Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans[W:466]

Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

LOL

A distinction without any real difference? Dang, don't let ideological hatred cloud reality.

All you have is delusional fantasy. The only thing the AG said was the buck stopped with the guy.

Enough said.

So in your world there is a difference between the buck stops here and responsibility? :doh:roll:

Do you also see a difference between the number six and eight minus two..... or three plus three ..... or half of twelve .... or five plus one.... or a half dozen .... or 24 divided by 4? :roll:

yeah - you said enough. and that was yesterday. :roll:
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

We're not talking about proof, we're talking about the motivation for his comment. Without proof, you attribute it to a gleeful suppression of the vote.

When were you appointed the spokesperson or psychological analyst for Mike Turzai? The guy was advancing a political agenda to benefit his party and said so pure and simple. Any supposed motivations you want to ascribe to him is just lipstick on the pig and changes nothing.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

Perfectly? If the real voter had decided not to vote this election, how would the fraudulent vote have been detected?

Lets deal with reality and history instead of hypotheticals.

This discussion should not be about one incident or even several incidents. The issue here is given the hundreds of millions of votes cast in this country does the level of voter fraud rise to the level where we need to adopt a system of voter ID given the risks involved and the already announced intent to use it to the benefit of politicians from one party?

This is the reality. Someone committed a crime by fraudulently casting a vote. The ONLY reason it was detected is the real citizen also tried to vote. If the system is working "perfectly", as you stated, how is that possible?
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

lol...

So your point is that 1 = 100. Brilliant.

My point is, as I've said several times, is that Southern ownership of racism is very debatable. I've posted several links to support my argument. Your pards have posted zero.

The system worked in the case you presented.

The over all system is not perfect in that it does not prevent all voter fraud. But a standard of perfection is a fools standard that humans and our human based systems which involve human behavior can never hope to achieve. The issue here is not one of perfection in all cases but rather given the hundreds of millions of votes cast in this country does the level of voter fraud rise to the level where we need to adopt a system of voter ID given the risks involved and the already announced intent to use it to the benefit of politicians from one party?

I've read the thread. Your position is to use a straw man to fabricate a false equivalence. 1 does not equal 100. There are racial problems everywhere. But to say that just because you linked to a riot in Chicago and one in Detroit, then all the sudden that is the same as hundreds of years of slavery, post slavery lynchings of blacks that dwarf those in anywhere not in the South, slews of Jim Crow laws, etc, etc, etc... it's a joke.

You are trying to argue away history with a "but he did it too" nonsense that is nowhere even close to equal.

Slavery had nothing to do with racism.

There lynchings all over the country.

How many black folks have been lynched in the past few years?

Like you say, you can't argue away history. ;)

:lamo

That's a new sig for me. Thanks!

Again, it's simple math... 1 =/= 100

No matter how much you want it to wash away everything with a sense of equality.

You said the system worked "perfectly".

My challenge to that is if the system was working, the fraudulent vote would not have been cast in the first place.

You seem to believe that the system works because the person who actually owned that vote chose to go to the polling place and the fraud was discovered.

My question is if this one was discovered simply by chance, how many other instances of fraud go undetected?

Ironic post is ironic.
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

A lack of knowledge is not something you should advertise.

I agree. Therefore I don't. By all means if you think:

Slavery had nothing to do with racism. -- apdst

Go ahead and attach your support to that sentiment here.

I give up - how many?
 
Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

I don't get your point? I was addressing racism. What you added benefits nothing to ending racism. Perhaps maybe you are justifying racism? I don't know.

You said there needed to be agreement that racism is a problem. I agree--racism is a problem, and not just among whites but all races, including blacks. So what else is new? Like the common housefly, I doubt it will ever be eradicated, especially as long as we make race an issue in this country.

My point was that racism was a bigger problem for blacks decades ago when a black man could only take a leak in a restroom designated for "coloreds" but he still somehow managed to marry, put food on the table, go to church, and raise and educate a family. Now the bigger problem for blacks is the breakdown of the black family. Blacks need to look there first if they want to solve a problem like poverty, and they should stop using racism as a cop out for lack of material progress or attainment.

meaning what exactly?

Really?

It means you are doing the exact thing you accused me of.

Re: Sen. Landrieu's remarks on race anger Republicans

Some people in the GOP can't deal with the truth. But in the future the truth will deal with the GOP.

'What goes around, comes around." No one can stop time, and/or change.

The truth is... most people who vote Demokrat (whether they be black, brown, red, yellow, olive or white) are ignorant and/or closed minded.

That's what happens when the press operates as a propaganda machine. You need total ruination for people to start to wake up... which some have obviously done. For others, like you, there is no hope.

Ignorance comes with heavy costs, and hopefully one day the black community will have leadership that points to the massive destruction the Demokrat Party and their idiotic policies have done.

When a block of voters, in this instance a block of a certain race, vote overwhelmingly for a Demokrat party that has done them great harm... there is a serious lack of thinking going on.

The truth is anyone who mis-spells Democrat as Demokrat is obviously ignorant and close-minded.

By assuming a motive for his comment while accusing me of assigning a motive to his comment.

Would you like me to explain this in smaller words? Are you truly blind to your own biases?
