Republicans continue pushing their voting scams

Both the left and the right are problematic when it comes to that.

Yes, but it is the left who is in quicksand right now. If they want to get out they have to show some kind of tolerance to the religious right and not call them names. I'll give you an example right from my home state of Kentucky. Kim Davis (actually a Democrat at the time), the county clerk who did not feel right issuing marriage licenses with her name on them to gays because of the recent Supreme Court decision which came down while she was in office, was hung up to dry and put in jail by the intolerant left. Liberals enjoyed every minute of her jail time and tarred and feathered her and crammed their liberal values up her ass. Next election for Governor in Kentucky we threw out the Democratic Governor and elected a Republican Governor, one of the very few for Kentucky, and recently Republicans also took over the legislature for the first time in decades. Anyway, back to my point, when the Republican Governor took office, he made a small change to the law where country clerk's names were not on marriage licenses anymore and Kim Davis is still county clerk and her office is now issuing marriage licenses to gays without her name on them. Now the previous Democratic governor could have done the very same thing but he and liberals enjoyed shoving their liberal values up Kim Davis's ass and the rest of the religious right. In other words, they were completely intolerant to her religious beliefs when there was a simple solution available to all sides and all sides would win. Now Republicans own the governor's mansion and the state legislature, and that hasn't happened in decades. Perfect example of what has happened to the left around the country for being so intolerant of other's beliefs. It's their way or the highway.

Maybe things like gun rights or abortion became more important to them. Maybe the Democrat who ran in their district was much less appealing than his predecessor. One could go on and on...

So democrats didn't share their values?

It will be a major problem for you and your fellow sheep. You obviously want a one-party country like North Korea. (But hey, they have a fantastic voter turnout rate!)

Awww....that's sweet...you actually think your side aren't a bunch of simple sheep. How ironic, considering your little signature line.

Get over it already.

The American people have voted in Republicans. Overwhelmingly. At the national, state and local levels. Republicans that believe in the basic and rational fact that anybody voting should have a valid personal identification to show at the polls if they want to vote. Simple. They, We, do not like the idea of potential fraud in voting, we do not agree that it is just too much of a burden for anyone to get proper identification [ besides which, it is hard to live in America, if you are legal or not, without a valid ID], and...

If it affects one side more than the other, that side should get up off their backsides and help those of their own if they feel so deeply about it.

It is certainly not our problem to solve your problems.

Ever since the election the left has tried every trick in the book to overturn the election results. That indeed is sour grapes.

No belief to what I said. Just cold hard facts. Since the election the left has tried everything to overturn or disqualify the results and calling Trump an illegitimate president, right down to harassing the electors into violating their duty of voting for who the people elected them to vote for.

That's funny. What happened to, "when they go low, we go high"? Where's the high?

At least you admit you are a pig. The left's holier than though attitude has always sickened me. They only went "high" when they were in power. Now that they are no longer in power it is sling the mud just like the pigs they mock. In other words, the left is no better than the right.
