Hypocrisy is defined in its simplest terms as "claiming to have a certain belief or position while acting contrary to those beliefs", or putting it even more clearly, "saying one thing and doing another". Now, with that understanding; please, please consider the following facts about the Democrat Party in America today.
First, they claim to be the champions of free speech and protect Communists, Socialists, Labor Unions or radicals like the Occupy Wall Street group when they espouse their anti-American rhetoric. However, when the Catholic Church or Rush Limbaugh says that we, as a country, should not be required to pay for birth control; then these same Democrats call for them to be censored? So, the Democrats are not really supportive free speech, unless it is speech that they approve of. Sound backward? Sound contradictory to logic? It gets better.
How about voting rights laws. There is little doubt that the Democrats stole tens of thousands, possibly millions of votes in the last presidential election. Their primary agent, Acorn has been repeatedly found guilty of voter fraud in several major cities around the country. The total number of convictions so far is well over two dozen with more still in courts. But guess what, Acorn is still one of the Democrat party's biggest support groups. They are still getting money from Obama (I mean you). In one recent vote stealing scheme, an Acorn employee admitted to filing multiple voter registration applications for the same individuals and registering himself and other voter registration canvassers to vote multiple times.
How on earth can this happen you ask? It is easy. Democrats rig the system and then protect it. Right now there are a number of legal challenges taking place all across the country in anticipation of the upcoming election. The Democrats have to get everything set up so they can steal as many votes as possible. So, when a state declares that a voter must show a valid identification card before they can vote; Democrats come to the rescue screaming racism! Huh? You see, if you are going to steal votes, like the guy up in Wisconsin recently admitted to, then having to show an ID can cause you problems.
So the Democrats, who claim to be all for fair elections, refuse to allow states to require an ID. Yet, these same Democrats have no problem requiring you to have an ID to buy tobacco, alcohol or fly on an airplane. But to require the same for voting is discrimination according to them! Folks, any honest person can see that the Democrats are liars through and through. The truth is, the only reason they don't want to require IDs for voting is because it would hurt their ability to have illegal aliens, underage teens and others voting ... and voting ... and voting in the major cities. If no ID is required, what is to prevent someone from voting a dozen times under a dozen different names with a dozen different addresses? Nothing.
And that, my friends is largely how we got the most incompetent man in history as our President. Go look at a votes-by-county map of the last presidential election and you will see that Obama won the big states only because he won the big cities. Without big city vote stealing, he loses; and he will lose big this time unless they can steal the big cities again.
It's time we speak up and call our congressmen and demand a voter identification requirement. That — or you can get comfortable with four dollar a gallon gasoline and an eight dollar gallon of milk!

The U.S. has long had a reputation of being arrogant and imperalist. We use the threat of withholding foreign aid to countries who do not do as we say.
Obama did not apologize for America. Just months after he got in office it started bubbling in the conservative blogs that he had apologized. He was trying to rebuild relations with Europe where opposition to the Iraq war was high. George W. Bush made that same charge against the Clinton Administration in 2000.
It does not matter what Obama does or does not do, the Republicans made up their minds when he was elected not to work with him and every day they have proven it. It is not about Republicans and Democrats, it is the people of this country that they should all be working together for. But the Republicans made it personal against Obama!
Mrs. Nay, You raise many different issues and clearly you suffer from an acute disdain of our president [you are an american, right?] I would hope that you could agree that the previous adminstration left President Obama with one hell of a mess. If, given the condition of the nation in 2008, you still refuse to give any credit to our sitting President that is your right.
You are off the mark on most of the new issues that you raised. It would seem to me that to disagree with you is pointless. It is clear that no amount of facts would change your mind. Many folks perfer to live in a bubble and that is your choice. I am disapointed that you refuse to admit that Mr. Obama is our duly elected president of The United States of American :0[ So Mrs. Nay I do wish you the best of luck. Should you have a softening of your heart it would bring a smile to my face. :o}
Now Mr.Nay why should anyone be forced to travel some distance, stand in line and pay 10 bucks to vote? We do not need to go back to a poll tax. We should make it easier for our citizens to vote not harder, given the fact that very little fraud exist.
Yes Mr.Nay Mr.Obama is my President and I'm saddened that it appears that you are not big enough to say the same thing. :o[
As for Obama-Care, the CBO has scored the plan as a money saver. Over the first 10 years more than 100 billion saved, over the second 10 years about one trillion will be saved. It also does away with pre-existing conditions, allows kids to stay on their parents plan till 26 years of age. It also closes the doughnut-hole for seniors. It will cover roughly 40 million more Americans just for openers, I think that is a good thing. Bet you never heard that on Fox Noise.
You can vote for the Democrats and help the average person, or you can vote for the Republicans and give even more tax breaks to the very rich. As for me the choice is very clear!
First off, it's Mrs. Nay.
Secondly, because I don't side with you, I've been in the sun too long, that's according to you lol. While yes, I live in a sunny state where our summers are quite warm and our winters are very mild, I do not stay in the sun at length. Therefore that shoots that theory down. What's next?
You asked me, Why should anyone be forced to travel some distance, stand in line and pay 10 bucks to vote? Simple..it was proven time and time again that multiple people voted several times in the last general election. Were these people prosecuted? Not to my knowledge. How do you know that illegals are not out there voting time after time after time? How would you accept it if illegals were voting Republican? Oh I can hear it now, "Off with their heads"! If an honest election can not be held, what's the purpose of having one?
Of course it's fine that O is your president and please don't be saddened on my account that I don't consider him mine. I don't need you to feel sad for me nor do I need him and his arrogant self to apologize to other countries for me.
As for all the savings on Obamacare, it will never happen.
What ever happened to all the money from Cash for Clunkers? A study published after the program by researchers at the University of Delaware concluded that for each vehicle trade, the program had a net cost of approximately $2,000, with total costs outweighing all benefits by $1.4 billion. Oh yeah that worked great!
How about his 787 Billion dollar stimulus that was to keep unemployment rates from exceeding 8% yet it topped 10%?
Something like 3 million was given to BP before the oil spill and here's pork barrel spending for you...and it subsidize a study on what happens when monkeys snort coke. bahahaha how stupid!
And yet, another 535 million to Solyndra who just closed their doors and filed bankruptcy! All of this spending with money we are borrowing..how bright is that?
He spoke the words himself stating that he would bankrupt the coal industry, does that not mean anything to you or your family if you live in WV or any of the other coal mining states?
He has let the EPA put tighter restrictions on coal mining and yet people still want to vote for him? Wow that's amazingly smart.
So please enlighten me again how his Obamacare will save us money. He hasn't saved me a dime yet and with gasoline hitting ALL TIME highs you and others STILL want to vote for him??
God have mercy on us all if he gets it for another 4 years.
I'm glad I took my democrat blinders off in 1982.
Because we don't fall into your category, ie Democrat, you lower your standards by name calling. How childish! Can you not carry on an adult conversation without name calling? Do you not know how to debate with out using childish tactics?
There is PROOF out there about voter fraud if you ever decide to get your head out of the clouds and read it, instead of taking the word of CNN, MSNBC or any other type of media.
I stand with Gary on his view that we need voter ID. This would possibly slow down voter fraud. Why is it that only the most Democrats oppose this? What are you or the democrats afraid of?
You stated, that many elderly people and poor do not drive and have a picture ID. This is probably true, however a person can pay a $10 fee and be taken to DMV and have an ID made..SIMPLE! And please don't say, "$10.00!!!!" It's a small price to pay to make sure votes aren't stolen on either side.
And YOUR President is doing such a fabulous job at creating coal mining jobs in WV (sarcastic remark) that WV is flourishing like no other state. Oh and let's not forget Obama care something HE thinks is for our own good, which more than likely your great grandchildren will be paying for, oh and God forbid someone take away all those food stamps!! He has done more damage to this country in 4 years than any president has in 8, so get over it, it's truth!
People are just so dead set to vote Democrat they can't see past their eyelashes to see where this country is headed.
Anyone who voted for Obama, had better wake up before you lose everything you've ever worked for.
Nay
Our, mine and Gary's President Mr. Obama is doing a very good job! In view of the mess he began with when he took office many would say a outstanding job. We, as a reasonable people must give this bright young man a second term to continue to right this ship of state of this great nation.
My grandfather said if people are complaining they arent' breathing. In other words, they would rather complain than find a solution and fix it.
Some of these people should run for President and see just how hard it is to run a country. And don't say you would do it better. You don't know that.
I don't blame the Democrats for "everything". But, when they are clearly wrong, I will scream it from the rooftops. And, they are extremely wrong in this case. Voters should have to prove who they are and where they live before they are allowed to cast a vote. PERIOD. And, the ONLY people opposing are Democrats. This is just plain facts.
Did he vote for and support Obamacare, openly flipping the bird to the majority of his constituents in S. WV?
Did Nick tell us that there would be NO abortion funding in Obamacare? Yes, he did, but, turns out there is...just ask the Secretary, Health and Human Services, YOUR new doctor.
Did Nick and Nancy tell us that Obamacare would cost LESS than one trillion dollars? Yes, they did, but, the CBO, just last week, announced the bill has gone up to nearly TWO TRILLION dollars.
Weren't we all told that we could keep our own doctor, if we wished? Yes, we were, but, according to the CBO, over 20 million Americans stand to lose their employer sponsored coverage under Obamacare, with no other place to go except Dr. Barack.
The issue now before the Supreme Court is, can the Federal government FORCE you to buy a product, in this case, Obamacare? Obama says yes, he can use a fine or threat of jail to make you buy his program. However, the Constitution says no. Let's all hope the Court holds to and defends our Constitution, especially since our Congressman will not.
