I take it as a compliment only for the outrage it causes the ultra-sensitive to see someone vainly taking that label as a badge of honor.

In THIS case (Miami) I think Dr. King would agree that you have a very weak case for voter suppression. We're not talking about Birmingham in 1964 or Johannesburg in 1984, we're talking about Miami in 2014. Notice that your allies have lost interest in this case or we'd have several more pages by now. What should that tell you?Apparently you're still laboring under the illusion that I'm a Limbaugh devotee since you keep tossing that name in there in hopes of causing me butthurt.

Most handicapped people, I would think, would have enough sense to know which party is looking out for their best interests.
Most of the ones I've ever known seemed to be conservative. The exceptions being the mentally ret*d and those inflicted with Downs Syndrome who are mentally in a pliable state and only repeat what they are told. Aside from that, it all depends on an individual's interpretation of best interest is. Not everyone thinks that getting free stuff (at the expense of others) and false empathy (for the sole purpose of gaining or retaining votes) is in their best interest.

I'm just providing an example.
As far as getting free stuff - that's been the Republican battle cry of condemnation since the Romney campaign. But that's an unfair charge when talking about care and services to the disadvantaged, implying that it's done as a bribe, or that it's undeserved.

You know, I should have just written your comeback for you since I knew what it would be. Not that it makes any sense, but knowing you I knew what you'd say.
So I'll post it again and this time put what I said in bold, not that it should be necessary.

This isn't about services for the disadvantaged. If any political entity (e.g. Republican or Democrat) does anything for anyone it's for the purpose of gaining or retaining their votes, not because it's the right thing to do.Read into that whatever you want and add whatever straw men or red herrings you want.
I'm done with it and I need my beauty rest.

Then sleep well in your nest. Perhaps you will be able to sweep down and get that rabbit, tomorrow.
