Conservative admits no voter fraud
And where did that awful Raptor say that black people shout about racism all the time?
It's your boy Kraichgauer that keeps doting on racism.
Sorry. You were talking about it with them though. Plus, I am not accusing you of anything either. Just seemed like that was where it was going to go.

I guess Kraichgauer needs to remember that black people aren't as concerned about racism as politicians are or make it out to be an issue. They joke about it. Seriously, I can joke about them being racist about white people! I've had a black person say I'm a real brother now.
*Why can't we be friends, why can't we be friends....?"
Seriously! It is a problem, yes, but not all the time.

Race in this case is incidental to class, as none of the laws in question contain anything racially specific. Or do you really think the GOP is so intrinsically racist that it's trying to disenfranchise black people simply for being black, as opposed to trying to lower the Democratic turnout across the board?
I won't deny that politics is a major motivation, but to say that there isn't an underlying racial component here is a mistake, especially since much of the voter disenfranchisement has occurred where Jim Crow was once the law. And, no, not all Republicans are racist, but there are obviously enough who are, as these laws had been enacted.
And from your post, you seem to concede the GOP's shenanigans in voter suppression, in regards to keeping Democrats away from the polls.
You've got no proof of it, though, and can't rationalize it past "well, it's in the south so it must be bad".
No proof? Plenty of evidence had been presented in past posts by myself and others. Now, I'm afraid I'm going to be a little too preoccupied to reiterate said evidence - besides that there has been a history of past discrimination from the long ago to the not so long ago - as I'll be watching WWE wrestling.
Proof of RACISM like I bolded for you. Left wing allegation of racism via voter ID laws is not proof or even evidence.
They weren't condemned or closed as the result of vandalism?
Let the record show that you brought the term "black district" into this. Having established that, let's point out that those districts tend to be rather run down so closing any building due to vandalism (very common in said districts) or one or more other actual legit reason would not be uncommon and hardly unfair. I say this since I live about three miles from such a district and I know some of the things that go on there.
Or are you trying to say carry permit which is a different animal? If so, then the carry permit is a more in-depth state issued licence while a college ID is school issued and has little use off campus.
Are you saying this never happens to white people?
Funny how you can slam NASCAR like you did here http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt225502.html but admit to watching WWE or whatever.
The reasons given for closing down those licensing offices was justified for budgetary reasons. Which is a bunch of crap, as offices in other districts weren't also shut down.
As for polling places being closed - it was another brave Republican in Florida who conceded after the fact that voter suppression was the intent, though he admittedly said race was not the issue.
As for whites being excluded from the vote - of course, the Republican establishment doesn't want poor whites voting, either.
Incidentally, the issue of race was introduced from the very start of this thread, so I admit I was focusing just on that when I should have been saying all along that poor people of any race are being disenfranchised.
And as for your later post bringing up that I'm "your boy" who keeps bringing up race - well, I will when I see it as necessary.

Unless Kraichgauer is black, there was nothing about them shouting about racism.

Nope, I'm largely of German extraction, and last time I checked, Deutschers are white.

Whether they are or not, I am when I see an injustice. Just as I'll fly off the handle if someone is discriminated against for being a Muslim, or being of Serbian ancestry, or for being poor, etc.

I said the budgetary reason given was crap. Take it up with your pal, the governor of Wisconsin.
And sure, this "brave Republican said race wasn't a factor - but that voter suppression was the intent. Still, does that make any sort of voter suppression right? Incidentally, he said his party leadership didn't expect the people they were aiming to cheat out of a vote to actually stand in line for hours and hours at the limited number of polling places just to exercise their constitutional right - but they did.
And I'm not your boy?!?! Aw!
And by the way, pro-wrestling might be brainless fun, but it's brainless fun for people from all walks of life. And in their skits (which no one in their right minds believe is real), racism and homophobia are taken on and vilified, much to the adulation of the wrestling fans. Hardly sounds like the solidly conservative NASCAR fan base.

Crap isn't a reason.
Why are you so down on Wisconsin and Florida? I doubt you've been within 1000 miles of either. By your own admission, you've hardly been anywhere.
Voter suppression is not right.
Suppressing other rights isn't right, either.
I'm still waiting for convincing evidence of racism.
No, I believe I implied you were someone elses' boy.
Are you implying that NASCAR is racist and excludes non-whites?
Btw; I'm not a NASCAR fan.

Er, no, I'm not implying NASCAR is racist, I'm just saying pro-wrestling - which also pretends to be a sport, but doesn't take itself nearly as seriously - attracts a wider variety of people who can appreciate skits that are down of racism and homophobia.
As for Florida and Wisconsin - no, I'm not down on them. Rather, I'm down on the right wing mob that has taken over the state governments there, and have enacted draconian laws against the poor. By the way, Scott Walker looks like a cross between the leader of the Heaven's Gate cult, and a carnivorous python - and medicare fraud that he is, he fits with the personality of both.

"Racism and homophobia, racism and homophobia, racism and homophobia", the cheapest parrot can be taught to say that over and over. Is there anything else in your vocabulary?
With numbers like that why do you care what goes on within the state lines, not that anything really does? You don't live there but you'll still benefit from the electoral votes they bring to the national elections.
What's that old saying about not looking a gift horse in the mouth?

Where did anyone refer to ball pythons or snakes in general?
Ball pythons are sweet? I've never tried one but I've had fried rattlesnake, though. Not what I'd call sweet but still decent.

Kraichgauer mentioned Scott Walker looks like a python.
I won't eat snake,like you won't eat dog,no matter how succulent it looks.
I watched a doc on dogs being served as food in Asia,I don't recommend you watch it.I don't see any difference between my dog or snake,both would prefer not to be eaten.

I care about what's going on in those states - and others - because my fellow citizens are given a raw deal because they lack monetary or political power.
And if I parrot homophobia and racism, the same thing can be said about you and gun rights.

Dogs are domestic animals with a long history of human companionship, rattlers are neither.
I used to joke that I wanted to try using of my dog's legs and make schweinshaxe with sauerkraut out of it.
