Prior to hearing the ruling, I heard BHO and his buddy Holder commenting on how bad the ruling was. Since it chapped them I knew it had to be good for us. :patriot:

In 1965, the South was virtually all in Democrat hands. What has changed since the VRA? The South is now predominantly in Republican hands. Republicans are far less interested or likely to be involved in voter fraud, or other criminal behavior involving elections. It is the Dems who are the vote riggers, intimidators, machine politicians, etc.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Prove it.
Lots of illegal behavior on both sides of the political isles.

If you're looking down your nose at one party and thinking that they're the cause of all of our problems, you've only got it half right... Seriously.

I look down my nose at both parties, having had my faith in either one of them abused as a loyal party member at various times in my life, but there is a significant difference between the two.... The democrat party is a well oiled machine, and its corruption is intentional, while the republicans are merely incompetent. Incompetence sometimes produces stumbling, but it rarely produces deliberate violations of the law. I think we can agree that the legacy media are largely sympathetic to the dems, and yet there are far more stories appearing on their pages about democrat corruption than republican corruption. Furthermore, when dems get caught, the party circles the wagon and defends them. When republicans get caught, the party tends to disown them.

Yes, both parties have corruption in them, but there's a key difference. Corruption among Republicans -tends- to be individualized, while corruption among Democrats -tends- to be institutionalized. Lone wolves versus wolf packs.

Maybe there is reason to be concerned about both parties....

Convince me. I understand that this is what you believe, but I'll buy it when I see statistics (quasi-neutral-source) that support it.
