Democrats Versus Military Voters: Not the First Time
Breitbart ^ | August 5, 2012 | Joel B. Pollak

Last Thursday, Breitbart News' Mike Flynn broke the news that the Obama campaign was suing in the swing state of Ohio to block a law that extends early voting for members of the military for an additional three days. A fierce battle erupted, with Democrats (and a few conservatives) arguing that Obama campaign was simply trying to extend the military's privilege to everyone else. Regardless of the remedy they seek, Flynn points out, they are suing to end an exemption for military voters. It would not be the first time Democrats--who pretend, in their fight against voter ID, to want more ballot access--have tried to stop the military's votes from counting.

In 2008, for example, the State of Virginia (a critical swing state in 2012) had failed to send absentee ballots to members of the military on active duty in time for them to complete the ballots and return them before the election.

Don’t believe for a moment these democrats and other liberals who now say they support our military. These are the same people who spit on returning Vietnam vets like my father. These are the same people, like their hero at the time, John Kerry, who thought Vietnam Vets were like the hordes of Genghis Khan. These are the same people who burned their draft cards and fled to Canada. These are the same people who introduced LGBT issues into the military to undermine that institution. These people will stop at nothing to destroy our military in its current form and to remake it and the rest our country’s institutions into their own twisted dream of a socialist paradise.

Wanted Voters: illegal aliens, crazy people, homeless bribed with cigarettes, felons in jail, dead people, people who vote twice.

UnWanted Voters: soldiers, church people, taxpayers.
