Texas congressional candidate says Obama deserves cancer 'or worse,' blames former president for inadequate health care system'I say that having lost a parent to brain cancer after 12 years of fighting, and getting to see just how terrible our Healthcare system is, and I still think he deserves it or worse,' Justin Lecea wrote in a since-deleted tweet. Disappointed, but not surprised. The GOP is pretty much a parody of itself, now. No facts, all fake. Republicans demolished much of the ACA or Obamacare in a deliberate attempt to lessen its impact because Republicans are just out for themselves and their greedy friends. Gotta love those Bernie candidates.

AP Exclusive: Thousands of Ohio absentee applications deniedCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Thousands of Ohio voters were held up or stymied in their efforts to get absentee ballots for last year’s general election because of missing or mismatched signatures on... Too lazy to sign or to use their same signature isn’t the fault of election officials. I doubt election officials are hyper scrutinizing of signature match, but rather flag only notably variant signature. So you are suggesting that every error should be ignored and ballots should be accepted no matter what ? Such a non-story with a headline meant to deceive.
