bdj: You're speaking for black voters now? Beyond that, there's no evidence whatsoever that it's the case.

What would you accept as evidence, if not black voting patterns and the opinions black Americans have voiced about the Republican party?

bdj: Nor is it the Republicans. Not sure who you're actually talking about.

What would you accept as evidence that the Republicans have been engaging in voter suppression over the past three decades?

bd: No, you're basing it on what you've been lead to believe on the matter, as opposed to using your own eyes to see what is right in front of you.

I've already cited what I've seen with my own eyes.

bd: They have issues with the government mandating or providing those things (thus the issue with giving government money to Planned Parenthood), of course, but the idea of access has not been controversial for some time.

Then why has the Republican Party blocked women's accesss to healthcare in Texas by closing down Planned Parenthood clinics?

bdj: They're not really seeing how choice comes into it.

That's the problem.

bdj: In a way, yes. You have misunderstood the intentions and the actions of those things, assuming racism and voter suppression without evidence.

Jeff, do you even know what consent decree I'm talking about?

bdj: This was 20 years ago, and hearsay at that.

"Hearsay?" You suspect an entire room of reporters all got together and conspired to lie about what Ed Rollins said?

Your entire approach to debate seems to consist of looking up at a clear blue sky and saying, "it's brown." I think at some point you figured out you could "win" an online debate by saying the "sky is brown" and sticking to it.

Do you have any stake at all in reality?
