Obama Campaign Sues To Restrict Military Votes
When states want to purge their voting rolls of non-citizens, or when they push to request identification for voting, the Democrats immediately yell “disenfranchisement” and racism” And of course Eric Holder launches lawsuits right and left.
But apparently, it’s not disenfranchisement when Democrats try to restrict military voting, like they recently did in Ohio.
On July 17th, the Obama for America Campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party filed suit in OH to strike down part of that state’s law governing voting by members of the military. Their suit said that part of the law is “arbitrary” with “no discernible rational basis.”
Currently, Ohio allows the public to vote early in-person up until the Friday before the election. Members of the military are given three extra days to do so. While the Democrats may see this as “arbitrary” and having “no discernible rational basis,” I think it is entirely reasonable given the demands on servicemen and women’s time and their obligations to their sworn duty.
The National Defense Committee reports:
[f]or each of the last three years, the Department of Defense’s Federal Voting Assistance Program has reported to the President and the Congress that the number one reason for military voter disenfranchisement is inadequate time to successfully vote.
Of course Obama wants to restrict military voting. The military is one group of government employees that is usually conservative (unlike most public school teachers). That’s why Democrats/liberals are hostile to them. They don’t want America to be a super power.
As for Obama and Eric Holder, with all their lawsuits and executive orders, they’re opening up the America’s floodgates in order to bring in a new voting base who they know will always vote Democrat.

This, of course, is a lie – as you should have known given it’s from Breitbart.com.

Obama is not trying to restrict military early voting in Ohio.
He is trying to block a bill REMOVING early voting for citizens OTHER than the military in Ohio.
As for Obama and Eric Holder, with all their lawsuits and executive orders, they’re opening up the America’s floodgates in order to bring in a new voting base who they know will always vote Democrat.
If this “new voting base” are American citizens, don’t they have the right to vote, and SHOULDN’T the government be doing all it can to make it possible for them to do so?
Or do you believe that votes should be restricted, say to people who are male enough, white enough and rich enough to meet the original criteria of the American electorate?

First off I think our pool of immigrants/potential citizens should come from countries whose customs are not completely different from ours, and whose people are willing to assimilate to the American way of life. So if that excludes Muslims who think it’s OK to cut off the clitorises of little girls, and who believe in honor killings, then so be it.
Also, I think voting *should* be restricted. (What do you have against white men anyway?) For starters, voting should be limited to citizens only. No illegals. I would raise the age to 25, and I would exclude those on the welfare.
Hope that answers your question.

Trying to cut off or restrict the military vote is nothing new. During the Florida debacle in the 2000 election, Democrats tried to discount military absentee ballots. I remember back in the 1980 presidential election when I was stationed overseas, our absentee ballots somehow got mixed up and sent to the wrong place. Thousands of military and dependents didn’t get to vote.
Early voting should be allowed for certain reasons or exceptions. The Constitution states when elections shall take place. Today, early voting only allows Democrats to dig up the dregs of society, give them a few bottles of booze, and secure their vote. Yea, I know, it’s terrible people have to stand in line an hour just to vote. Have you ever stood in a deployment line for hours waiting to be sent to some Hellhole you have nightmares about?
