Remember in 2000 when the slimeballs that ran the Algore campaign sent dozens of slimeball lawyers to Florida to try to get as many military votes as possible thrown out because they were supposedly received by the Florida Secretary of State too late, and therefore should not be counted?
Well, they’re at it again, this time sending their ambulance-chasing dirtbag lawyers to court in Ohio to try to stop as many military people from voting as possible.
So, let’s see if I have this right:
Massive voter fraud for Obama and dumocrats in dumocrat-controlled urban precincts is a good thing.
Illegal criminal aliens ineligible to vote voting for Obama and dumocrats is a good thing.
Convicted felons ineligible to vote voting for Obama and dumocrats is a good thing.
Dead people supposedly unable to vote (due to the fact that they’re DEAD!) voting for Obama and dumocrats is a good thing.
Various miscreant dumocrats ineligible to vote voting illegally numerous times for Obama and dumocrats is a good thing.
But giving our military an extra three days to vote in Ohio is such a terrible thing that the libs sent their scumbag lawyers scrambling into court to stop this atrocity from happening!
So, the next time you hear some lying lib slimeball POS (like Chicago-based Obama thug/loser David Axelrod) bending over backwards and going into contortions on TV or on the radio trying to convince you that they care about and respect our military personnel, just remember this and ask yourself: “If you losers love the military as you claim, why do you always, ALWAYS, do everything you can, not only to not count their votes when they do vote, but try to stop them from voting altogether by giving them a measly extra three days to vote?”
Axelrod defends suit on Ohio military voting law, calls Romney’s stance ‘shameful’
Top Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod on Sunday defended Democrats’ lawsuit challenging an Ohio law on early voting for U.S. service members and called Mitt Romney’s portrayal of the case “shameful.”
The Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee filed the suit to block a new state law allowing men and women in uniform to vote up until the Monday right before an election, while the cutoff on early voting for the rest of the public is three days earlier.
“The way Gov. Romney stated [the situation] is completely false,” Axelrod said on “Fox News Sunday.” “It’s shameful that Gov. Romney would hide behind our service men and women.”
Axelrod’s comments were the most recent in a back-and-forth since the suit was filed last month in a federal court in the battleground state of Ohio.
“President Obama’s lawsuit claiming it is unconstitutional for Ohio to allow servicemen and women extended early voting privileges during the state’s early voting period is an outrage,” Romney said Saturday.
The Obama campaign responded within hours to Romney’s comments Saturday, saying, “Mitt Romney and his campaign have completely fabricated a claim that the Obama campaign is trying to restrict military voting in Ohio.”
Obama campaign officials said the suit doesn’t attempt to restrict the voting rights of military members. The officials said they filed the suit to try to even the playing field for all Ohio voters by allowing early voting up until Monday for everyone, including members of the military, because they believe a two-tiered, early-voting process is unfair.
Axelrod repeated that point Sunday and suggested Republicans continue to try to find ways to “keep shrinking” the voting population.
By Sunday afternoon, Romney campaign general counsel Katie Biber issued a statement saying the campaign disagrees with the premise of the Obama campaign and DNC’s argument that providing military voters and their families extra days to vote is “arbitrary” and unconstitutional.
The National Guard Association and other military groups said earlier that it’s “offensive” for Democrats to suggest in the suit that it’s arbitrary for service members to get special consideration.
“This lawsuit is not about us,” Biber added. “Last week, respected military groups intervened in the Obama campaign’s lawsuit. They argue that it is absolutely constitutional to give military voters special flexibility in voting, and that it is offensive for the commander-in-chief’s political campaign to argue otherwise. … We agree with these military groups.”
Men and women in uniform typically get more time than other voters to send in absentee ballots since they may be serving in an overseas or domestic location that is not close to their home polling station.
The stakes in this legal battle are huge: Obama is anxious to keep Ohio’s 18 electoral votes in the Democratic column this November. And no Republican has won the White House without carrying the state.

Actually this has a sliver lining. Look at the mess we are in because 0 has the support of the DoJ… uh-hu, now imagine if the military supported him.

OTOH, I see the choice as moot. Who out there could Romney pick as a VP that would be so bad that I would consider sitting out the election? Since I would never vote for obama, my other viable choice is to not vote and I won’t likely be doing that. I guess I could vote for a third party candidate as a protest, but I see little effective difference in doing that versus sitting out.

But as soon as he does something stupid like invade Syria, bomb Colombia or continues Obamacare the Right will turn on him and primary his ass out in 2016.
So he has to choose wisely.

Romney, for my money, is getting more derision from the right than he deserves. He’s not as ferocious as I would like—yet, anyway—but he seems capable of getting there, and even if he has not been as ferocious—yet—as I would like, he seems to have the Obama campaign in full-panic mode, which argues that he knows what he’s doing.
