Arizona loses/ Ginsburg a hypocrite

[Tom]

And Hillary has sold her services while in the State Dept to foreign interests.
Where's your outrage over that.

Is the dems who have had the racist leaders in Congress, even KKK members, so I think the GOP views on racism are better than your side's.

But keep posting...it is amusing.

I proud to say that no democrat I know of took money from the White Supremacist group, Council of Conservative Citizens. At least 4 GOP presidential hopefuls have, Walker, Cruz, Paul and Santorum, have. In addition, Romney took money from them in 2012. It is not like the CCC has made a secret of their racist views. If you support any of those four, you are supporting a person who doesn't have problem with racism today. It is today I am concerned about. There is nothing anyone can do change history, but there is plenty we can do to change what is happening today. How well those four do in the coming months, will say a lot about how GOP feels about racism today.

Bill Clinton and Al Gore were unwelcome? Who knew.

Did the Council of Conservative Citizens OFFER any money to any Democrats?? How do you know they wouldn't take it if offered. Very rare for a politician, of any stripe, to turn down money. Unless they get caught and it might be a negative. How many Dems have taken money from the Muslim Brotherhood? Other than Obama, that is.

What White Supremacist groups did Clinton and Gore take money from?

Communist Chinese come to mind as not exactly a good deal for America.

Ask those American citizens of Japanese descent that were illegally and immorally interred thanks to Democrat icon president FDR.

And today, we have a Democrat party that wants convicted felons and murderers to have the right to vote; the Democrats want to give illegal aliens the right to vote, and the Democrats wants our national elections to be counted and certified by foreign entities in foreign countries!

This is your Democrat Party. A party of hate, racism, segregation, lawlessness and corruption.

Could be a real challenge finding that elusive black man or woman who remembers Bird, Gore, Sr., Maddox or Fulbright. But JFK and LBJ should be no problem.

As for Japanese, FDR did what he thought he had to to win the war. But it's nice to know the GOP of today is so concerned about the plight of minorities. Now if you can just convince somebody who is actually a minority.

And thanks for bringing up the Democrats position on ex-cons being given back the right to vote. No restricting the vote on the Dem side!

From the USA Today website:

In a speech to the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights at Georgetown University Law Center, Holder said it is "time to fundamentally re-think laws that permanently disenfranchise people who are no longer under federal or state supervision.''

"These restrictions are not only unnecessary and unjust, they are also counterproductive,'' the attorney general said. "By perpetuating the stigma and isolation imposed on formerly incarcerated individuals, the laws increase the likelihood they will commit future crimes.''

The proposal is an extension of a broader plan first announced by Holder last year to revamp the U.S. criminal justice system, including the re-integration of thousands of former offenders who are returning to communities every year from prison.

Holder said former offenders "continue to face significant obstacles,'' citing laws in 11 states that bar millions from voting.

"Across this country today, an estimated 5.8 million Americans … are prohibited from voting because of current or previous felony convictions,'' Holder said. "That's more than the individual populations of 31 U.S. states. And although well over a century has passed since post-Reconstruction states used these measures to strip African Americans of their most fundamental rights, the impact of felony disenfranchisement on modern communities of color remains both disproportionate and unacceptable.''

He said 2.2 million African Americans, or nearly one in 13 African-American adults, are banned from voting because of the laws. In three states — Florida, Kentucky and Virginia — that ratio is one in five. In Florida, Holder said, 10 percent of the entire population is disenfranchised as a result of the state's prohibitions on ex-offenders.

"The history of felony disenfranchisement dates to a time when these policies were employed not to improve public safety, but purely as punitive measures intended to stigmatize, shame and shut out a person who had been found guilty of a crime,'' Holder said.

Since 1997, Holder said 23 states have enacted changes, including in Virginia where last year the voting rights of former inmates with non-violent felony convictions began to be restored.

First off, I stand by my historically-proven assessment of the Democrat Party being the party of racism, segregation, hate, lawlessness and corruption.

Reminding everyone --especially liberals, progressives, Democrats and their like-minded sycophants-- that their heroes: Woodrow Wilson, Hugo Black, Robert KKK Byrd, Al Gore Jr., J. W. Fulbright, mentor of impeached sex deviant Bill Clinton, FDR, segregationist Lester Maddox... oh the list goes on and on, and never ends, is part of my duty and societal responsibility to bringing truth and justice to all my friends here at PA.

Anything Holder says is discredited because he has violated his Constitutional duties as US Attorney General. But as a reminder, when a person commits a crime against society, and legally convicted in justice and court system, said persons rightfully lose basic rights such as voting. Spin this all you want but I have no sympathy for people who have demonstrated that they are indeed, an enemy of the state.

Holder is a gunrunner, too.

Far too many Blacks have abandoned the shackles of the democrats and rose up to become successful, independent people to use that tired old and untrue excuse. What the dems have done to the Black community is criminal at its best. They destroyed the family unit and created mass dependency on Uncle Sugar.

Nothing is holding back Blacks who really have the desire to rise above it and become fully participating Americans. In spite of the dem's continual degrading them as not able to do so on their own. That is the worst racism out there. Conservatives, at least all the ones I know, have faith that Blacks are fully capable of taking care of themselves and not need to be nannied into submission.

I guess the downside to the repubs is that they are not out there trying to get illegals registered to vote illegally.

Are you sure about that?
