Walmart says it will kill plans to build 3 new stores if DC wage bill passes

let's not leave out Teddy Cruz ... he's a Yale graduate! (Yale is O.K. when it's a conservayive.)

T. Cruz has nowhere near the social media following of R. Paul. On my old web-site, a very recent R. Paul story drew several hundred responses. Key to me was the volume of likes, which can be done without signing up for their Facebook, and even more dislikes, where you must sign up.
 
for example, in North Carolina that just passed the most repressive and dusgusting voter law in the country, I believe there is not even one documented case of voter fraud ...
Yeah. One legitimate citizen voter, one vote.

That will be very hard on Democrats.

I am shocked by that. A first term senator was outshined by a legend from the same state?

According to the state's analysis, about 115,000 registered North Carolina voters who cast a ballot in 2012, lack the kind of ID required by the law.

By comparison, 121 alleged voter fraud cases were referred to the state's district attorneys that year.


How is the North Carolina voter ID law more strict than that of Indiana?

Secretary of State : Election Division: Photo ID Law

North Carolina Voter ID Law Proposals Exist, Voter Fraud Not So Much

You must be mad as hell that people have to produce an ID to get their welfare, get a job, cash a check...

I agree ... Rand first ...
 
Hated him? Well, no not really that bad. The Radical Republicans were more pissed off that Lincoln wanted deport all those votes back to Africa.

Lincoln was a long way from being a Left Wing Liberal.

I did not say Lincoln was left wing or liberal, as you misquoted me. I did say he was a Whig, check your history and my post, and I did say he was Progressive, which has been defined by rightie radicals as someone who saved our National Parks, which he STARTED.

You called him a Progressive. We all knew what you were trying to say.

remember, there may actually be a price to pay for attempts at voter suppression TP ... it helped get out the black vote last election ... first time blacks voted at a higher rate than whites ... and last year or the year before was the first time more whites died than were born in the U.S. ... and over 50% of the population increase betwen 2000 and 2010 was Latina/o ... and you keep alienating YOUNG women ... the demographics clearly are not in your favor, so what's left? Voter suppression ... I understand .... but I don't think it'll work in the long run, and maybe not even in the short run ... we'll see ...

Are you ever on the right side of any issue? Have you ever done anything simply because it was the right thing to do? No? Thought not.

Keeping the vote legitimate may be the final thing that keeps a revolution from starting.
 
Yeah! Who needs those jobs!

You left out that these jobs raise the Federal deficit due to these workers qualifying for food stamps and other gubmit giveaways, making them the leaders of corporate welfare.

:lol: :doh So that is somehow the fault of all that employ low wage workers? :roll:

It seems to me that our congress critters, not Walmart or McDonalds made those silly income redistribution laws, as well as established the federal minimum wage. Simply playing by the rules is neither making nor breaking those rules. ;)

So, just put those workers on food stamps, outright. Right?

actually, strangely enough, this may not be an entirely bad thing ... first, it underscores the recognition by the right that they're in trouble if they can't suppress the vote ... Second, there are few things that piss off folks more than poloiticians trying to stop people from voting ... it'll help to mobilize the Dem base and will move some folks on the fence to the Dems ... so, I'm not as mad as I may appear ... disgusted, yes ...

Use the words that I use, progress----ive, not the ones you twist them into, whatever you are. T. Roosevelt oversaw the greatest era of progress in this Country, when National parks were saved from the regressive/isolationist wing of the GOP.
 
they both are and we'll see hpow this works for you all ...

Quite well I would suppose. The selective outrage is telling. It seems that the same folks that consider a valid, state issued, photo ID to be essential for buying alcohol, tobacco, firearms or ammo, to cash a check or lottery ticket or to get a job see no undue discriminatory burden at all with those other ID requirements. Only when folks are suddenly required to vote only once, only in their district/state of residence and only as themselves, in any given election, does this draconian ID requirement become an issue.

Wrong again misquoter. That's what rightie corporations like Wal-Mart have done, put people on food stamps. Glad to you see you're getting closer though.

Actually, Teddy Roosevelt was an actual Progressive.

do me a favor, give me a link of the cases of fraud that made these laws necessary. maybe voter fraud was very rampant and I just haven't seen the data. I can be convinced. But remember the GOP guy in Pennsylvania during the election? Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai (R) said “Pro-Second Amendment? The Castle Doctrine, it’s done. First pro-life legislation - abortion facility regulations - in 22 years, done. Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done."

And btw, how would you know the right side of anything?

IOW, put people on welfare, outright and do away with the revenue to pay for it, at the same time.

This is complete BULL$?!9. Why are you fright-wingers afraid of a National ID card? Why the phony gimmicks under the guise of the 10th/civil war amendment? You know why.

I'm burned out and it really doesn't matter what you and I think ... first we'll see what the courts say, and if these laws are allowed to stand, we'll see if it backfires on the GOP ... given the demographic changes taking place, voter suppression is all the GOP has ... you have to go for broke, and I think broke is what will happen in the end ... a new GOP will have to created, one more moderate, although still conservative ... the tea party and politicians kissing their asses have done some serious damage to the GOP ... we'll see ... good night everyone ...

Same content, same misquoting, same deceit, you want to eliminate the middle class, your policies put people on welfare, your congressional reps give billions in corporate welfare to their donors, you don't want to pay taxes so you can sabotage this POTUS's deficit
