BREAKING: NAACP Takes Over Houston Polling Station, Advocates for President Obama

[gallantwarrior]

Black people trying to vote in Texas, I guess, makes headline news.

A black organization violating election laws in Texas (or anywhere else) should not only make headline news, so should the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators of said crime.

Long waits led to disturbance at polling site, official says - Houston Chronicle

Controversy At Houston Election Polling Station | TexasSparkle | a Chron.com blog

So it all boiled down to people in NAACP tshirts helping the elderly and disabled to jump the line.

The horror! Negroes aren't compassionate, my gawd they should be thrown in prison for pretending they are!!!

I believe you could turn water into bitter wine or should I say a bitter whine, what do you think ?

Houston you say... what percentage of blacks, whites and Latino's were waiting in line?
Which group were the NAACP members talking too?

The reason this is not treated with more serious concern:
Houston/Harris County traditionally has a huge minority population voting Democrat.
We are a conservative City but every year Democrat Mayors get elected.
Any anomaly like this is not going to affect the vote anyway. The minorities are going to
vote Democrat, while the State always goes to the GOP, so none of this is taken seriously.

I live in a National Historic District of churches built by Freed Slaves.
We have received no funding to save the district because it doesn't change any votes.
Totally ignored and nearly wiped off the map because we don't count on the map!

The Democrats have allowed federal funds to go into removing historic houses and gravesites, to make room for developers to come in and destroy the residents' and churches' historic preservation plans. As long as the Democrats can still get elected, they will follow the wishes of corporate developers and financers who help them keep their offices locally.

Statewide and Nationally, the GOP candidates are going to dominate Texas, so they don't waste any time attention or money trying to save this historic site, even though it is the only cluster of Freed Slave churches of its kind in the entire nation. The church community has been pushed out, burned down, and demolished; while Black Democrats lobby for office.

Next to this kind of nonsense where the whole nation could lose a Civil Rights landmark, without ONE Black Democrat or Church leader ever reaching out the President to do something to save it (given the political bureaucracy that only cares about elections),
what difference does one polling location make if the State is going to Romney anyway?

Compared with more serious issues going on around here, this isn't going to change things.
And by the time the Democrat Party members and leaders are held to account, the bigger problems skirted under the rug, and the cost to taxpayers to fix that, will dwarf or shadow it!

You would probably have to bring 100 or more GOP souls to the alter, in order to cover all of Acorns acts and crimes during Obama's first run.

Since we cannot track and catch all these people, who may have vote fraudulently whether by duplicates, dead people or what not, the better way to hold them responsible is to make the Party leaders, members and supporters pay for the programs their candidates instigate which they support.

So if you support the health care bill as pushed by Obama, you pay into it, and you are under it! (While the Greens/Independent voters who wanted single payer can govern their own system. And others who believe in free enterprise and private sector solutions can set up, fund and manage private charity hospitals that regulate which people pay into it to qualify for care, and weed out people who create their own health problems unless they pay for the cost themselves.)

If we organize registration by Party affiliation, and organize communities/district through local schools, it is possible for people to fund and manage their own policies and programs.

So as many voters as there are supporting a candidate or party, that's fine, as long as you are paying for that program and agree to be under that policy.

Thread summary:

If Democrats do it, it's okay -- no matter what it is.

That pretty much cover it, USMB lefties?
