Obama campaign attacks military voting rights
 

From ACLJ.org with a link to a petition to stop this lawsuit:

The military tends to vote very conservatively and obviously they are not going to be fans of Obama (especially not after his blanket repeal of DADT); so this is clearly a ploy of an apparently desperate Obama campaign to restrict the right to vote for many members of our Armed Forces. Despicable.

They are despicable. They fight the states that want to require IDs for voters to ensure actual citizens are voting, yet they want to make it harder for our military to have every chance to vote. :angry: This is just the latest in a long line of dirty deeds. They are pulling out all the stops in order to get him re-elected, and they don't care how they do it.

Nate and Bonnie are so right, they are despicable, not to mention DESPERATE.

Their DoJ and the IRS are targeting big Romney donors and Harry Reid has rung in a new era of McCarthyism on the Senate floor. Meanwhile, the administration deals with the slight increase in unemployment last month by using decimal points and the campaigner-in-chief is playing as much golf as possible.

November 6th can't come soon enough to get this incompetent and unethical boob out of office before we're completely sunk.

Worst. President. Ever.

sounds like obama just wants access to early voting extended to everyone .. not just the military ...

Where do you see that at? Everyone in this country already has access to early voting. The military just gets more time because of the nature of their job.

from the video on the website .. it is confusing ... but it sounds to me like the military gets to start voting on the friday before an election and the obama camp has said they want everyone in the state to have access to vote on the friday before the election, at least that is what it sounds like ..

Brilliant strategy.

But only one motive seems to make sense. Why would you try to change the whole ballgame? Look how much money and time that would take. Why would John Q. Public need more time to vote?

could be ... neither of the speakers on the video talked about that ... but hey, what do i know ... just going off the video ...

there are plenty of jobs that people have which requires them to be out of the country and any given time .. up here we have advance polls that we can vote at for our elections for people who are going to be away during the time of the voting ... everyone has access to that ..

I am in favor of giving our military extra early time to make sure their votes are counted. But the BO administration isn't challenging that, they want to extend the 3 extra days to all Ohioans, as democrats benefit from absentee and early voting (as the article states). Here is a link that is pretty fair in explaining both sides.

rnc is right and I should have read more about the topic. But I don't take back a single word on Obama and his DoJ. They have challenged voter ID laws in several states. Holder recently made the outrageous statement that the Texas voter ID law is a poll tax ( I've posted 2 links, one from each side of the political spectrum). Shame on them. They have hit a new low with the super pac ad touting Romney as being responsible for someone's death, an ad so chock full of outright lies that even the left is calling it despicable. I think they will say and do anything to retain power.
