It took more than 20 words to explain it to you. I grasped the meaning immediately. Perhaps others did too. Dunno.
I do get your point though. It does sound a bit to close to a slang quip like, "True dat".
Double yep!
BUMP! Hopefully this National Summit in March will be well attended.
Thanks for the ping!

The good, the bad, and the downright ugly!!!

Notice how fast an “Elections Administrator” can sway an election in their county???
Look at the paragraph containing the statement by Pearlie Valadez…I’ll give you one guess as to what their political affiliation is, and who they are beholden to…
This Voter ID may not be effective right away, but eventually, the few who do get caught will bear a price they were not ready to pay…
This is another reason I do not, and will not, and we should all fight against is an “Elections Administrator” position in Harris County…
One person, who is appointed by County Commissioners Court, who is beholden to no one, not the voters, but only to the Court that appointed them to operate and officiate over the elections in that county is too powerful and susceptible to improper influence cannot be allowed to occur…No amount of assurances to the opposite can suppress this fact…Not in Harris County…
Of course, we know who and what the Houston Comical is all about…
As a few in Texas say, the re-election of Joe Strauss to the Speakers position may have serious consequences if this and a few other bills get “chubbed” again like they did in the last legislative session...
Quite a few Republicans who went along with this may have a few hard questions to answer for it if this does happen...
I understood it immediately. And you may count me as one who rejects and despises the current image-driven, monosyllabic culture that the left has forced upon us.
A picture is supposed to be worth a thousand words, but many things there are which cannot be pictured, and they don't go away just because they aren't seen on TV. Words are the only way to get at such things.
Btw, did anybody happen to notice that in marketing, the immediately obvious is not always the most effective? Banners which require no thought to understand completely are soonest forgotten, while those that raise a question in the onlooker — well, you know what I mean.
At least, the title "True the Vote" has a meaning that can be found out. 40+ years on and still nobody knows what "Monday, Monday" means, or "MacArthur Park".
Egad. I hate that song.
And...totally off topic...I always must ask....What was the lyricist thinking when he/she wrote about a cake being 'left-out-in-the-rain-and-I'll-never-have-that-recipe-again' ?
Maybe I just don't get it.
Of course your understood it immediately. So did Bloody. You already are invested and know quite a bit about the cause. But if you weren’t, and didn’t know, your reaction would be very different, something along the lines of “What?” Effective branding appeals to emotion, not reason. There has to be something for people to attach to emotionally, and bizarre English usage doesn’t lend itself to that. So just stand on your principles, all of you, and watch no one attach to what you are taking about. No skin off my nose. Oh, and it was WAY before my time, but I know what “Monday, Monday” and “MacArthur Park” signify, although I think both songs are faintly ridiculous. Loose lips sink ships.
Voter fraud is treason.
You weren't supposed to "get it", just buy it.
It worked well enough for its intended purpose.
I have a deep negative emotional reaction to chickification, however it is branded.
Oh, and it was WAY before my time, but I know what “Monday, Monday” and “MacArthur Park” signify, although I think both songs are faintly ridiculous.
To say "faintly" ridiculous is a poor choice of words; Mark Twain had something to say about that. But if you actually understand lyrics that were intentionally written to have no particular meaning, then I guess I can understand your understanding of English usage.
As the cockroach might say, no chitin off my ventral carapace.
Oh, btw, I don't live in TX, and today was the first time I heard of "True the Vote."
There was a prime opportunity to True the Vote in Alaska recently, but hardly anyone was interested.
And so in the wake of it remains a Senator back in office who performs a daily act of selling out, crosses party lines and is basically a Republican Turncoat.
Her votes should have been exposed for validity but instead they were allowed to progress without scrutiny.
Misogynistic snark from cranky old geezers does not count as a rational response. I am describing reality, not defending it.
Right, a death penalty for voter fraud.
In Philadelphia, in the 2000 election, Al Gore garnered more votes than there were people of voting age in Philadelphia. Ed Rendell, the former mayor of Philadelphia, was head of the Democrat party. They were using touch screen voting machines that were allegedly programmed by a man who had already served time in jail for voter fraud in another state.
Voter fraud is an institutionalized part of the Democrat party. That was the real reason that the justice dept dropped the case against the New Black Panthers, they were afraid the investigation would expand to other areas of voter fraud and intimidation in Philadelphia.
I believe in photo ID and also think it’s good they’re stiffening the penalty for vote fraud. Jail time is warranted and if someone decides to undermine out system they deserve to be locked up.
Mail in votes do offer a greater opportunity for fraud and that makes it more important to purge dead registered voters from the system. Holder and his thugs are not interested in enforcing the law requiring states and counties to remove dead voters, one more reason for him to be investigated.
It seems the True the Vote movement is effective at checking voter lists for bogus registered voters and this alone can make a significant difference.
If all of the above are done nationwide it surely wouldn’t stop all voter fraud but would come close, IMO.
You’re correct. Republicans rejected Murky but Dems wanted her and they got her, both in Alaska and in the Senate.
FWIW, I've never heard of it until I read this thread.
Never given a thought to voter identification and verification, eh?
