That's the change you can believe in....

The totalitarian state of B. Hussein Obama.

Unfortunately, I can attest to what happened in Texas. Hillary was slow to get her volunteer operation started. It did not start until March or April and was over in Denver Harbor. Denver Harbor is a blue collar and heavily Latino area. She did little to engage middle class Whites until the last week. I was a volunteer here in Houston, so I do know the full story. There was an effort to turn in illegal vote sheets the night of the precinct meeting, but I am too honest for that BS. I disallowed it. As for a some of Obama's people they were paid, and operated like a well oiled machine.

If you really want to read about the whole messy situation in Texas start here (http://tinyurl.com/23358q). Texas has this lovely ass backward system nicknamed, "The Texas Two-Step". We vote at the polls and that counts for 2/3 of our vote, and then at the precinct meeting and that counts for 1/3 of your vote. If you want to be a delegate for a candidate you have to go the precinct meeting and sign in, then there is a convoluted formula used with the final tally for each candidate, then you are told how many delegates you can choose.

Hillary won in my precinct, but Obama's people had told my people that they could go home after sign-in. Well they did. Finally, I put a stop to that and almost had a physical blowout with an Obamakin. People from both sides broke it up. Mind you I am 5' but when mad stay out of my way. They had been pushing me around all night to distract me. At a certain point i caught on, and  retrieved my posible delegates and almost went to blows with Mr. Condescending Obamakin. His face split open when Hillary won the tally. Due to their tactics I almost did not have enough delegates to send to the Senate District Convention an even larger joke.  The story goes on and on all to the more peaceful State Convention.

--- Quote ---Now, with the help of a 2008 Supreme Court decision, Crawford vs. Marion County (Indiana) Election Board, white Republicans in some areas will keep eligible blacks from voting by requiring driver's licenses. Not only is this new-fangled discrimination constitutional, it's spreading.

--- Quote ---In Crawford, the court upheld an Indiana law essentially requiring a passport or driver's license in order to vote. But more than two thirds of Indiana adults have no passports and nearly 15 percent have no driver's licenses. These eligible voters, disproportionately African-American, will need to take a bus or catch a ride from a friend down to the motor vehicles bureau to make sure they obtain a nondriver photo ID. Otherwise, they cannot vote in Indiana this year.

How can this be constitutional?

When you are poor, there is soooo much crap that the government makes you do for verification and to keep tabs on you, it practically takes up as much time as a full-time job, if not more so. Dump all the demoralization on top of that, and it is enough to make a person just give up and not want to bother any more.

Do you think these people are going to be able to jump through the kind of hoops Indiana demands of them? We are creating a dangerously stratified country: the haves, and the have-nots.
