Karl Rove: Pelosi Sounding Like the Mad Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland

I am not a member of the Tea Party but I haven't seen anything racist about their rallies. In fact one of the best keynote speakers I ever heard at one of their rallies was a Black lady at a Dallas rally. They supported candidates like Marco Rubio (Cuban/Hispanic), Herman Cain (Black) and Raul Labrador (Hispanic) from Idaho.

Did you know there was a "Crash the Tea Party" website where liberals were urged to attend Tea Party rallies with outrageous, racist signs? If you saw or heard something you thought was racist at a Tea Party rally, it is impossible to tell if it was real or sabotage. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmem...

The aim of the Tea Party and most conservatives is simply to return to a federal government with limited powers, as our founding document, the Constitution, intended. I see no hint of racism in that goal, do you?
"Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare but only those specifically enumerated." -- Thomas Jefferson
"[T]he powers of the federal government are enumerated; it can only operate in certain cases; it has legislative powers on defined and limited objects, beyond which it cannot extend its jurisdiction."
-- James Madison, Speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention [June 6, 1788]

When I was in the Navy U.S. industry was clamoring for military-trained veterans, especially those trained in technical schools. As an aviation electronics specialist with a degree I could have gone into the aerospace industry but some friends of mine (lawyers) talked me into going to law school. My technical education and experience were a big help in defending product liability law suits.

First, like a typical lefty, you change the subject and attack Rove's character based on an alleged "rumor", "years ago."

Second, true "voter suppression" is the specialty of Democrats, who worked in Florida during the 2000 election to get military absentee ballots disallowed. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/...

Third, there are a startling number of non-citizens voting in American elections, and more non-citizens have been prosecuted for registering to vote in Florida than in any other state --
"In 2005, the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that up to 3 percent of the 30,000 individuals called for jury duty from voter registration rolls over a two-year period in just one U.S. district court were not U.S. citizens. While that may not seem like many, just 3 percent of registered voters would have been more than enough to provide the winning presidential vote margin in Florida in 2000. Indeed, the Census Bureau estimates that there are over a million illegal aliens in Florida, and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has prosecuted more non-citizen voting cases in Florida than in any other state.

"Some Americans argue that alien voting is a non existent problem (that would be you and other Dims) or dismiss reported cases of non-citizen voting as unimportant because, they claim, there are no cases in which non-citizens “intention­ally” registered to vote or voted “while knowing that they were ineligible.” Even if this latter claim were true—which it is not—every vote cast by a non-citizen, whether an illegal alien or a resident alien legally in the country, dilutes or cancels the vote of a citizen and thus disenfranchises him or her. To dismiss such stolen votes because the non-citizens supposedly did not know they were acting illegally when they cast a vote debases one of the most important rights of citizens.

"The evidence is indisputable that aliens, both legal and illegal, are registering and voting in federal, state, and local elections. Following a mayor’s race in Compton, California, for example, aliens testified under oath in court that they voted in the election. In that case, a candidate who was elected to the city council was permanently disqualified from holding public office in California for soliciting non-citizens to register and vote. The fact that non-citizens registered and voted in the election would never have been discovered except for the fact that it was a very close election and the incumbent mayor, who lost by less than 300 votes, contested it.

"Similarly, a 1996 congressional race in California may have been stolen by non-citizen voting. Republican incumbent Bob Dornan was defending himself against a spirited challenger, Democrat Lor­etta Sanchez. Sanchez won the election by just 979 votes, and Dornan contested the election in the U.S. House of Representatives. His challenge was dismissed after an investigation by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform turned up only 624 invalid votes by non-citizens who were present in the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) database because they had applied for citizenship, as well as another 124 improper absentee ballots. The investigation, however, could not detect illegal aliens, who were not in the INS records.

"The Oversight Committee pointed out the elephant in the room: “If there is a significant number of ‘documented aliens,’ aliens in INS records, on the Orange County voter registration rolls, how many illegal or undocumented aliens may be registered to vote in Orange County?” There is a strong possibility that, with only about 200 votes determining the winner, enough undetected aliens registered and voted to change the outcome of the election. This is particularly true since the California Secretary of State complained that the INS refused his request to check the entire Orange County voter registration file, and no complete check of all of the individuals who voted in the congressional race was ever made."

Fourth, and finally, Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (42 U.S.C. Section1973) provides in relevant part: “Each state shall insure that any eligible applicant is registered to vote. . . and conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters.”

Conclusion: You and Eric Holder are both full of crap, as Florida's purging of its voting lists is not only authorized but required by federal statute.
