You can’t understand the liberal mind until you understand the concept of “psychological projection”. It’s when someone has a flaw, but rather than face it, they instead suddenly see that flaw in other people who don’t have it.
For example, a racist might scream out that you’re a racist for no apparent reason. Someone who can’t stand people different than they are on any level might accuse you of being a bigot. Someone who doesn’t particularly care about helping others might call you greedy.
Now, the Democrats have shown another area where they’re projecting onto others their own personal flaws, refusing to accept basic personal responsibility for their own bad character. While bashing the common-sense requirement of requiring voters to use basic ID because it “disenfranchises” minorities somehow, Democrats have now stooped to what might be a new low.
They’re suing Ohio in order to make it more difficult for military members to vote.
Mike Flynn for Breitbert has the full story:
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.
Now why would Obama and his Democrat friends care to make it more difficult for the military to vote? It’s got nothing to do with being “democratic” because they only support democracy when the people voting agree with them. The real reason is simple. Veterans support Romney by a landslide.
Data for active duty personnel is more fuzzy, but it’s probably fair to say that Obama cutting their pay while they were in harms way and cutting their healthcare benefits while serving America probably wasn’t a great vote builder.
In the end, the Democrats need to be the one silenced on the topic of “disenfranchising” voters. They seem to think minorities are too incompetent to get an ID card and are worried about them, but are wasting time and money suing so they can make it that much more difficult to see what the troops want. The real difference between the two issues? Only one voter group supports Obama. So they get different treatment. That’s just low, even for Barack.

ABANDON SHIP
Time for everyone to write your congressmen and senators and object to any voter being denied the right to vote. If we hit them with thousands of e mails they will most likely get the message.
Well NOW: Seems like WELFARE ( BLACK ) MUSLIM OBAMA and the DEMONCRATIC party will do anything to win. If they can’t win this way Watch OBAMA WILL DECLARE MARTIAL LAW NULLIFY THE ELECTION DECLARE HIMSELF OBAMA THE DICTATOR OF THE MUSLIM STATES OF OBAMA FORMERLY THE FREE AND PROUD USA. OBAMA WILL ALSO DECLARE THAT ALL PEOPLE SHALL KNEEL OR BOW BEFORE HIM OR FACE BEHEADING ACCORDING TO SHARIAH LAW ENFORCED BY NONE OTHER THAN (BLACK ) ERICK HOLDER AND THE D O J .!!!
@iceman: You are on the right track about him declaring Martial Law and proclaiming himself dictator. That’s what the NDAA is set up for. BEWARE CAREER WELFARE RECIPIENTS (those who can work but choose not too) – HE WILL turn on you if he gets re-elected. HE WILL use you to get the votes, then demand your loyalty (slave labor) lest you end up in his detention camps (or worse). YOUR ELDERS will be eliminated (one gated camp has several thousand coffins… waiting) by virtue of The Health Care Act. YOUR CHILDREN will be experimented on with the vaccines and drugs (The Health Care Act allows for clinics in and beside schools) their Big Pharma partners are devising in order to make THEM live longer. And say good-bye to AT LEAST 75% of your paycheck for their cushy lifestyles. Instead of feeding the Democratic Trojan Horse, get off welfare and show them you are not their pathetic little pawns (excuses for larger government and more taxes).
Just let Obama keep attacking our military personnel’s rights by taking such stupid actions as to try and limit their time and ability to cast their votes in the November 6th elections and he had better be praying that they will not refuse to follow any and all of his illegal orders. He, along with the Democrat National Committee and his D.O.J. puppets are so dumb as to think that the people in this country are completely unaware of how they are attacking and trying to destroy everything that is good and honorable and highly valued by the majority of the American People with complete impunity–brother are they in for a surprise come November 6th. Our military personnel willingly put their lives on the line in service to our nation and it is unthinkable that “Their Right To Vote” that so many of them have fought and died to protect for all the rest of us could be coming under attack from their own so-called Commander-In-Chief. I pray that wiser heads will prevail in the Ohio court system and that this atrocious and ridiculous lawsuit will be thrown out-of-court in short order reaffirming to our military that their nation indeed stands with them and “Has Their Back!
obozo is, indeed, an enemy of America because he wants to suppress the military votes. He’s tearing down our last bit of defense against domestic and foreign enemies. He fears their votes greatly. He’s not treating the military very well. He cut their pay and is making them pay more for their healthcare. The military, will most likely, NOT vote for this American-hater. obozo knows that the military has nothing but contempt for him.
I thought American citizens have the right to vote. How can he take away that right? The only reason he would do this is that most of our military won’t vote for him. He has no respect for the job they do for our country. He doesn’t want all those people voting for someone else. Obama knows he’ll never get their votes. He’ll do anything to win this election. If he does win, I’m sure it will be a fixed election.
Let us call back all the military from all locations world wide. Let them come back and take over the United States from those who have take her away from us. Let them come back, Full Command of the USA by the Military. Arrest Obama, Eric Holder, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner, McConnell. Charge Obama with High Treason, the rest with Aiding and abetting and I am sure there are plenty of other laws they have broken. Suspend Congress and arrange a special General election to replace all the current members. None of the present members to be allowed to participate. All the voting to be under the auspices of the American High Command. None of the present Congress or executive branch to be allowed near this exercise. The votes to use the old voting methods, which are known to be untarnished. All votes to be counted withing the United States.
This is EXACTLY what we need!
Anyone who has anything to do with Obama will do dirty stuff. You can count on it.
If Obama wins, it will be by dirty means. Why do Democrats want a rat for president?
Rats stick together.
I’m a Ohio Vet so Obama can go Straight to h/e/l/l/. This man has no respect for our Military family.I’m retired so now I can speak my mind.
Obama, Holder and the rest of Obama’s goon-squad equals HIGH TREASON!
Why isn’t Congress acting on these fools?
I certainly know who I am NOT voting for, NEVER have and NEVER will. I DO know who I AM voting for in November! I AM voting for the Patriot MORMON, NOT the Communist MORON!
No stone unturned, no bar too low, no trick too dirty for Team Obama to try and save their jobs.
About 50% of the people don`t have a clue what the government is doing and really don`t care. As long as they are not bothered they don`t care what the government is doing. If they did they would at the very least vote.
Under socialism all will govern in turn and will soon become accustomed to no one governing.
