It will do you absolutely no good to talk facts with that member.

By the way, I found the post written by another member who said he/she didn't want to read a link about the Tea Party, but instead of apologizing to me, you have to come back to accuse me of being sneaky. Amazing! (but not surprising at all)

Also, what posts show I edited since we only have about 10 minutes before there's a note at the bottom saying "edited by..." Show me. You can't, because you are wrong. This is silly. You mixed me up with another poster and you just can't admit it.
Give me the link, with the post where a different person said that, and I will GLADLY apologize to you.

Fair enough?

Then you tell me what's a "Hispanic". Mitt still has lots of family IN Mexico and they're as "Mexican" as a short brown skin Indian from near Guatemala. Sheesh!

It's about your place of birth, not your blood line.

I'm gonna have to DISagree with you there tho I agree with you on almost everything else you say.

Not all Hispanics have any "white" let alone Spanish family but still speak Spanish and so on. OTOH: calling a dude who's almost 100 percent Mexican Aztec family but does NOT speak Spanish and does NOT follow "Hispanic" culture is still a Hispanic tho even if born and raised in Ireland, who knows? The he'd be an "Irishman" to me.

And no, I don't watch Fox News.
I live in Florida. Don't you think I know what's going on in my own state? What does this have to do with MSNBC or Rachel Maddow?

Also, your comment is very judgmental and ignorant. Just because I said I saw Cory Booker on the Rachel Maddow Show, you automatically assume I don't watch any other station or read local newspapers. So apparently you don't watch her show and you are the one who has made up your mind.

You made a statement that Florida simply wants people to show an ID to vote at the polls and I answered by saying that has nothing to do with the recent voter purging controversy in Florida. Why is it that you and so many others can't just say "Oh, I was thinking of something else."

Clearly you need to re-read the Constitution because it says nothing about a right to not purge records based upon DMV records. It only says, race, age, sex and survitude.
