Report: GOP Observors in Philly being Removed and Replaced with more Democrats.

Dude, don't just make up assumptions of whom I support. I support Obama.

Also, I think this scandal will help Romney. I am just pointing out that it is illegal to do electioneering in the polling place.

It was already there, that's not electioneering. Oops.
 
are you even familiar with the NBPP? This is like having the Klan "let people in" the mere presence of such a blatantly racist and prejudice organization creates intimidation

those guys are ****ing scum

Hateful idiots, but idiots nonetheless.

If the KKK wants to stand around in hot ass robes, more power to them.

Lets not pretend there aren't squads of Rep "poll watchers" out sweating Dem voters. Challenging voters and whatnot.

That could be considered i timidating as well.

Um.. yes it is. Or else they wouldn't have been ordered by the courts to cover it up.

That it was already there does not make a difference. Do you think it would be accepted by Democrats if Republicans picked a polling place filled with Republican advertisement and didn't cover it up.

Your hypothetical bears nothing here. If they did, does that make your position any more justifiable? "He did it, too!"
 
The subject WAS of Democrats breaking the law in Houston. Ironically, you missed that entirely. The subject wasn't about all the liberals who obeyed the law, the subject was those who were breaking it, and how you liberals just ignore it, like it's meaningless.

like you just did.....

What should embarrass people, is when Americans intentionally break the law, and other Americans ignore it because it helps them politically. Bill Maher doesn't embarrass you, the illegal activity of ACORN doesn't embarrass you. Obama's handling of Benghazi doesn't embarrass you. But then you have the nerve to try and lecture someone else on what should embarrass them! The audacity!

I can't wait for tonight.....

I REALLY get tjred of the false ACORN memes.

CANVASSERS were charged AFTER ACORN REPORTED THEM.

Oh, and they got jacked in NV for paying bonuses, NOT fraud of any kind.

Nonsense, there are dem poll watchers as well. Heck even the third parties have them. This is all about electioneering in a damn polling place. Murals of candidates are considered electioneering, period.

Your post makes no sense. As pointed out, they were ordered by the court to cover it up. That means not covering it up was illegal. That is the simple reality that neither you or Philadelphia democrats can't deny.
 
As for the name calling....I call it like I see it. Look up the word "moron". I'm sick of people who simply can't accept truth. In Houston, the NAACP was electioneering in a polling place. That is illegal. Instead of liberals saying, "ya, they cant do that", they go out there and try to change the argument to be about something else.

It's the law I'm speaking of. Either you respect it, or you don't. And in this case, this liberal wasn't respecting anything about the law. But trying to make the debate about "handing out water" for Christ sake. Either you liberals are the dumbest people on Earth, or you simply just try to change the subject to avoid any criticisms......

I stand by the law, and the law says that electioneering within 100 feet of a polling house IS ILLEGAL! Game over. That's it. They were breaking the law, and when told to stop, they refused. End of story. But watch, all you liberals will defend it!

Has any video been posted.

Since the advent of the smartphone i don't take this kind of thing seriously unless there is video.

"I saw a bad thing" is barely above fairy tales anymore.
 
Really? You're that in the bag for your "team" that you're pulling out stops to defend electioneering near and in the polls? You're sitting in front of a computer - you can easily find the definition of electioneering and some descriptions as to why it's illegal in EVERY state.

Whats missing is proof that they broke the law at all.

All we have is an article on townhall by a Rep operative.

Would you take Al Sharptons word o Media Matters?
 
Then maybe they should learn how to use the English language and state that. What they are saying is the painting is illegal. It is not my fault they are not saying what they mean and are responding to what they write.
The mural as a mural is not illegal. By citation of the Pennsylvania election code, it would be considered 'electioneering' having the polling location there. Which is why the judge ordered the mural covered.

All pretty irrelevant. I somehow doubt people would walk into a polling place planning on voting for Romney or undecided and then be influenced at the last minute by a big giant head. Considering the other antics going on in Philadelphia, Id say the mural is the least of anyones concerns.
 
Right, so this is not you?

Yeah that's an old post of mine. Views change, though. Would you like me to elaborate on my problems with Democrats?
 
This isn't a global warming thread so I don't want to get bogged down into some ridiculous denier argument....but modeling is math and is his predictions have been pretty spot on. Much more spot on than gut feelings contrary to polls and fairy dust.
Believe it if you wish. EVery model simplifies the system it is intended to provide us insights on. Mess up the model and you get mess back out. That is why his will fail.
 
It doesn't matter if anyone voted based on it. The mere potential that it creates, being present in a polling place, is all the justification one needs to cover it.

Yet why do i suspect you're fine with unlimited electioneering ads per Citizens United.

Why is high tech advertising before an election so much better than a painting in a polling place?

Influence is influence.
 
Uh, no. It's math. A mathematical model, specifically. I'm really sorry that you don't like the results. Just remember that it's not precognition or anything. It's just placing odds based on a bunch of statistics.
Math may be how a model is implemented. The math is not the model. And models are not reality. This one, specifically, is just a guess made with a level of precision but not necessarily one made with accuracy.

If his assumptions are wrong his guess will be wrong as well.
 
Like what you claim makes any difference versus this which DOES make a difference:

"RNC Caught Cheating Again - Forged Voter Registrations in Florida- more states to come
Submitted by Caardvaark on Sat, 09/29/2012 - 08:23

Daily Paul Liberty Forum

USA Today - September 28. 2012 - At least 10 Florida counties have identified possibly fraudulent voter registration forms turned in by a firm working for the state's Republican Party, election officials said today.

Problems first emerged earlier this week in Palm Beach County with forms turned in by Strategic Allied Consulting, which the Republican National Committee paid $3.1 million to register voters in Florida and six other swing states. Palm Beach prosecutors are examining 106 voter registration forms submitted by one Strategic Allied Consulting worker, some with apparently forged signatures."

RNC Caught Cheating Again - Forged Voter Registrations in Florida- more states to come | Peace . Gold . Liberty

Again, as with ACORN, this sounds like canvassers padding the registrations they turn in.

If so, they defrauded the people who were paying them, and there was never any i tent for those false registrations to result in actual votes.

Location, location, location.
 
I'll bet you feel exactly the same way about crosses in the desert erected over fifty years ago to memorialize some war casualties.

As for this painting - it is really irrelevant, but it is surely a violation of the law and if there were any pro-Romney material exposed there, the DEMs would surely be howling bloody murder. Heck DEMs yell about asking for ID before voting.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty liberal but have no problem with either of the memorial.crosses here in San Diego.

They were erected in a different time.
 
I voted this morning, had to show ID to people who know me, tell them that the address on the rolls and my license is still the same, which they also knew. There were a LOT of REALLY OLD PEOPLE there volunteering as poll workers. I am only 66, them old geezers can't intimidate me...
There was a few college kids there observing, as if grandma and grandpa might try to vote twice. Hardly an issue in Utah, most of our politicians are republicans..... conservative people vote conservative, it is as simple as that.
Nearly all our DEMS are in the SLC part of the state, where they feel safe from us conservatives....


Look here you whipersnaper, we can't trust the shenanigans you may have up your sleeve....:lol:
 
The court(properly) agreed the painting should be covered, and the lawyers for both sides where in agreement with that in discussion with the judge according to the ruling. The painting itself was not illegal and this is much ado about nothing.


Good grief, how dumb are we? Who in their right minds would think it is perfectly fine to have a giant mural of Obama with his '08 campaign slogan of 'Hope, and Change' along side of the "O" symbol (which BTW, they left uncovered) inside the polling place? I mean come on now.....Shameful.
 
I do think it should be covered. But I dont think it is a big deal.
