what real american would vote for a party that suppresses voters


How can anyone vote for a candidate who's party is trying to win by blocking voters from voting? how un-american can you get? to let corporate puppets elected with corporate funding vote in "alec" agenda to prevent voters access to the ballot box?
that isn't democracy that is exact opposite of what this country stands for!
EXPOSE THOSE TRAITORS!

i guess some identify with cheating to get ahead. they see no problem with it.
politicians see no problem with cheating or lying. the media does it. the wealthiest americans seem to do it too. with these roll models it is not much of a surprise to see rank and file voters being ok with winning at any cost.
i, personally don't call it a win if cheating factors into the count.

By Gerrymandering the districts for the House of Representatives in Washington, the Ohio republicans are fixing this and our later elections to ensure the teaparty remains in power in the House. You can change this by voting for Issue 2, an amendment to Ohio's constitution which establishes an independent commission of 4 repubs, 4 dems, and 4 independents. By making the districts competitive, we will prevent crazy extremists like the tea party from being elected again. Spread the word.

I'm not a "traitor" to anything. I never took an oath of loyalty to the Democratic party. It doesn't automatically get my support.
