Well, gee, you keep moving the goalposts. First you wanted just any photo, and now you are adding accessories. Maybe we'll get lucky and some Tea Partier will show up in a nifty tri-corner hat with teabags hanging all around it and shiny buckle shoes. If we're REALLY lucky maybe they'll be holding signs that say, "I'm teabagging 4 Jesus!" We can hope.

I'm sure some Democratic nutjob will get right on Photoshopping that. MS has the highest percentage of black population of any state in the country-I doubt they would be readily intimidated.

Anyway, why do we have to provide photos when we have the Tea Party PACS themselves saying they're going to go? Or did we conveniently overlook those posts?

Wait, wait … don't tell me … I know this one ……. YES! Yes, we DID conveniently overlook those posts.

Because Cochran had the audacity to try to reach out to black voters, and the Tea Party is worried that blacks might actually show up to vote for him. Can't have that.

Got to love conservatives. At least they recognize that the only way they can win anymore is to try to intimidate and/or suppress the vote.

Right. When it's that one guy that one time, it's a legitimate photo. On the off chance that someone comes up with a photo some day in the future of a Tea Partier doing the same thing, it's DEFINITELY Photoshopped.

You guys are more transparent than the kitchen window!

No movement at all, just post a photo of a Tea Party person doing anything like this at the polls:



Simple request.

No need. Cooch himself claims he's planning to do it. Whether they get turned away by election officials is still up in the air.

But keep demanding that photo. Without it, GOP darling Ken Cuccinelli is just a big fat liar.

Should they be denied the right to vote because you don't like same day registration? Sounds very anti freedom of you.

What's "anti-freedom" is having one's vote canceled because of voter registration fraud, and same-day registration encourages that.

Also, there's nothing wrong with requiring ID for something as important as voting or having reasonable cutoff periods for registering. I'm tired of the crybabies who don't even want to wait in line now, and want to extend voting time until....forever. Plenty of 18-year olds can wait in line for days for the latest igadget or 200-buck sneakers--they can wait in line to vote, just like the rest of us do.

If it hasn't -- YET, the day is still young -- it's not because of a lack of intent by your heroes in the Tea Party.

I'm sorry for you that you're so obsessed with one guy, one time, in one place, years ago. That reality must be sad and horrifying.

Do you take medications for this obsession?

Why don't you respond to my factual posts about Cooch and his plans? Wait -- I have an idea. If you've got nothing else, why don't you post that photo of that one guy, one time, in one place, again? That'll show us! You really got us now!

Wow, strawman much?

Look! Over there! An irrelevant argument!
