I hope you are correct but, with present polls showing that Romney has 2% of the black vote, he may get more votes by speaking in the cemeteries in and around Chicago. After all, many of those people still vote.

:thatsfunn LOL, have to give you credit on that one. That's funny right there, I don't care who you are!

Eric Holder is not concerned in the least about the fraudulent, 'ghost arm' of the democratic base. At least somebody associated with this administration is transparent, even wispy, as their votes will all help his boss, LOL. He's VERY concerned however, about even the most cursory attempts to confirm the identity of folks coming to the polls to vote in national elections. Igniting suspicion, with his thinly veiled charges of voter disenfranchisement (all of them democrats, of course). Speaking with a mouth full of guile, in order to create doubt in the minds of voters about the integrity and intent of polling officials, who more closely resemble your aunt or grandmother, than the black suited g-men with dark glasses, lurking in menacing fashion at polling stations in an effort to intimidate would be voters.

ARTICLE--- US Attorney General Eric Holder, appearing Tuesday before a national NAACP convention in Houston, compared a controversial Texas voter ID law to an illegal poll tax and vowed to continue aggressively enforce voting and other civil rights laws.

“We will not allow political pretexts to disenfranchise American citizens of their most precious rights,” Mr. Holder said to the cheering crowd.

The attorney general, who was recently found in contempt of Congress by the GOP-led House, has been at the forefront of an Obama administration strategy of challenging efforts by Republican-controlled state governments in areas of voting and immigration.

The attorney general’s comments came as a panel of three federal judges in Washington heard testimony in the second day of a weeklong trial to determine whether the Texas voter ID law violates the Voting Rights Act.

The 2011 Texas law requires would-be voters to present government-issued photo ID to cast a ballot. Texas officials defend the law as an effective deterrent to voter fraud.

A number of minority groups opposed the law, and the Justice Department blocked the measure, saying it would have a discriminatory impact on minority voting rights.


Here we go again, bowing to the compaints of some minority group. Question, how did the Justice Department get so much power? They serve basically a cabinet function and are the federal government's version of the FBI. How did the police department wind up with enough horse power to override the sovereignty of the State government of Texas? There's so much federal usurping going on right now, I doubt if anybody could keep up with it all.

In yet another scadalous irony, a man who himself is near indictment for illegal shenanigans of epic proportion, is out wreaking havoc on every state in the union to pass and enforce their own laws. The concept of state sovereignty is the center piece of our founding father's vision of a nation governed for the people by the people. Like I have said before, we are engaged in the process of handing over all our hard earned freedoms, to folks we barely know. A guy Indonesia, and his college secret society buds.
