Government Overreach In Florida

[wgrr]

Governor Rick Scott is a criminal and should be in prison.

He also did this:

His approval rating hovers between 25% and 35%. Who voted for this worthless piece of human flesh.

It is true that Scott has taken steps to remove Democrats from the voting roles, 135,000 plus, but he broke the rules. Now he needs to be spanked, but Holder is too much of a wimp to do anything. Do you see any banksters in jail? At least Regan threw a few in jail during the S&L scandal. No Bushies though.

Look, the bottom line is Republicans cannot win elections if voter turnout is high. Their base of old Caucasians is dying off. Minorities will soon be the majority. They will never vote en masse for Republicans unless the Republicans change their tune, and I imagine they will.

If a person has half a brain you will see this pattern in other states like Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin.

There is nothing new about Republican suppression of the minority voter who tends to vote Democratic. The less than honorable Rehnquist was involved in vote caging blacks and hispanics in Arizona in the 60's.

The bottom line is voter fraud is a minuscule problem. The Bush administration, with commander turd blossom at the helm, spent five years and $100,000,000 of your tax dollars looking for illegal voters and came up with squat. Couldn't that money have been better spent on another unmanned drone?

The point was that some/many of the people arbitrarily purged are NOT illegal aliens or ineligible to vote.

Just admit it. Your party is as crooked as a dogs hind leg and you don't care. They play up this goody-goody uber-American Biblethumper image and they're full to their eyeballs of sanctimonius shit and always have been. The only difference between them and the Dems in this regard is that they're your team. So, whatever sneaky, underhanded crap they pull is just fine with you. Isn't it?

"Who? Us? Play dirty? How dare you! We love Jesus, the Troops and America, we would never dream of such a thing!"

Oh, Please, spare me.......

wgrr the reason no bankers are in jail is that Gramm & Co. pulled all the teeth out of banking rules and no one broke any laws, simply because there were no laws to break.

Morally they are as corrupt as Long John Silver but if it was against the law to be morally corrupt there would be one hell of a prison shortage.

Exactly my point thank you. In reality there are probably very few illegal immigrants registered to vote....this is just another version of the big lie "Red Scare" from the 50s being used as cover for wrong doing. If your name was on a list to be purged Whell you would be pissed off no? Ah but they have not come for you...yet. Just arbitrarily deleting registered voters from faulty lists is an assault on democracy.

True, but there has to be some laws against fraud. I can even see the use of the RICO laws because there was definitely racketeering and no one can deny a large amount of corruption went on. If you don't even investigate you will never know. RICO has been used in many ways. It is not just for gangsters. It can also be for banksters.

Well, lord knows corporations despise democracy and a workforce (populace) with political horsepower of it's own. So, a political party that yearns to establish corporatocracy would have to find ways to render the democratic process impotent in order to serve their masters. It started with the so-called "Right to Work" laws.................

It would also require political will in government to go after them. The Democratic Party apparently no longer has the backbone, and the GOP would rather drop to their knees in worship of them and throw tax cuts and further deregulation at them than do the sensible thing and make examples of them.

Sure, that might cause "nervousness" in the stock market and hurt the economy short term. But, in the long run, it might lead to more honest and ethical banking practices. It's the "I will walk away unscathed no matter how bad I f**k up." environment that's causing all of these problems.

The people need to demand these swine feel the crack of their masters whip. The fabled "free market" obviously isn't going to do it. But, no. We'll continue to babble on about how precious and vital these thieves are, until they pound the last nail in this countries coffin and walk away with ALL of the money.

Backbone? It's not spine, they are just better at lying to the masses.
