Mentally Disabled to Vote

I am incredibly steamed this Thanksgiving Holiday over what the Democrats are doing to my country.
Everybody by now knows – or should know – how readily Democrats conduct election fraud, and how determined they are to defend it. James O’Keefe and others have taken videos of paid Democratic operatives encouraging citizens to vote twice. O’Keefe was even able to claim Attorney General Eric Holder’s own ballot at a district polling place by claiming to be him, and then to vote in his place.
Democrats have promoted Motor Voter laws and same day registration, and month-long election days to help them mobilize the votes of people who are so unconnected to the political process and so uninterested in the country’s future, and perhaps so incompetent to understand what voting entails, that they require keepers to see that they get to the polls and then vote the “right” way.
In the election that put Al Franken in the Senate by a few hundred votes, more than a thousand felons voted illegally because of the loose laws that govern the polling booth – laws the Democrats want to make more loose.
It is in fact the number one civil rights issue of the NAACP this year to give felons the right to vote. So we know that Democrats have little respect for the election process, and we should assume will attempt to pursue their victories by any means necessary.
But even knowing this, I was not prepared for a conversation I had at Thanksgiving dinner with my brother-in-law, Henry, who has lived most of his life in a home for the mentally disabled and although now in his 40s, has the intelligence level of a 6-year-old.
“Obama saved me,” he said to me out of the blue.
“What do you mean?”
“I voted for him for president and now he’s saving me.”
I was taken aback by these words, since Henry had no idea who Obama was, or what a president might be, and would be unable to fill out a registration form let alone get to the polling place by himself.
So I asked him how he knew that and how he had registered and cast his vote. In halting, impeded speech he told me that the people who take care of him at the home filled out “the papers” to register him to vote, told him how Obama cared for him, even taught him the Obama chants, and then took him to the polling place to vote. They did the same for all of the mentally disabled patients in their care, approximately 60 in all.
This is so appalling in its contempt for the voting process, which is the very foundation of our democracy, and in its cynical exploitation of my brother-in-law and the other patients in the home, many whose mental capacities are even more limited than Henry's. I am at a loss for words to express it.
I hope poll-watching groups like “True the Vote” will comb the rolls of residents at other homes for the mentally disabled, and attempt to stop this particular abuse. I hope that people who care about our country will make electoral fraud a focus of their political efforts, and work to protect the integrity of the voting process.
“Romney will save you,” he said to me out of the blue.
“What do you mean?”
“I voted for him for president and now he’s saving me.”
I was taken aback by these words, since Henry had no idea who Romney was, or what a president might be, and would be unable to fill out a registration form let alone get to the polling place by himself.
So I asked him how he knew that and how he had registered and cast his vote. In halting, impeded speech he told me that Fox News filled out “the papers” to register him to vote, Fox News told him how Romney cared for him, even taught him the Romney Mormon chants, and then took him to the polling place to vote. Fox News did the same for all of the mentally disabled patients in their care, approximately 6000000 in all.
Teapigs your 15 minutes is so over even youe won party is trying to wash you off the bottom of their shoe

Anyone/everyone who publicly pumped Intel at 29 is far more evil.
Because we re-elected President Obama…
Did you teabaggers happen to notice that 5 of the last 6 Presidential elections have seen the Dem win the popular vote 5 times?
White Trash like limbuttt and the gang on Fuxed news look even stupider.
Forbes also looks like a dufffasss bag for predicting an easy Rombo win.
In fact, almost all you rightwing trash look stupid--nothing new there.
Because we re-elected President Obama…
We are not going to have a Supreme Court that will overturn Roe v Wade. There will be no more Samuel Alitos or Antonin Scaleas added to this court. Nazi8 #$%$m
We are not going to repeal health reform. EVER
Nobody is going to kill Medicare and make old people in this generation or any other generation fight it out in the open market to try to get themselves health insurance. We saved your grandma.
We are not going to give a 20% tax cut to millionaires and billionaires and expect programs like food stamps and kids’ health insurance to cover the cost of that tax cut. Wallstreet #$%$ have to pay.
We’re not going to make you clear it with your boss if you want to get birth control under the insurance plan you’re on.
We are not going to redefine rape.
We are not going to amend the US Constitution to stop gay people from getting married.
We are not going to double Guantanamo.
We are not eliminating the Dept. of Energy, or the Dept. of Education, or Housing at the federal level.
We are not going to spend $2 trillion on the military that the military doesn’t want.
We are not scaling back on student loans because the country’s new plan is that you should “borrow from your parents.”
We are not vetoing The Dream Act.
We are not self-deporting.
We are not letting Detroit go bankrupt.
We are not starting a trade war with China on inauguration day in January.
We are not going to have as president a man who once led a bunch of friends to run down a scared gay kid to hold him down and forcibly cut his hair off while that kid cried and screamed for help, and there was no apology, not ever.
We are not going to have a Secretary of State John Boulton.
We are never bringing Dick Cheney back.
We are not going to have a foreign policy shop stocked with architects of the Iraq war.
We had the choice to do all that as a country, and we said NO.
Rombo was not the problem--you idiotttts who backed him are the problem but a minority problem.
Sad people like you vote. You live in your own reality. Far removed from reality.
I think I'm going to print that and put it on my refrigerator door.
Libtards are satans decipiles!!!!!!
/giggle
decipiles? What are those, one tenths of a pile?
Nicky you are an idiot no matter which stock you choose to bash and short at the bottom, I guess you truly are a bottom feeder.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
and, of course, republicans are above rapproach..lily white...as usual. DUHHH!
Get an effin brain.
Not sure why I'm surprised at this disgusting behavior since more than 50 percent of the country is mentally ill.
you are a classic sociopath.
Many people are more than SHOCKED at the disgusting Republican behavior. They lost a big chunk of those voters because of their efforts to limit voting and other medieval views.
Everyone knows that there is federal laws relating to voting are directed at protecting rights in the absence of state voting laws. This is just more conservative fake outrage. Why not put energies into avocating fixes instead of faking the anger.
How about ANYONE with an IQ of less than 80 cannot vote. That way you would still be able to vote.
I guess it makes sense for the government to decide who gets to vote or not. That is what you are advocating. RIGHT??
For example in Vermont, there are only 4 rules qualifying a voter:
1. U.S. citizenship
2. Vermont residence
3. 18 years or older (by election day)
4. Voters must take the voter’s oath on, or before, election day (stating that the person
will vote his or her conscience and not be told how to vote by another person)
#4 would filter out those who are real incompetent in Vermont.
IN TEXAS:
You are eligible to register to vote if:
•You are a United States citizen;
•You are a resident of the county where you submit the application;
•You are at least 18 years old on Election Day;
•You are not a convicted felon (you may be eligible to vote if you have completed your sentence, probation, and parole); and
•You have not been declared by a court exercising probate jurisdiction to be either totally mentally incapacitated or partially mentally incapacitated without the right to vote.
In TEXAS you must be declared mentally incapacitated without rights to vote. Vermont seems tougher than Texas.
takes one to know one.
