Saturday Afternoon Thread: “My Party Is Full Of Racists!”

OMG! I saw Blaque trending on Twitter and found this. RIP Natina.

Natina Reed Of R&B Group Blaque, Dead At 32

Natina Reed, member of 90′s R&B girl group Blaque, was killed in a hit-and-run accident as she walked across a street in Atlanta, GA, last night, October 26, according to a number of notable Atlanta figures.

Natina, a protege of Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, was the rapper in Blaque, whose most famous song was “808.” She is survived by her 10 year old son Tren Brown, whose father is rapper Kurupt.

The femcee also starred in the hit movie Bring It On alongside Gabrielle Union.

Tomorrow would have been her 33rd birthday. Our prayers and condolences are with the Reed family.

Col Wilkerson is from South Carolina. You can hear that Southern drawl in every word he speaks.

On top of that, he dropped out after 3 years of college and joined the military VOLUNTARILY in 1966 in the hick of the Vietnam war.

He’s like I wish “yea I said it, I wish y’all draft dodging mofos would roll up on me with some shit!”

As early vote-day dawns, 1.2m Floridians have voted by absentee ballot. GOP 5-point lead won’t last long

The first day of in-person early voting, which Democrats typically dominate, began this morning with long lines and lots of enthusiasm (story here). The weather was also perfect in South Florida, a boon to President Obama, who needs a large turnout in the liberal stronghold to counteract GOP gains in absentee ballots, which have been mailed in (background on what it all means is here).

Right now, the GOP leads by about 5 percentage points. Around this time in 2008, Republicans led by more than 15 points. But then early in-person voting happened, and Democrats ran up a huge pre-Election Day lead.

This is a BFD!!!

U.S. Set to Sponsor Health Insurance

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will soon take on a new role as the sponsor of at least two nationwide health insurance plans to be operated under contract with the federal government and offered to consumers in every state.

These multistate plans were included in President Obama’s health care law as a substitute for a pure government-run health insurance program — the public option sought by many liberal Democrats and reviled by Republicans. Supporters of the national plans say they will increase competition in state health insurance markets, many of which are dominated by a handful of companies.

The national plans will compete directly with other private insurers and may have some significant advantages, including a federal seal of approval. Premiums and benefits for the multistate insurance plans will be negotiated by the United States Office of Personnel Management, the agency that arranges health benefits for federal employees.

- — –Richard Mourdock’s Extremist Views Are Shared by Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan – —

– — –Over the past eleven years the word extremist has become entrenched in the lexicon when describing terrorists or Islamic radicals, but it can certainly apply to any group whose ideology is outside the perceived center of a society or violates common moral standards. Extremism can be defined as beliefs, attitudes, or actions far removed from the ordinary depending on the observer’s values and moral scope. It is disturbing that in a moderate society like America, extremism is rising to keep pace with radical Islam and as usual, it has as its basis religious dogmata, notably, the Hebrew scriptures that many conservatives believe should replace the Constitution as the law of the land. For the past few days there has been outrage over Richard Mourdock’s remark that rape is a form of god’s blessing on a woman, but his so-called extremist view is the mainstream position of the Republican Party including the party’s presidential ticket.

If Americans recall, the official platform of the Republican party concurs with Mourdock’s extremist understanding of pregnancy resulting from the violent act of rape. It is crucial to note that rape is, next to murder, as traumatic and heinous an act against a woman there is, and regardless a person’s religious views or intrinsic misogyny, it is a crime unlike any other as far as the degree of viciousness and intrusion into a woman’s body. Vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan cavalierly contends rape is just another form of conception, and he cemented his pro-life credibility working in concert with Missouri senatorial candidate Todd Akin in co-sponsoring a federal personhood bill, the Sanctity of Life Act, in 2009 that gives a zygote the same Constitutional rights and privileges as an adult with total disregard for a woman.

In Person Absentee Voting in VA

Va. electoral board offers guidance as storm nears

The Virginia State Board of Elections is advising local registrars to accommodate voters who ask to vote absentee because of the potential impact of Hurricane Sandy.

In-person absentee voting is being conducted on weekdays and the last two Saturdays before election day. The board is urging localities to keep registrar offices open and continue the in-person absentee voting unless the storm makes conditions unsafe for employees and voters.

It’s simply reviewing the opportunities to return Jeep output to China for the world’s largest auto market. U.S. Jeep assembly lines will continue to stay in operation.
