in 9 states. Five of these states almost immediately went for the voter id change. The Supreme Court said the federal government could challenge vote id changes in any state in court, which they are doing.

How are they to stop women from voting in 2016? Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazi! Trey Gowdy's prosecution oops! "fair and balance" hearings into Benghazi is designed to stop Hillary from receiving the Democrat nomination. If she is not there, they don't have to worry about stopping women from voting. We all know that women are so stupid that they won't vote based upon issues. They vote based on gender. I going to pay from that wise crack.

Wasn't Trey Gowdy's prosecution delayed two or three months so the Republican dominated members of the hearing could gather all the facts before starting? It started just in time to try to effect the 2014 election. Surprise! Surprise! The prosecution intends to bring Hillary before them to answer questions. They are just going to wait until they have all their facts straight before calling her. That should be about September, 2016. Nice quick "fair and balanced" prosecution. Nothing will be leaked to the press to make Hillary bad. That is so un-American.

You are wrong about the arrows. When qualifying with a 45 hand gun in the National Guard, you had to qualify from 25 yards. If you hit the target from 25 yards, they call you Alvin York. When you went up to the target, you poked holes in it with the scorers pencil. Everybody qualified. It wasn't like we were ever going to use a 45. Cheating was a way of life that continues to this day. The National Guard was an equal opportunity employer. It accepted people from both parties, back in the day when getting along with each other was a crime.

Methinks you totally missed the point of the post.
And what prompted the subject matter in the one above???

I know what the point of everything the Republicans posting here have. Everything that a Democrat or Independent has to say isn't worth a damn. Anything that they know is right will never come up in their post. Always deflect. Always call the opponent a name to try to get him/her off their point. When you know are wrong, stop posting on the thread. Did I miss anything?

I am getting the feeling that the only ones with a brain on this board, are one liners that call people names, or use cute name in referring to the opposite party.

Just an inflammatory attempt by a troll to get an anti Tea Party smart alec comment. We can see right through you.

Even the pundits on Fox were trying to figure out to consequences if Trump ran independent of the Republican party. They seemed to think it would be a shoe in for the Democratic candidate.

Is Trump that vain? There is no way the GOP will have him as their President candidate and no way would he accept the VP slot on the ticket.

What is going to happen?

As someone who posted quite a bit on the old political forum and this new GUEST format forum, I honestly believe it is time to shut this down.

The HATE here is palpable and the posts have lost all reason.

I have strong opinions, but have tried not to call anyone vicious names, except in an effort to shut down their hate. AND THAT WAS WRONG TO DO.

Way back, a sharing of thoughts took place. No longer.

I believe it should be closed down. I certainly will GUARANTEE this time, I am done.

Some are coming on here to simply spread hate, and that is just scary.

To the Admin...thanks for the effort. Good luck to all, and to those who think this is false, I can only say...goodbye and good luck.

My wish for everybody is that they read a lot ON BOTH SIDES, and not just one, and that we all brush up on our comprehension skills. I also hope freedom for those, on both sides of the aisle, who are so party oriented it has trapped them and disallowed growth outside what a few wish you to think

I have been on here since 2007, and actually will miss it, but there is enough hate in the world without being exposed to more on a local forum with neighbors.

Trump is the clear favorite for a majority of Republicans because many of the Republican candidates are not living up to the Republican brand. the Republican Party worked to fund Export Import Bank which is nothing but corporate welfare, punted on the Obamacare fight, refused to defund Planned Parenthood, have attacked conservative members who stood up for Republican principles, refused to support a late term abortion bill, passed the buck on Immigration to the courts.

Further it is a mistake for the Republican National Committee to excluded any Republican candidate from the upcoming 11 debates. They did that in 2012 and we saw the results. The Establishment Republicans got it wrong and they will get it wrong this time

Trump may not be a viable candidate but perhaps this process will help shape him better. It certainly is going to shake up what has become a love fest to one of some open honest straight talking.

You can join Trump Troopers and you are not even asked to contribute.

Its a long way to the voting booth and anything can happen

Personal Best Regards:

Why all the focus on the impact of Trump as a third party candidate? He's been in the lead the entire way. Maybe instead of calling him names the other Republican should focus on the issues.

I'm an old white Republican and I'm voting for him.

Please refrain from the tactics that got the original political forum shut down....i.e. shut it down because.....

There just happens to be a few that are contrarian about anything and everything that is stated in opposition to what the support. Those few are nasty, inconsiderate and are noteworthy for their personal attacks and NEVER EVER addressing the subject being discussed.

This is a 100% opt in situation with a second layer of anonymity to protect users from harassment.

If you opted in and you do not like what is being said, the solution is not to shut it down. That is exactly the problem in America today the few antagonists scare away some ent folks who mean well (I think).
But to take away a forum that lets most of us try to discuss current events that will affect our lives now and in the future is only playing into the monority (not race) and partisan radicals who revel in disruption and cause people like you to throw in the towel. That is a win for them and a loss to the majority.

Just opt out or better yet, stay and participate and just learn to ignore the hate catharsis of the few.

Platinum level hypocrites. The ones who trumpet back what they do and say as the problem with those who do not agree with them.

What is Trump's position on the Export/Import Bank? On Obamacare? On Planned Parenthood? On late term abortions? He only speaks about building a wall to keep out illegal immigrants and bringing jobs from China and Japan. How will you do that Donald?

Trump said last week in Laredo that he is running as a republican, and he is leading in all the polls by double digits. It is difficult to run as a third party candidate, just getting on the ballot in all 50 states, and why should he? He is at the head of the table.
