The dems don't admit it, they hide beyond BS arguements of racism and whatnot.
every state to bring up voter regulations (i/e showing ID) has the inevitable battle waged against it various dem action groups.
just as incidious as your allegations of gop manipulation, if not more so

Bino, republican efforts to suppress votes is not controversial, its a fact. It's not even surprising. Politicians try to win. Republicans have better chance if they suppress minority, young and elderly votes.
ID requirements seem reasonable but the facts are this:

A survey by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law found that 11 percent of citizens, 21 million people, do not have a current photo ID. That fraction increases to 15 percent of low-income voting-age citizens, 18 percent of young eligible voters and 25 percent of black eligible voters.

You think evil geniuses like Carl Rove don't know this and won't try to capitalize on it?
No biggie Bino, Republicans are trying to suppress the vote. Get a grip on that.
The Deprtment of Justice already recognized South CArolia GOP voter laws at a vote suppression effort:

In its first decision on the laws, Justice’s Civil Rights Division said South Carolina’s statute is discriminatory because its registered minority voters are nearly 20 percent more likely than whites to lack a state-issued photo ID. Under the 1965 Voting Rights Act, South Carolina is one of a number of states that are required to receive federal “pre-clearance” on voting changes to ensure that they don’t hurt minorities’ political power.

Political Animal - Justice Dept. targets SC voter-ID law

The justification for the GOP efforts is voter fraud, and when I say it is a non-issue, you should know by now that I would never BS you. It is a non issue.

Five years after the Bush administration began a crackdown on voter fraud, the Justice Department has turned up virtually no evidence of any organized effort to skew federal elections, according to court records and interviews.

Fascinating plunkey. Now try to transition that into a point

having to chose between being ruled by the 1% or the dem-perma majority, i'd chose the 1% at least they provide jobs and a economy.
the dem perma majority would provide taxes, anti-white policies, and increased equal opportunity poverty

It is sad to see how so many people have been brainwashed to think that everything is ok by being ruled by the rich. Meanwhile, opportunities decrease, power to change things decreases, and the gap between the rich and everyone else grows exponentially. All the power in the country is held in the families of a few thousand people. 400 people have more wealth than 50% of the population. The Walton Family has more wealth than 90 Million people combined. You think you want the rich to rule you, but you don't.

They still have their bush tax cuts, where are the jobs.

Bush set the record for low job creation. Tax cuts don't work when revenue is already lagging expenditure and taxes are already at record lows. It doesn't work, and Bush proved it doesn't work. Unfortunately it is the only trick in the GOP bag. If you care about the deficit, don't vote GOP, as lowering taxes will just make it worse. You can't argue that because Bush already proved it.
Good point Ortiz.

Isn't it odd how many people only want *part* of the Bush tax cuts to expire? It always amuses me when a libtard talks about the need for shared sacrifice and the Bush tax cuts, then explains how they only want the cuts on the very top bracket to expire.

“Don’t tax you, don’t tax me, tax that man behind the tree.”
-- Sen. Russell B. Long, (D, LA)

Raising rates at the top is what makes sense and is what has historically worked. "The good old days" (30's, 40's 50's, 60's 70's, take your pick) Taxes for the top bracket were 60-90 percent, the country was stronger, people still had a chance for upward mobility,economy was strong, the middle class was strong, the rich were still rich. Progressive taxation is part of what made America great. This Right wing experiment to pander to the rich is a failure.

You can raise rates on the "wealthy" all you want but it doesn't change the trend line for fiscal collapse. As a matter of fact, allowing the Obama tax cuts on those making less than 250k a year will raise more revenue than allowing them to only expire on those making more than 250k a year. I enjoy the "wealth disparity" argument used by the progressives. You can reference my previous article about the benefits provided by employers accounting for almost an additional six dollars per hour for the average employee that isn't considered when they make arguments.

The feds historically get about 19% of GDP in income taxes no matter the rates...Hell, most people don't itemize because they don't have enough deductions to make a difference. If you want the rich to pay their "fair share" then you should support a flat tax, eliminate the double corporate tax (no capital gains) and modify the 16th Amendment to preclude deductions.

I am actually for the Bush tax cuts expiring because everyone will pay more taxes - not just the wealthy. Rememer - over 50% of the US do not pay taxes now. People who think the Bush tax cuts were a big break for a the rich have a huge wake up call coming.

Your 50% stat wouldn't change much if the unfunded Bush tax cuts expire. This talking point is also not true. Those people do pay taxes. They pay state tax, social security tax, sales tax and property tax. their federal tax is returned because of their low income level, and child and mortgage deductions usually.

There is probably nothing more grotesque to me about the Republican rhetoric than this villianization of less fortunate people as some kind crack smoking dirt bags, while you are all trained to be outraged at the suggestion of getting an extra buck from a multi millionaire. The median salary in this country is somewhere in the $40's, so those people who don't pay federal tax are for the most part hard working productive citizens trying to make ends meet. Many of them are republicans who regurgitate this hatred for half the citizens of this country, without realizing they are part of that half.

And who is leading this disgusting villianization campain against half of American citizens?
A big, fat, lying propagandist drug addict on the radio who makes 35 million dollars a year.
