Vote Mitt Romney 2012 for economic-ideological superiority

In 2012 we must vote for Governor Mitt Romney to become our President starting on January 20, 2013 , because of his superior economic intelligence and conservative right wing philosophy . First Governor Mitt Romney is economically smarter than Barak Obama. Secondly Governor Mitt Romney's superior rightwing conservative philosophy is shown in that he is pro God and Christianity, pro life, pro marriage; pro guns-second amendment, pro low taxes, pro low government spending; pro small government, pro unintrusive government, pro traditional and Judeo Christian values; pro Bible reading and prayer in our public schools, pro Christians schools and private education , pro private and free enterprise; pro military spending, anti arms agreements with Russia, pro creation; pro nuclear, pro conservative supreme court judges, pro American sovereignty; pro capitalism, anti communist, anti socialist; conservative on immigration, and pro constitution. Barack Obama is of the inferior liberal and left wing ideology in that he is against every thing that Governor Mitt Romney is for and Barack Obama is for every thing that Governors Mitt Romney is against

voting rights act

Acorn & Black Panthers terrorised hordes of white voters?

If that were true wouldn't {Faux News} have blasted it across the internet & tv for days in its typical holier & more patriotic,than thou red,white, & blue sanctimonious,network of conservative malcontents style.I guess that Chicago which maintained white only neighborhood covenants on housing well into the 80's was proper and legal. You conservatives harbor such a blatant disregard that Barack Hussein Obama is the President,it borders beyond sanity the disrespect you people spew forth continously like a geyser of bitter venom of ignorance.If a man like him were a driver or cook in the whitehouse that would be okay in your warped minds that long for the times of John Wayne, Ronnie Reagan,& Joe McCarthy.

Be it fair

All law abiding citizens should have the right to vote and have that right protected.

But by the same set of rules, those who chose the wrong side of the law or those who are not citizens should be stopped from voting.

In the past I have voted and had to show my voters registration card and a legal identification, whether it be a SS card, drivers licsene, or other document.

Voters Rights Act?

If the Voters Rights Act is to remain on the books it should be used to prosecute ACORN and The Black Panthers that itimidated and threatened voters in the last presidential election. I should be used to protect all voters not just some voters. Biggots of all races should be prosecuted the same.

A bad smell from the Supreme court?

In the past not all citizens were allowed to vote, thats why the voters right act came to be. Not to continue this act only opens the door for biggots in the future to over turn this act.We must do our part to put pressure on our goverment to make sure that this VOTERS RIGHTS ACT ALWAYS REMAIN THE LAW!!!
