Papantonio: Voter Rights Conspirators Have Gone to Prison

[GoLeft TV]

Mike Papantonio appears on The Ed Show on MSNBC to discuss the Justice Department’s order to Florida Governor Rick Scott to stop his illegal voter purging, and what might happen to Scott if he doesn’t listen.

1. He wasn't very clear, unfortunately.

4. You know I love you, but consider the source.

You're a kid compared to so many of us.

But I still love you, so smart in so many ways.

6. WHA?

I ain't no kid, AND I'm an attorney, AND Pap was NOT CLEAR. I rarely watch him, so in that respect, maybe I'm a kid.

2. 'Are there no work houses? Are there no prisons?' Actually, there are...

[DCKit]

5. Any that pay minimum wage? I'm so there.

7. My first job in construction in 1974 was a big step up for me.

I'd been making from $0.00 to $2.00 an hour before they hired me. I was proud to be in a union job working as an apprentice. They started me at $3.35 an hour. It went a long ways then:

1974 Prices

Bread: $0.28/loaf
Milk: $1.39/gal*
Eggs: $1.24/doz*
Car: $4,440
Gas: $0.53/gal*
House: $38,900
Stamp: $0.10/ea
Avg Income: $14,711/yr
Min Wage: $2.00/hr
DOW Avg: 616

*Where I lived, those were much lower.

3. Pap Doesn't take any crap.

I like that.

8. There's something I don't understand, and that is what somebody doesn't understand

This seems perfectly clear to me. The DoJ has told told Governor Scott to cut out that voter purging shit. It violates federal law.

Governor says that he's not targeting minority voters. If you believe that, I've got some beachfront property by the Sea of Tranquility I'd like to talk to you about. In any case, Governor Scott has until next week to tell the DoJ how he is going to comply. If he tries to go through with his plans, he may have the feds taking a hand in running Florida's elections in the Fall. Yes, they can do that under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

9. The DOJ has time to prosecute 70-year-old cancer patients for MJ...

.. they have time to supply guns to Mexico....

Probably won't find the time to deal with criminal pRick Scott.
