Cruz to Republicans: Limit voting at all costs

[Polishprince]

Ted Cruz sees this as an existential threat to the Republican party..is it? I think that it's a shot at the right wing, for sure. Party moderates probably not as concerned--but tossing out phrases like, "they want child molesters and illegal aliens" to vote--shows the far right's concern over this bill--as no one has seriously suggested either. There is a provision for ex-cons to regain their franchise..so?

'An all-hands moment': GOP rallies behind voting limits

On an invitation-only call last week, Sen. Ted Cruz huddled with Republican state lawmakers to call them to battle on the issue of voting rights.
Democrats are trying to expand voting rights to “illegal aliens” and “child molesters,” he claimed, and Republicans must do all they can to stop them. If they push through far-reaching election legislation now before the Senate, the GOP won’t win elections again for generations, he said.
Asked if there was room to compromise, Cruz was blunt: “No.”
“H.R. 1′s only objective is to ensure that Democrats can never again lose another election, that they will win and maintain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate and of the state legislatures for the next century,” Cruz said told the group organized by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a corporate-backed, conservative group that provides model legislation to state legislators.
Cruz’s statements, recorded by a person on the call and obtained by The Associated Press, capture the building intensity behind Republicans’ nationwide campaign to restrict access to the ballot. From statehouses to Washington, the fight over who can vote and how — often cast as “voting integrity” — has galvanized a Republican Party in search of unifying mission in the post-Trump era. For a powerful network of conservatives, voting restrictions are now viewed as a political life-or-death debate, and the fight has all-but eclipsed traditional Republican issues like abortion, gun rights and tax cuts as an organizing tool.
That potency is drawing influential figures and money from across the right, ensuring that the clash over the legislation in Washington will be partisan and expensive.

So you're in favor of child molesters and illegals voting?????

Look dumbshit....there is NO provision for illegals voting...no matter how you ignorant POS's try to spin it. Yeah..i imagine there might be some sex offenders among the excons who regain their franchise, so? Are you so stupid...don't answer that!---to believe that the few who vote will effect any legislation at all?
Instead of the usual knee-jerk bs...how about addressing the issue honestly, pro or con?

So, you agree with the Leftists in Congress that politicians should be required to earn the votes of convicted child molesters in every state?

I guess if you guys want to empower NAMBLA and make their endorsement worth something, that's the key.

Drama Queen

But, but....What about NAMBLA?

NAMBLA is a liberal pressure group, that's why the Democrats are so anxious to guarantee child molesters the franchise in all 50 states. If Sleepy Joe doesn't love NAMBLA, why doesn't he insist that Chomos be removed from the voting rolls instead of mandating they be allowed to vote?

Allowing the Criminal Element to legally vote will open the system up to massive fraud.

If a guy like Jeff Dahmer has no qualms about cooking and eating his victims, why do you think he would hesitate to commit election fraud?

In Georgia the liberal chant is that republicans are engaged in voter suppression when they make everyone play by the same rules

and of course the liberal media supports that lie

They can't think this far ahead. They have a similar idea that criminals will turn over their guns when they are made illegal. It is kind of sad that many are so naive, but it is what it is. Their indoctrination overrides all sense of reason.

Playing by the same rules isn't fair to Democrats. They need a leg-up to compete with us Republicans who are so privileged and all.

The Criminal Element is a natural liberal voting bloc. If you were a creep who got his jollies by robbing and raping old ladies, OF COURSE you would have no problem voting for candidates that want to disarm the old bags. It isn't as much "fun" if the crone pulls an AR 15 out of her purse and de-nuts you, is it?

Why should they..the numbers are ridiculously small..and the issue is just something your ilk uses to substitute for rational thinking.

The real issue is simple..if all registered Democrats vote..and all registered Republicans vote..the Dems will almost always win..due to the raw numbers. This has been known for a long time now..and for that same length of time it's been the Republican strategy to keep as many of the Dems from voting as possible. If they can't keep them from voting..they gerrymander and make the votes null. You know it, and I know it.
But do go with NAMBLA this and chomo that--it will get you a lot of thumbs up here..and has exactly NO traction out there in the real world.

That potency is drawing influential figures and money from across the right, ensuring that the clash over the legislation in Washington will be partisan and expensive.

So you're in favor of child molesters and illegals voting?????

Look dumbshit....there is NO provision for illegals voting...no matter how you ignorant POS's try to spin it. Yeah..i imagine there might be some sex offenders among the excons who regain their franchise, so? Are you so stupid...don't answer that!---to believe that the few who vote will effect any legislation at all?
Instead of the usual knee-jerk bs...how about addressing the issue honestly, pro or con?

So, you agree with the Leftists in Congress that politicians should be required to earn the votes of convicted child molesters in every state?

I guess if you guys want to empower NAMBLA and make their endorsement worth something, that's the key.

Drama Queen

But, but....What about NAMBLA?

NAMBLA is a liberal pressure group, that's why the Democrats are so anxious to guarantee child molesters the franchise in all 50 states. If Sleepy Joe doesn't love NAMBLA, why doesn't he insist that Chomos be removed from the voting rolls instead of mandating they be allowed to vote?

Ted Cruz sees this as an existential threat to the Republican party..is it? I think that it's a shot at the right wing, for sure. Party moderates probably not as concerned--but tossing out phrases like, "they want child molesters and illegal aliens" to vote--shows the far right's concern over this bill--as no one has seriously suggested either. There is a provision for ex-cons to regain their franchise..so?

'An all-hands moment': GOP rallies behind voting limits

On an invitation-only call last week, Sen. Ted Cruz huddled with Republican state lawmakers to call them to battle on the issue of voting rights.
Democrats are trying to expand voting rights to “illegal aliens” and “child molesters,” he claimed, and Republicans must do all they can to stop them. If they push through far-reaching election legislation now before the Senate, the GOP won’t win elections again for generations, he said.
Asked if there was room to compromise, Cruz was blunt: “No.”
“H.R. 1′s only objective is to ensure that Democrats can never again lose another election, that they will win and maintain control of the House of Representatives and the Senate and of the state legislatures for the next century,” Cruz said told the group organized by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a corporate-backed, conservative group that provides model legislation to state legislators.
Cruz’s statements, recorded by a person on the call and obtained by The Associated Press, capture the building intensity behind Republicans’ nationwide campaign to restrict access to the ballot. From statehouses to Washington, the fight over who can vote and how — often cast as “voting integrity” — has galvanized a Republican Party in search of unifying mission in the post-Trump era. For a powerful network of conservatives, voting restrictions are now viewed as a political life-or-death debate, and the fight has all-but eclipsed traditional Republican issues like abortion, gun rights and tax cuts as an organizing tool.

Just too stupid for words.

Why don't the libs remove convicted paedophiles and pederasts from the bill then?

Why should they..the numbers are ridiculously small..and the issue is just something your ilk uses to substitute for rational thinking.

The real issue is simple..if all registered Democrats vote..and all registered Republicans vote..the Dems will almost always win..due to the raw numbers. This has been known for a long time now..and for that same length of time it's been the Republican strategy to keep as many of the Dems from voting as possible. You know it, and I know it.
But do go with NAMBLA this and chomo that--it will get you a lot of thumbs up here..and has exactly NO traction out there in the real world.

Then why are the Democrats so anxious to make sure they vote???

Many felons will vote which is why the Democrats want to give them back their right. Of course, does it really matter? They could vote using someone else's name anyway since no voter id is required either. Democrats are either REALLY stupid/ignorant or ok with corrupting our voting system.

So let’s get this straight...
A convicted felon will risk returning to prison just so he can vote under someone else’s name.

Makes sense to the Conservative mind

They're not..douchbag---the issue is all about the huge number of minorities that have been disenfranchised due to convictions over the years. That some small number may be sex offenders is irrelevant to the larger issues at hand.

Well, when people are forced to stand in long lines in the next election, Democrats can put up signs that say......This line was brought to you by the Republican Party. Be sure to thank them

People.stand in longer lines at Disneyland asshat.

Not if they don’t have to.
Make them stand in line rather than just mailing in their ballot.

Thank a REPUBLICAN when you reach the end of the line
