    “This lawsuit seeks to treat all Ohio citizens equally under the law,” Bob Bauer, attorney for President Obama’s campaign committee, said. “We want to restore the right of all to vote before Election Day,” he said, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.
    The campaign says the election-law changes made by Ohio’s Republican-controlled legislature and signed by Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, unfairly ends in-person early voting for most people on the Friday evening before Election Day — a Tuesday — but allows military and overseas voters to cast ballots in person until Monday, AP reported."

    This is total bullshit. Obama has done no such thing. According to your own Washington Post link . . .

    Obama’s campaign and other Democrats argue that the law unfairly ends in-person early voting for most Ohioans on the Friday evening before the Tuesday election while allowing military and overseas voters to cast ballots in person until Monday.

    Obama's campaign is trying to allow MORE Ohio voters to vote absentee by allowing them to vote until Monday before the election, NOT to restrict military voting in any fashion.

    “The brave men and women of our military make tremendous sacrifices to protect and defend our freedoms, and we should do everything we can to protect their fundamental right to vote,” it reads. “I stand with the fifteen military groups that are defending the rights of military voters.”

    you need to start researching some of these conservative talking points that you are being fed by the right wing media before presenting them on this forum because they are starting to make you look like you have no idea what is really going on. just a look around at a few other news outlets could have dispelled this silly story and saved you from looking bad.

    I hear he's going to start shooting infants as they're delivered from the womb and burning kittens after first tearing them from the hands of children...

    See I heard it was he was going to start making fuel out of infants. Those fema camps are actually supposed to be huge baby mills to start turning them into green energy. That green energy is going to be used in a factory that makes a huge statue of Jesse Jackson. Jesse Jackson's statue will have a device that takes all of your guns away. Serisouly.

    the only reason barry wants the extra 3 days for the ohio voters is so his community organizers can bus in crackheads, union workers and bums that have never been registered to vote in elections before. same as the 2008 election.
    no politician will be aable to disarm citizens, hell, they can't even disarm felons. law abiding citizens purchase about 1.5 million firearms a month. we're better armed than the chinese army. :cool: google that shit.
    barry added 6 trillion more dollars to the deficit and unemployment is still above %8. the economy is at a crawl and barry's administration has not had a budget passed since he's been in office, not even the democrats will vote on the garbage he has tried to pass. if barry goes off the prompter a few more times he'll drive nails in his on coffin. jesse jackson wants to cut his balls off so you know barry isn't gonna build him no statue. ;) now i wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have one erected to him.

    well if he would get off the damn golf course,we might actually see some progress. Google what he was doing during the BP Oil spill , he was playing golf with good Ole Joe Biden instead of taking care of his presidential responsibilities,

    this is just fucking stupid, you do know that voter fraud is virtually non existent and no new gun law legislation hasnt even sniffed a chance to pass in about 10 years. But keep shoveling the shit, I hope you have your boots on.
