If you can’t get your Sudafed at the pharmacy, you obviously have no business trying to vote. Also:
Supporters of the new laws, including at least one group funded by the billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, have said the new laws are designed to prevent voter fraud. Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, said voter ID laws have wide support, including in the black community.
“It’s hard for me to believe a serious group like the NAACP would come out to say there’s some grand conspiracy to deny people the right to vote,” von Spakovsky said.
No, why would anybody draw that conclusion?
I must have missed the Constitutional amendment that establishes the right to purchase Sudafed.
Jeepers. Now I am having Die Hard flashbacks.
i don’t say that I hate many people.
but, I truly hate this mofo.
Suppressing the minority vote in key states (Ohio and Florida) is more or less a moot point.
What happened with voter suppression in FL for the 2000 POTUS election was hideous.
I’ll never forget most (all?) of the congressional black caucus standing up in congress to protest this violation of fundamental constitutional rights. NOT ONE white congressperson stood up in solidarity.
If ever anyone need proof the fix was in for that particular election– what happened in FL in 2000, then again in 2004 in OH; is all the proof one needs.
So it’s no surprise the wealthy white class will again suppress voters in 2012– and the feeble DNC and DCCC will stand by and watch it happen– as they did in 2000 and 2004.
Yeah, I have to go along with von Sakovsky on this one. If the NAACP is saying there’s a “grand conspiracy” to deny people the right to vote, they’re wrong.
A sleazy, small-minded, wretched conspiracy? Yes.
(Ain’t nothing “grand” about it.)
P.S. “Grand” gets reserved for organizations like the NAACP—which has fought the good fight for over a century.
Bwaaahaahaahahaha
And now a court has convicted one of former Gov. Ehrlich’s (R-MD) aides for trying to suppress the vote in 2010 by using a robocall to black Democrats.
And wasn’t it Paul Weyrich, the late lamented head of the Heritage foundation who said that if everyone voted, Republicans and conservatives lose.
