Article: Strassel: The President Has a List
Remember Nixon?
President Obama is giving the appearance of Nixon-like abuse of presidential power to secure his own election.
GOP and Romney campaign contributors are being targeted for aggressive attack campaigns by KeepingGOPHonest. These are not political activists who put themselves in the limelight through press releases, protest marches, and campaign events. They are simple contributors whose only offenses are that they signed checks to the GOP. For daring to support the opposing team, Obama supporters have started a campaign to smear these donors and disrupt their ability to do business.
This type of intimidation is simply bad politics. It's corrupt. It disrupts the democratic process.
When considered with other tactics used by this administration, such as the rewriting of American history on the White House website, or the recent bill limiting free speech in areas secured by the Secret Service, it starts to paint a fairly unflattering picture for this president's ethics.
I want a fair election that allows for a traditional democratic process. I don't see that coming from this administration.
I have yet to find a good argument against proving your ID to vote.
ReplyDeleteOpponents of voter ID verification keep saying it disenfranchises people. When I find someone like that, I simply ask "Do you have a driver's license or ID card?", and the answer has been 100% Yes.
So who, exactly, are we disenfranchising? (aside from dead people, illegal aliens, and vote stealers who vote multiple times at a precinct. These people tend to have Democrat votes issued for them.)
I'm confused, Don. This post isn't about voter fraud...
ReplyDeleteI'm confused too, but that's probably because I haven't watched the news in 20 years. One of things I did hear about Mitt was that he had a lot of money and a lot of people around him with money that could back him. It doesn't matter which side you are on, the media will always dig for dirt. That's their job. Most of it is total junk, which is why I don't concern myself with it, but it's going to happen. Saying "bad", "politics", and "corrupt" all within a couple of sentences is very redundant.
