The original inquiry was about people who voted and refused jury duty
because they were not citizens. That was a pretty big number. I am not

All I said was to prosecute THOSE people for perjury. Perhaps you are
putting words in my mouth.

Well, you're a funny guy but it was Rick Scott who approved the list
of 182,000 to purge. Thank goodness the Republican election officials
in Florida have more common sense than the governor.

I will say it again, I am not sure how they got to 182,000 but the TV
station here, that started this mess, had no problem finding a bunch
of people who perjured themselves somewhere. You can have it both
ways. If you are a citizen to vote, you are a citizen when they call
you for jury duty.

We still don't have a good reason why ICE is not helping the election
officials ... except that they work for the president.

Not even George Bush would have sicked ICE on the election process.

It's astounding to me that you don't recognize how that undercuts the
premise and promise of freedom our constitution guarantees. Maybe
you're not a big fan of freedom and civil liberties.

ICE is only concerned with aliens (legal and illegal). Are you saying
we should be giving aliens the vote?

I bet you would not feel the same way about them if we had a mass
influx of Germans who tend to be conservative.

There isn't a country or population on the planet more conservative
than the United States at present. Did you happen to hear what Jeb
Bush said about Republicans recently?

Reagan believed in collective bargaining (although he did fire the air
traffic controllers) and Bush Sr. raised taxes.

They'd both be considered commies by today's Republican standards.
