| Complaints about long lines marred the November election for some. So at the State of the Union, President Obama announced a new bipartisan commission to try and make voting easier. He cited the case of a Florida voter, 102-year-old Desiline Victor, whom Obama said waited in line for hours. "They can´t wait for five or six or seven hours just to cast their ballot," the president declared. "We are betraying our ideals." But while Florida was considered the worst state for waiting times, with one study estimating that 200,000 people gave up because of the wait, another study questions

Early voting has become a nuance procedure for the left to steal more elections.I seriously doubt that people who work at the polls in dem controlled areas have no clue on who´s already voted and couldn´t care less about them being in line again.Is Obama assuming that all the 200,000 voters who gave up were going to vote for him? How did republicans make sweeping gains in Fl. in 2010 suddenly get buried in this past election?
How many of these Florida dolt voters voted for Pat Buchanon thinking it was AlGore?

I am a Florida voter and it took me about 5 minutes in the voting booth, which included voting for/against the 11 amendments. That´s because I had studied the issues and had a marked up ballot with me so I didn´t hold up the line. And Zippy loves to paint negatives with a broad brush.

I have the freedom to be able to vote at off hours and never encounter long lines. But on those few occasions when I have voted during the busiest times, I have never had to wait more than twenty minutes to get to the check in table. O, as usual, is lying.

I guess when you´re a Democrat voting six or seven times, you probably have a six hour wait.
You know, go to polling place #1, vote (about 20 minutes). Get in your car, drive to the next precinct (maybe 30 minutes), find a parking space, pull out that next voter registration card or work on your story why you should vote here (another 10 minutes), walk in and vote (probably a little less than before because you just click the Democrat straight party ticket), and repeat.
Once you´ve done this about 7 times, it´s probably about 6 hours later.

No early voting. Any requests for absentee ballots MUST have valid reasons, enumerated in the law and all absentee ballots returned MUST be notarized, with the exception of military ballots.
I personally know of too many cases where absentee ballots are sent to long term care facilities (nursing homes), taken and filled out by unionized staff members under the SEIU umbrella, and returned. The only time the voter saw the ballot was to sign it, if he/she could.

This story is as bogus as the phony telling it. How far and wide did he have to search to find this poor old woman to help him perpetuate this lie?
I planned for a long wait when I went to vote so took a book with me. The lines were very long, but within minutes a poll worker made an announcement that any disabled or over age 70 people could come to the front and get in a different much shorter line. I was out of there in minutes and would bet this was the case almost everywhere.

There were evidently long lines in FL because there were 11 amendments on the ballot. And evidently most people had not read them previously so they were having to read each one, try to figure out what it was about and then mark the ballot. So it´s not all the fault of the state. Much information was presented in the newspapers prior to the election so if they had been paying attention, there wouldn´t have needed to be long lines. Floriduh voters come thru again!

I rather doubt that this lady even remembers voting, let alone a long wait. Personally, I think anyone who would wait "six or seven" hours to vote must have rocks in their head. Go early or during the work day (I assume this lady didn´t have a job). There are always times when the polls are less crowded.

An hour later it´s basically walk in and vote.

This is a democrat scam to get early voting accepted everywhere. Instant registration and then get them on an SEIU bus that will ferry these people back and forth to the polls for days on end. I´ve stated before that Alinsky taught that because our forefathers gave everyone (even the insane, illiterate and deranged) the right to vote they needed to harvest the apathetic and apolitical among them. The ones who never voted in the past were enticed to vote by community organizers. That is why Obama is pushing it.

Early voting should be outlawed. I think that´s where a lot of voter fraud is being made. Why are there long lines??? Get more voting booths, more front line people that do the paperwork, etc. There should not be a big problem with that. Get some of the city officials to man the desks. The only reason there´s long lines is because there´s not enough ´´stuff´´ to accommodate the crowds. It´s not that difficult to figure out, people. But NO EARLY VOTING - AND I.D. CHECK FOR EVERYONE!!!! We need honest voting not what we had in the last fraudulent election.

There is no reason for anyone to wait more than a half hour at the most congested times. At our precinct we had some elderly folks sitting down while the person that was behind them saved their place. Some kind hearted people even allowed them in line before their turn. It isn´t that big of a deal as most people are very accommodating to these folks. Voting machines can even be taken out to the parking lot for voters who cannot get in and out of the car easily. As usual Barack Hussein Obama is making up stuff. OK, he´s a liar.

I have friends who worked the polls in Cincinnati. A well dressed black man arrived at an inner city voting area. He had no ID but wanted to vote under a name like Althea or some woman´s name. His only ID was an electric bill with Althea´s name on it. He was not allowed to be questioned whether or not that was his name. I realized all kinds of people have all kinds of names but this is only one example of something rather odd that went on that day.

What Florida and other states with 5-10 page ballots need to do is adjust their elections; National one year, State the next. In VA that seems to keep the ballots short. We also hold our local elections in June where I live, I am not sure it is statewide. Voila, you have short lines which move quickly.

Writing in the blog The Review, J.P. Freire performs a devastating examination of how the Associated Press eulogized former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on Monday versus how the news service examined the legacy of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez upon his death. What Freire found was an evident sense of admiration for Chavez’s accomplishments as the Latin American state’s autocratic leader, but a distinct lack of respect for Thatcher’s achievements in office. “Love her or loathe her, one thing’s beyond dispute: Margaret Thatcher transformed Britain,” AP opened the former U.K. prime minister’s obituary on Monday.

Is ObamaCare the reform to end all other reforms? The massive health care law´s problems are well known. Major tax hikes and Medicare cuts will fund a massive new government program, rather than shore up the nation´s finances. ObamaCare already is encouraging companies to cut jobs and work hours. With the administration delaying the insurance exchanges that might help small businesses until 2015, even ObamaCare cheerleaders are growing worried. And the law will leave tens of millions of Americans without health coverage. That´s the best-case scenario,

Even as Congress prepares to debate whether to legalize 11 million illegal immigrants and give them a path to citizenship, analysts are cautioning lawmakers to focus on the other part of immigration: assimilating them fully into America. All sides in the debate agree that assimilation is critical, but in a report being released Monday, the Hudson Institute, a conservative-leaning think tank, says the country has failed on that account in recent years. They found that immigrants — even those who earn U.S. citizenship — have far less attachment to their new home than native-born Americans.

President Obama lives at a time when there are two very different and very well-defined political ideologies. On the one hand, the GOP is fighting for spending contraints, limited regulation, and more personal economic choice. President Obama and his party are more determined than any administration in U.S. history to promote and execute the idea that federal government is best suited to both meet the needs of the people and run the economy. The most fascinating aspect of this yin and yang pull of ideologies is not just that they are taking place at this time in history,

WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth.
