We all talk about individualism and not stereotyping people based on their color, creed, orientation or looks, but sometimes....

well, let's start with this interesting story:

GOP registration worker charged with voter fraud

By Michael Isikoff, NBC News

A campaign worker linked to a controversial Republican consulting firm has been arrested in Virginia and charged with throwing voter registration forms into a dumpster.

The suspect, Colin Small, 31, was described by a local law enforcement official as a "supervisor" in a Republican Party financed operation to register voters in Rockingham County in rural Virginia, a key swing state in the Nov. 6 election. He was arrested after a local business owner in the same Harrisonburg, Va., shopping center where the local GOP campaign headquarters is located spotted Small tossing a bag into the trash, according to a statement Thursday by the Rockingham County Sheriff’s office. The bag was later found to contain eight voter registration forms, it said. The arrest was reported Thursday night by WWBT-TV in Richmond.

More blah blah at the link. So what does this Mister Supervisor look like?





OK so I erred. Safe for work? Ugh, you be the judge :D



Rural Virginians are so afraid of Obama that they will go to jail just give a Utah Mormon the country to destroy. Behold your base, GOP.

Behold.

ETA: I forgot the obligatory 'my opinion' part. Let me pontificate on the actions of Southern White males with very short hair. While actual damage was not apparant in this case, the implication that people who 'look like him' would risk prison to get out a President who does *not* look like him, or share his values shines like the sun on his oily forhead. If anything, this young man should be fighting the GOP. They are the party of MINE, RIGHT NOW.

Or not, he may be a nice guy who had  redneck paternal peers. Seven felonies is tough for anyone to ovecome. Perhaps there is a reasonable explanation, even though it seems an unreasonable action.

If the people doing this were Democrats you'd be making this a post about how everyone that denied the issue was wrong and should feel horrible about themselves for advocating circumventing the Democratic process. This is why I have a hard time accepting most libertarians as anything but conservatives that want to watch porn and smoke weed.

I'm sure that is all you get out of it, as voter fraud only exists when Democrats do it, eh?

As kylinrouge says (http://talk-politics.livejournal.com/1584583.html?thread=127397319#t127397319), it's not voter fraud.

As most people would say, 123 people in 5 years out of 300 million is not a significant level of fraud enough to pass legislation against, so if we're going to use farcical, nonsensical approaches to serious points.....

And yet we stopped using electronic voting machines because there was the possibility of fraud. We don't need confirmed examples to stop potential holes.

And yet you accept claims about Democrats as a whole with far less evidence than is the case here and in other instances where it's Republicans engaged in voter suppression. Of course given you cite a site that claims democracy is incompatible with freedom with a straight face, I am perfectly free to take a skeptical look to your 'appreciation' of democracy itself.

Such as?
