Evidence is to Kobach what oil is to water.
The problem is nobody demands proof from Kobach. He makes wild, unsupported claims, the press reports them and in a while the claims gain some traction in the minds of Republican voters. We need to have more fact checkers.
The rub is the GOP base doesnât believe the fact checkers. If you site Snopes to a Republican now, they claim it is owned by Soros and no longer trustworthy.
âNew Hampshireâs top Democrats are calling on their stateâs (nominally) Democratic secretary of state to resign from President Trumpâs voter fraud commissionâŚâ
The use of â(nominally)â, even if the sentiment behind is valid (which it is), is kind of a value judgement. I question itâs a use in this article.
And remember: his big schtick is that he has gotten really good at working all the contacts needed to protect the New Hampshire primary. Which most people couldnât care squat about. But which probably brings a pile of tourism and campaign and news dollars to a state that really has no reason for being except as a suburb of Boston.
Which proves the power of the Republican propaganda machine and the inability of Democrats to persuade the general public that the sky is blue and the sun rises in the East.
welcome to the first great example of precisely the kind of gross misrepresentations Kobach intends to make after mining and cherry-picking the date. And if you think itâs too transparent to cause a HUGE reactionary shitstorm, think again:.
Faux News is spinning that shit light-speedâŚand just look at the kkkomments if you want to understand what it generates.
Case in point: the Huckabees (Sarah and Mike) were just on The View, and asked that very question, that Politifact says Trump lies 95% of the time. The Huckabees called it lies, and went on Fox the next day to call the women âirrationalâ.
Actually a decent rebuttal by The View, even from the conservatives:
And thus the BIG LIE is rolled out by the Trumpsters;
Love the expressions on the faces of the TWO former governors - "Really, Bill?!
@paulw "âŚa pile of tourism and campaign and news dollars to a state that really has no reason for being except as a suburb of Boston."
Youâre forgetting the âsuburbâ has no sales tax, and cheaper booze and cigarettes, which lure far more Massachusetts dollars over the border than the quadrennial political nonsense could ever hope to provide, and allow us to forego a state income tax, although real estate taxes are fairly stiff.
ETA: And Kris Kobach is a lying sack of shit also too.
Proof doesnât matter anymore. We are in a post-truth world. Voters know they are being lied to. Its the Democrats fault that they arenât âbelievedâ anymore. You fill the peoples bellies and theyâll âbelieveâ whatever you say, at least theyâll act like they do (votes).
Who in the world can trust Kobachâs analysis on anything, much less identifying voter fraud. Everybody knows heâs going to see what he wants to see. The simple fact that he raised issues with people with out of state licenses voted in NH and not realizing the circumstances that legally rectifies those conditions. For him to totally ignore any relevant circumstances and comprehending that theory and then go back to review the data to determine whether there are breaches under the new formulated conditions. See folks white people are ignorant nâs too, and Koback fits the bill!
