New G.O.P. Bid to Limit Voting in Swing States
By STEVEN YACCINO and LIZETTE ALVAREZMARCH 29, 2014
CINCINNATI — Pivotal swing states under Republican control are embracing significant new electoral restrictions on registering and voting that go beyond the voter identification requirements that have caused fierce partisan brawls.
The bills, laws and administrative rules — some of them tried before — shake up fundamental components of state election systems, including the days and times polls are open and the locations where people vote.
Republicans in Ohio and Wisconsin this winter pushed through measures limiting the time polls are open, in particular cutting into weekend voting favored by low-income voters and blacks, who sometimes caravan from churches to polls on the Sunday before election.
This is bullshit. If the fukers cannot win their argument on the basis of merit, then they will cheat like the low life scum they are.
This article makes it indisputable: In the repelican veiw, if you do not have wealth or own property, you just shouldn't vote.
I say
FUCK THESE REPELICAN SCUM

The Senate Intelligence Committee voted 11-3 along partisan lines in favor of declassifying a report it has produced regarding the CIA's Rendition, Detention and Interrogation program. The U.S.A. Today news report on this Senate Intelligence Committee vote demonstrates yet another clear instance of the ideological divide that exists between party:
Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., a member of the panel, called the report "flawed and biased" but ultimately voted in favor of declassifying it.
"I had hoped that the authors of the report would ensure that the American public was provided facts, not fiction," Burr said. He added, "However, I voted today to declassify the report to give the American people the opportunity to make their own judgments."
Three Senate Republicans — James Risch of Idaho, Dan Coats of Indiana and Marco Rubio of Florida — voted against declassification. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., voted present.
"Unfortunately, the study has pitted the Senate Intelligence Committee against the CIA and distracted us from focusing on the many threats facing our national security," Risch and Rubio said in a joint statement. "Unlike previous bipartisan reports to come out of the intelligence committee – including the recent study investigating the terrorists attacks in Benghazi, which received broad bipartisan support – this partisan effort deserves to be discredited."
From: Senate panel votes to declassify part of CIA report, USA Today
Any goddamned fool can claim it's not cold out - but that will not stop the shivering.
.

Further evidence:
The House Energy and Commerce Committee Tuesday voted down an amendment that would have stated conclusively that climate change is occurring.
E&C Committee members voted 24-20 against the amendment, introduced by Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) to H.R. 3826, the Electricity Security and Affordability Act. That bill, if it makes it through Congress, would put an end to EPA regulations on emissions for new power plants until technologies like carbon capture and storage are commercially viable in at least six states for one year. It passed in Tuesday’s committee, but the amendment, which would have placed on the record that the committee accepts that climate change is happening and is caused by greenhouse gas pollution, did not.
Twenty-four E&C members — all Republicans — voted against the amendment. Among them was E&C Chair Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI), who has said before that he doesn’t think climate change is caused by human activity, and Joe Barton (R-TX), who also questions humans’ role in climate change. In total, the Republicans who voted to deny climate change have accepted about $9.3 million in career contributions from the oil, gas and coal industries, according to analysis by the CAP Action War Room.
This isn’t the first time House Republicans have rejected amendments stating the reality of climate change. In 2011, House Republicans voted down amendments that called on Congress to accept that climate change is real, man-made, and a human health threat.
.
.
And yet another stunning example of intransigent repelican insistence on ignorance and partisan denial . . .
The American public is reacting to climate change as though it were a lifestyle or culture wars issue, such as gay marriage or marijuana legalization.
They don’t seem to realize that the laws of physics don’t respect party affiliation. If you put 32 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year, as human beings are currently doing by burning coal, oil and natural gas, then you will cause massive climate change.

Gosh, am I ever glad to see you, Builder!
Life gets busy. I know that only too well, but I sure hope we see more of you again.
Oh...hey, the 'Moringa' supplements are working real nice!
[Removed]
[Removed]
Hahahah. Ya ya, I know...everyone's a kochsucker.
You really need a break. Go chop some wood or something. Get your mind right.
Try painting. That's what I'm doing right now. Kitchen cabinets. They look great!
You should get some quality supplements yourself. Especially a good B-Complex supplement. Keeps things calm, and keeps the 'creepies' away..if ya know what I mean? It separates the paranoia between the 'real', and the 'imagined'.
Also, take an extra quality vitamin B-12 (sublingual). Make sure it's 'Methylcobalamin', not Cyanocobalamin.
In fact, get your B-12 level checked by your doctor. Your 'intrinsic factor' may be gone and your body can't accept B-12 through the stomach. You may need monthly B-12 shots. Intrinsic Factor starts to diminish after the age of 50. It's very common. It might be a pain in the ass to get your levels checked, though. Doctors don't like to check it if there isn't an overt and very obvious problem, but by the time there's an outright problem, it's too late. It's like pulling teeth, I tell you. To complete the "B's", take a 30 day round of vitamin B1 (Thiamine). Do a 30 day run of B1 about every 6 months. Tres importante.
I think you could really use some Zinc, as well. But, you gotta be careful. It's very strong and can do damage if you overdo it. Use quality 'liquid' Zinc (Metagenics is a long reputable brand), for the best absorption. Use a dropper and put only half a mililitre in a glass of water each day. Should notice improvements in about a week. Do that for a good month, and if everything's okay, keep going with it. It's great maintenance.
Hmmmm. You know, I was gonna stop here...but, hell...I may as well round this off for a complete health regimen for you.
A good quality Fish Oil, is a must. No exceptions.
A good quality calcium/magnesium supplement is also a must. Make sure it has vitamin D3 (from cholecalciferol) in it, for the best absorption possible.
Finally, get yourself on a really good mutli-vitamin/mineral supplement.
Stay away from the drugstore brands. They're junk. With supplements, you gotta go with reputable brands from a reputable health store. No 'Centrum, One-A-Day' bullshit.
That oughta do it, I think. That's a well-rounded regimen that anyone over 50 years old should take as a good basic foundation for continued health and maintenance.
Seriously, Zen. Get to a reputable health food store. And Zen...run...don't walk. You need help, and right now!
Ultimately you should be seeing a good ND (Naturopathic Doctor), or better still, an Integrative Doctor, but if you can't or don't want to...this regimen is a nicely rounded one and you'll save yourself a few bucks.
And hey, let us know how you're doing in about a month, or so. I'd love to hear how things are coming along. ;-)
Well, back to painting!

Well, you're here. That would suggest different.

Aww, de-dums ! Are you feeling under ''attack'' ?!! Should I merely consider the UK my ''community'' in this globalised world and how come you have so internalised my criticisms of The US Corporatocracy - The 1% Lackeys and The 0.01% Parasite Class Oligarchy and taken what I say so personally, huh ?!!!
Have you swallowed one too many - 'Nationalism Pills' now ? D'you know what Oscar Wilde said about 'Nationalism' ? Is it a case of ... 'Amerika Uber Alles' and 'my oligarchs .. wrong or right' ? Should I just stick to matters'UK'? Does what the US does, have a disproportionate impact on the rest of the world ?
Why are you psychologically so aligned with The Ruling Class in The U$A ? Is there really any point in this dialogue ? Remember (cf.your 'Punk v Sharia thread) what happens when you exchange comments with me ? When you don't like what is said to you - you merely opt to ban, remove and censure, right ?

we agree here mr dog, and I congratulate you on an intelligent and reasoned response. the "fuck you" was not needed but I guess you feel differently. I wish you would respond to my comments in the same way but I am not too optimistic on that front. here is noam expanding on what you said -
SPIEGEL: So for you, Republicans and Democrats represent just slight variations of the same political platform?
Chomsky: Of course there are differences, but they are not fundamental. Nobody should have any illusions. The United States has essentially a one-party system and the ruling party is the business party.
SPIEGEL: You exaggerate. In almost all vital questions -- from the taxation of the rich to nuclear energy -- there are different positions. At least on the issues of war and peace, the parties differ considerably. The Republicans want to fight in Iraq until victory, even if that takes a 100 years, according to McCain. The Democrats demand a withdrawal plan.
Chomsky: Let us look at the “differences” more closely, and we recognize how limited and cynical they are. The hawks say, if we continue we can win. The doves say, it is costing us too much. But try to find an American politician who says frankly that this aggression is a crime: the issue is not whether we win or not, whether it is expensive or not. Remember the Russian invasion of Afghanistan? Did we have a debate whether the Russians can win the war or whether it is too expensive? This may have been the debate at the Kremlin, or in Pravda. But this is the kind of debate you would expect in a totalitarian society. If General Petraeus could achieve in Iraq what Putin achieved in Chechnya, he would be crowned king. The key question here is whether we apply the same standards to ourselves that we apply to others.
SPIEGEL: Who prevents intellectuals from asking and critically answering these questions? You praised the freedom of speech in the United States.
Chomsky: The intellectual world is deeply conformist. Hans Morgenthau, who was a founder of realist international relations theory, once condemned what he called “the conformist subservience to power” on the part of the intellectuals. George Orwell wrote that nationalists, who are practically the whole intellectual class of a country, not only do not disapprove of the crimes of their own state, but have the remarkable capacity not even to see them. That is correct. We talk a lot about the crimes of others. When it comes to our own crimes, we are nationalists in the Orwellian sense.

by the way - which side was our beloved Madison on?? in your reading of history - nice quotes by the way but when Jefferson - that lover of slaves (literally) made that quote - where did he put Madison?

I am not tony anyone or hc but no way to convince you of that - nor do I need to. think what you like - i have no idea what you are talking about with fat tony and all. you have written to me, previously, that you don't try to make sense - so what should i think of that?I don't agree with you view of history. you claim that "we" will defeat conservatism - and who might that we be - the liberal wing of the business party. it is easily demonstrated that this is not the way to go. take a look at the liberals - Wilson, jfk, lbj - should i go on - no i don't think so. how about coffee and chocolate?
[Removed]
you said - "You fukers have very successfully destroyed this forum." - now you are a self proclaimed mainstream democratic party supporter and you have come to an anarchist site - a site where the founders have specifically disavowed any partisan politics and i am destroying it. the logic is impressive - i think it was from kissenger that i first heard the phrase - "a logical illogicality."

you are right i did not mention it. that does not change in any way what i just wrote

i don't get it - but you are correct - i did mention henry k. now how about Madison. do you realize what an anti democratic (small d here) elitist he was. can you answer my question. and thanks very much for not throwing your usual insult. i really don't need them - gotta go to work - looking forward to your comments on Madison!
ZD can't make any comparisons to website traffic here- and every other occupy site- to anything that went on about two years ago. Its just an attack machine, probably why things didn't work out for him/her.
Apparently no one has informed it that online traffic is usually a direct result of real traffic. Hence trending.
that sounds convincing to me but i have no idea what you are talking about - i am old and not well informed about this type of thing
[Removed]
Basically if something is trending on twitter, its because its become a hot topic. If its an event, you will see lots of chatter on it over the internet. But something has to happen to create that.
We were in the streets across the entire nation. Then tptb - including people that ZD actively phone banked for the following fall (how sincere, eh?) decided that it needed to be shut down. Can't have the people actually getting involved!!
ZD is simply making a very poorly informed viewpoint on website traffic in general.
We all know the government pays trolls to go to sites and act deranged, promote status quo viewpoints, etc. Same things they do in real life at occupy. We also know the DNC and the RNC actively promote their parties via trolls.
They do this because they believe they have something to benefit from.
That being said, anyone can do an analysis on websites. I suggest ZD and Shooz so some analysis before jumping to conclusions on why occupy related web traffic is down.
thanks very much - well done - I have personally seen govt agents trying to disrupt peace demos - disgusting! like some of the things going on here

you are an old dog so I will assume you know who Justine is - she sent this to me a while back - From: Justine Tunney Subject: Re: website trouble
What on earth are you talking about with the democratic party? We don't have anything to do with them. Not in the slightest. Don't believe the lies. I mean... we've got all this stuff about revolution on the website. :rolls eyes: You should know better if you've been on the site for the past few years :P .............ok, I am back now - .thanks for your reasonable response - I would much rather have a conversation than the usual throwing of insults. we did not need that last bit did we? here is noam's take on global warming and our president - "Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who died recently and was the object of mockery, insult, and hatred throughout the Western world, attended a session of the U.N. General Assembly a few years ago where he elicited all sorts of ridicule for calling George W. Bush a devil. He also gave a speech there that was quite interesting. Of course, Venezuela is a major oil producer. Oil is practically their whole gross domestic product. In that speech, he warned of the dangers of the overuse of fossil fuels and urged producer and consumer countries to get together and try to work out ways to reduce fossil fuel use. That was pretty amazing on the part of an oil producer. You know, he was part Indian, of indigenous background. Unlike the funny things he did, this aspect of his actions at the U.N. was never even reported.
So, at one extreme you have indigenous, tribal societies trying to stem the race to disaster. At the other extreme, the richest, most powerful societies in world history, like the United States and Canada, are racing full-speed ahead to destroy the environment as quickly as possible. Unlike Ecuador, and indigenous societies throughout the world, they want to extract every drop of hydrocarbons from the ground with all possible speed.
Both political parties, President Obama, the media, and the international press seem to be looking forward with great enthusiasm to what they call “a century of energy independence” for the United States. Energy independence is an almost meaningless concept, but put that aside. What they mean is: we’ll have a century in which to maximize the use of fossil fuels and contribute to destroying the world.
And that’s pretty much the case everywhere. Admittedly, when it comes to alternative energy development, Europe is doing something. Meanwhile, the United States, the richest and most powerful country in world history, is the only nation among perhaps 100 relevant ones that doesn’t have a national policy for restricting the use of fossil fuels, that doesn’t even have renewable energy targets. It’s not because the population doesn’t want it. Americans are pretty close to the international norm in their concern about global warming. It’s institutional structures that block change. Business interests don’t want it and they’re overwhelmingly powerful in determining policy, so you get a big gap between opinion and policy on lots of issues, including this one.

if you think you are a linguist expert I am surprised. first you say "Jart is simply mistaken" in response to her statement that ." the democratic party? We don't have anything to do with them.

that's it? that's all you got? what a sad case you are. to which lies are you referring? did you learn this tactic from shooz or did you come up with it yourself? so you have no response and all you can say is LIES! never pointing out one of them. don't you realize how weak that is - no - come on even a little boy would know - are you a little boy? you resort to name calling and screeching when your argument is destroyed - point by point. everyone here knows that - well maybe there are two who don't. don't you have a democratic facebook page or twitter account you can go to and do your thing. or better yet - how about having real debates and discussion. I would still like to know what you are smoking - I am concerned that you are probably drinking your medication - maybe not - you are up pretty early for a drunk.
[Removed]
well done - thanks - except for the last obligatory obscenities. very funny by the way - the up early line. I agree with much of what you say here. I also understand the legitimate questions of tactics - such as should we have a list of demands. where we differ it seems is that you think you know the right way forward and I realize that nobody has a crystal ball. what I do not understand is how you dismiss my last comment above - am I wrong to ask you to point out the lies or was it something else? as far as name dropping goes - I don't think you know what that phrase means. to point out that one of the founders of occupy says - " the democratic party? We don't have anything to do with them. Not in the slightest." is not name dropping. I know you don't like it but you and the shooz boy should call it by its real name. yours is a tactic of mainstream politicians and it has no place here.

It is a way of life for em, the messaging is different though. Working very well still apparently.

Beware of two trolls, flip and JGriff, there just here causing trouble.

My thoughts exactly. This flip can't handle facts. He also knows how to argue both sides of an argument and win both. Classic symptoms of repelicanism. Then, he and his sock puppets give each other congrats on their genius. Classic, classic repelicanism.

"can we find corruption among either party? I'm sure we can . . ."
Its very hard for you to get too in depth on that one, eh?
Better stick to the attack style political ads I guess.
[Removed]
Because your solutions are to put in more corrupt people. I mean, jesus you just said if Bernie doesnt run, you would vote for Hillary. And this from someone who claims voting and politicians are the answer to everything.
Almost as if you have been completely asleep or very very young.
Vermont has relatively few problems because its Vermont. No pain no gain.
Go to NY. Go get a dose of what its like to live in a rampant police state, throwing people in jail all over, taking your rights, shipping out your jobs, etc etc etc.
Like I always say, your beloved Dems helped to SHUT DOWN the very cause and site you are on.
If thats enough to get you to say fuck em, then probably nothing ever will be. Or you are simply here to pollute.

Go ask the people who run this site what they think of your short sighted garbage.

ZenDog I guess living up in the backwoods of Vermont, you never acquired any "street smarts". Only a po dunk dolt would let themselves be played so easily by our political false dichotomy.
It's a con, a street hustle. Wake up! Get out of your country cabin and look around.
Part of the con they are so easily playing you with is called the Hegelian dialectic (look it up). That's all the dog and pony show stuff you so easily get mesmerized by. The good cop// bad cop ploy that you extol as a clear sign of political contrast. These battles are allowed to be played out so the public can vent through discourse and believe in self determination.
All of this political theatre is meant to distract and captivate the public on ancillary issues. The major core issues in our society do NOT change with EITHER party. Such as the FED, the military industr cmplx, crony capitalism, energy, money in politics, globalization,etc
It is so frustrating for those of us that see through this con like glass. to watch fools fall for this nonsense.
What made you think you needed another puppet to make this comment?
It's you who's fallen through the looking glass.
