   And speaking of Virginia, Obama further shows his contempt for American military families through an organized campaign to deny them even the right to vote. Absentee ballot requests by military personnel in Virginia have dropped 92 percent, reflecting the influence of commanders who (like those at Ft Hood) care more about their own careers than those under their command. Eight states (Virginia, Florida, North Carolina, Illinois, Ohio, Alaska, Colorado and Nevada) whose military voters requested 166,252 ballots in 2008 have requested only 55,510 absentee ballots this year. In Mississippi and Colorado, the Democrats who chair election commissions are stonewalling questions on why ballots are sent out late or members receive false information about ballot deadlines. If Obama is such a champion of military families, why is he deliberately obstructing the federal voting law that requires him to make sure that those who serve have this most basic of rights? Jim Crow of 2012 has nothing to do with race, only your service status.

   Florida had a big problem with military absentee ballots in the 2000 election in some counties.

   Netanyahu needs to be slapped down, not just ignored. He wants the US to fund his country’s military AND a guarantee that we’ll join him in a unilateral attack on Iran.

   @Gore Bane

   Are you referring to Roger Hedgecock’s accusation? If so, perhaps you should read this: http://www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2012/09/26/obama-accused-of-suppressing-military-vote-by-withholding-absentee-ballots/

   It’s a similar (false) attack to the Obama-supresses-military-votes-in-Ohio claim that was disproven in:
   -
   Snopes http://www.snopes.com/politics/ballot/military.asp
   -
   Politifact http://www.politifact.com/ohio/statements/2012/aug/06/mitt-romney/mitt-romney-says-lawsuit-filed-president-obamas-ca/
   -
   FactCheck http://factcheck.org/2012/08/obama-not-trying-to-curb-military-early-voting/
   -
   And VoteVets http://votevets.org/news?id=0553

   If you have something that supports your claim, perhaps you can provide some documentation.

   Where is the outrage about Republican voter fraud in FL and NC?
   The Republicans hired a firm known for fraud, changed their name and made up voter names, social security numbers, and used commercial addresses including a Shell gas station.

   @Mr. King

   So, who is supposed to enforce the
   Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act, passed by Congress in 2009 and signed into law by President Barack Obama?

    Speaking of suppressing military votes, how do military personnel fit into the new voter ID laws. Are military personnel exempt from voter ID laws when on active duty, or will they get screwed over like the college students, elderly, and the tax payers who are expected to fund the whole thing?

    I think you meant Soros, and the fact that you’re attacking the messenger rather than disproving the message shows a weak position on your part. Remember, whether Mr. Soros is an Obama apologist or not, the article I linked to has sources at the bottom (4 in fact) that support what the article claims. It is reinforced by the other links I posted from Politifact, FactCheck, and VoteVets. I hope you’ll investigate the facts they present rather than trying to discredit each one.
