You love quoting yourself, if you posted it before and I missed it please use that tactic again-
You are the one making personal attacks, and if you like, I can respond in kind.
Did not hit a nerve, just tangled with someone who does not suffer fools gladly.
No, I did not say what you claimed. At least you have the decency to admit it. Now if you could only work on not doing it in the first place, we might get somewhere.
If you think I am going to rehash the entire discussion for you because you are too lazy to read the thread, then you are sorely mistaken.
The only reason I quoted myself was to show that what was asked had already been covered. Most people have the innate intelligence to understand when they are being treated like a child.

My argument has substance, if yours had any, you would do some research and post something besides a blanket condemnation of all poor people as leaches on the public dole. Your opinion is bigoted and disgraceful.

So, what you are saying is that you still haven't done a scrap of research about your 'theory' and have not understood what has been presented as a rebuttal.
OK then.
Please post what other countries have bus loads of people being driven around registering and voting in every town they come to.

I know several people who are poor and I do mean flat out totally broke. And they have been for at least the last 40 years.

They always vote Republican since they think they are saving the nation from the horrors of the Democrats. When you point out to them that they would have a better life under the Democrats (and I am not saying this is true, I am only relating what their response is to such a comment) they say it is worth the sacrifice in order to maintain a decent society.

Poor around here is another word for minority.

Is that a fact?

No poor blacks vote republican, or few poor blacks vote republican?

I'm sure there are a few. But the number is insignificant.

I take it you have never encountered sarcasm. I quoted your post, number 89 in this thread, which you now deny having posted. I have read this thread. The details you tout are not there. The only person here not able to make a cohesive and logical argument is you. Where do you quote a source? Where do you show that people can get the same information as you? If I am indeed so wrong, I am sure some of the others here would gladly show me my error.
You also still have not answered me about who the oppressed voters truly are. Do you know?

You're a funny guy.

Also, when you quoted my post, you changed what I wrote, and deleted the context.
Clear violation of TOU, and chickenshlt to boot.

Until you can learn some manners and educate yourself (beyond presenting what passes for conspiracy theories in your world) please just move along.

Y'all have a nice day now, hear?


Oh yeah... it's 'Suppression' not 'Oppression'. The words are not synonymous.
