Regarding our new President... I gotta say I think it's very sad that his grandmother passed just ONE DAY before was elected. How sad that she wasn't able to hold on one more day.
While I'm not an Obabma fan.... I feel terribly sad for him.... her passing probably took a lot of the joy out of the day for him.
R.I.P. Madeyln....

Yeah, let's not forget how that same wonderful majority worked together with AMA and big pharma to shoot down a universal healthcare plan.What humanitarians.
Actually it was the Republican majority in Congress that did that. Bill Clinton reluctantly signed the legislation.
Being Canadian you should know that.

^^^ And you can just bet your bippy, that as we speak, Pelosi and Reid are in a huddle cumming all over themselves, trying to figure out a way to do exactly that.

I don't want the government watching over my children, because I don't trust them to do a good job.
I don't want the government watching over my life savings, because I don't trust them not to keep their hands out of them.
I don't want the government looking after my home, because I know they won't do a good job.

An exceedingly ironic statement coming from the likes of you.
What the two Black Panther wannabes did was intimidate voters while they were there. What other reaction would you have if you had to pass two guys dressed in such a manner, one wielding a nightstick, to enter a polling place on election day?
You don't have a problem with that?
You say they were both there an hour. Well that's an hour too long. Why did the thug with the nightstick leave? The cops showed up and told him he was breaking the law. The other stayed because he had a poll watcher certificate. I'm okay with that, dude can play dress-up if he wishes. But I am not okay the armed guy. The fact that you do not find the incident disturbing is disturbing in itself.
What if they had been tobacco chewing rednecks, one with a pitchfork? Or more accurately, as these clowns were in paramilitary garb like black militants, what if they were tattooed skinheads, one with a baseball bat and one with a poll watcher certificate? Something tells me your response would not be so offhanded.

Bullshit.
I have a healthy sense of self-preservation. And a scowling thug of any color wielding a nightstick is a threat.

If I were brandishing a nightstick you would not say that to me in person.
Who am I kidding? You would not say that to me in person if I were completely unarmed.

I have to side with Johnny on this. Thugs of any color have no place at a poll, unless they are there to vote, then they should stay in line with the rest of the voters and not intimidate the other voters. It is actually a Felony to intimidate a voter at a poll if one can prove it.
(And dont just let it slide: voter intimidation is a felony. File a complaint with the poll workers if your rights are being violated, and insist on your right to cast what is called a "provisional ballot." )

A nightstick is classified as a weapon, it should have not been allowed in a polling place. Campaigning is also not allowed within a certain distance of polling places, not even campaign signs. My bullshit meter is going off......

Since when has a law prevented a crime from being committed? Cannabis is illegal, but that does not stop us.
The law comes into play after the offense is committed.
You can read the CNN link yourself. I posted it previously.

So who was in charge of the polling place and why didn't they call the men with badges? You wouldn't smoke pot at the polling place would you? Hell no you wouldn't so that isn't really a comparable scenerio.
How do you know it's not just more republican lies? I seem to remember a "B" allegedly being carved into someones face, that was a lie. CNN reported that one too, before they knew it was a lie.

The comparison was meant to demonstrate that the law by itself does not prevent crime. It was perfectly appropriate.
If it was a hoax, we would have heard something by now, donchathink? CNN would publicize it, no?
After all, the "B" story sorted itself out pretty quick. Within 24 hours if I remember correctly.

and it's been less than 24 hours since some of the polls closed.
