Gary Bauer seeks to defeat President Obama’s army of welfare recipients and fraudulent voters

Gary Bauer: Obama’s Votes Come From Welfare Checks And Voter Fraud

Conservative pundit Gary Bauer, the former president of the Family Research Council, which puts on the Values Voter Summit each year, told the crowd at the 2012 conference Friday that it needs to turn out in great numbers to defeat President Obama’s army of welfare recipients and fraudulent votes.

After his speech, Bauer told TPM “voter fraud is rampant in urban areas” and he expected that to help Obama.

Bauer also told TPM that “there are a lot of people who will vote this November because they depend on government largesse,” meaning checks from Washington. He expects those voters to go Obama as well.

“They will vote for their own perceived interests, which is they don’t want anybody cutting back the size of the checks,” Bauer said.

I have despised him and his ilk since he reared his ugly puss during Raygun.

meow2u3 to Bauer: we're on to your dog whistle politics. We know exactly what you mean by "voter fraud", and it's not impersonating another voter. It's voting by minorities en masse. Your straw man is actually made of steel; you won't knock it down, but you will get your fists busted up in the process.

Why don't you just come out and say that you don't want blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, young, old, and disabled people to vote?

To hear half of them talk, the country went down hill when women became allowed to vote. Never mind people like Michelle Bachmann saying the same thing, when she wouldn't even be in office without women being allowed to vote and hold office.

Probably a pre-millennialist. Let's bring on WW III so Jesus can come back.

This guy's a piece of work.
