#1 “Now, I’m a Democrat. Make no mistake about it. But at the same time, I believe that part of being a Democrat is the freedom to place a color on the quilt that reflects your thinking, because that makes up the body of what this process is about,” said Barnes.

Apparently you haven't read the internal memos. Now get back in line before the donks character assassinate you for going off the reservation.

#2 Last week, Chris Redfern, head of the Ohio Democratic Party, resigned in disgrace after presiding over sweeping losses of every statewide office, a record-breaking majority of Republicans elected to the Ohio legislature, and the utter collapse of the Democrats’ candidate for governor.

Failed to rig the vote and deliver as in 2008 and 2012?

#3 I don't think it was "racist" in the classic meaning of the term (although who knows what is classic anymore given the deconstructionists) but rather the usual political retaliation for anyone, anyone who didn't toe the party line.

I believe that to some extent Ohio voter rolls have been cleaned of duplicate and dead registrations, which would have hindered -- to some extent -- vote rigging. Also, I understand that vote rigging works better when the votes are close, or in party machine precincts.

#6 The lawsuit further alleges that after [Rep. Armond] Budish was elected House Democratic leader in 2010, Barnes was told by Democratic leadership that he would not be permitted to communicate with Budish about committee assignments “as white Democratic legislators are permitted to do.” Instead, he was told he would have to communicate only through the leader of the Legislative Black Caucus.

Sounds more like the Legislative Black Caucus is acting like a legislators' union.

And especially 2014.

How sweet the 2014 election results were but it looks like "O" is going to continue to do as he damn well pleases judging from all his statements. He doesn't realize elections have consequences. There are going to be two very contentious years ahead.
A lot can happen in two years what with court cases, hearings, and Congressional investigations. Obama will be a very busy man trying to bury evidence, dealing with a flood of Pub legislation, and vetoing .
