5. America and voters understand what the GOP is about, hijacking the country.

The GOP has never presented to any court where voter fraud has taken place. But the Judges always seem to rule for them. Is that because the GOP controls the courts, like McConnell is now trying to do.

[Cosmocat]

24. I would say that about 20% don't understand

IMO, most voters do in fact understand.

The understand very well, in fact.

I would say only about 20% or so don't understand, the mushy "middle types" who are either really dense or seriously not paying attention.

IMO, both democrats and republicans fully understand.

The problem is that while democrats hair stands on end over it, repubilcans are just fine with it.

So, we really only have about 35% or so of the country that both sees what republicans are doing and really care about it.

[Cosmocat]

25. another note

I am not sure how it has turned out in other states, but in Pa you had the same thing, where several republican ass hats flat stated that voter ID was going to help them win elections.

It didn't matter because the state is so gerrymandered beyond any reason that the Rs, who again are just fine about it, keep putting their asshat republicans back into office - we have an absurd ration of congressment 13 Rs and 6 Ds for a state that is at worst a toss up.

That said ... THANKFULLY, our courts threw their voter ID bill out. But, again, instead of these assholes being punished in the ballot box, this state just slept through the whole thing.

6. Doh!

[MyOwnPeace]

7. Nothing new............

Pennsylvania's got a House Majority Leader that helped pass a voter ID law, then said, "This will allow Romney to win Pennsylvania."

er..........

guess he missed that one!

Way to go, Rep. Turdseye!!!!!

[SpankMe]

8. This is a smoking gun statement, as far as I'm concerened.

The justice department needs to add this to the stack of evidence justifying an investigation and enforcement action.

If I haven't said that Republicans are fuckers, lately - Republicans are fuckers.

[Still In Wisconsin]

11. Pig fuckers, to be more specific.

[red dog 1]

20. The Justice Department won't do anything about this

They're too busy with other matters, such as making sure that former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, an innocent Democrat, rots in prison for a crime he didn't commit

"In 2009, the Obama Justice Department requested that Judge Fuller sentence Siegelman to 20 more years in prison when his appeals are finished"

21. Nah. Remember this guy?

This happened on the floor of the PA House during the 2012 election - and it didn't even get a yawn.

[Fritz Walter]

9. It's the ONLY way they can maintain their slender grasp

Other than Gerrymandering, which has essentially the same effect.

[Still In Wisconsin]

10. Wisconsin Republicans attitude lately: Yeah, we've rigged the game... fuck you! What are you gonna

do about it?

[appalachiablue]

12. K & R. Outright and bold now is the GOP about vote suppression..

[Ferd Berfel]

13. These people need to be in Jail

and after their sentence is up - banishment from all US property globally.

[world wide wally]

14. We already know that,

We already know about corps hiding their money offshore too.
We know Bush/Cheney lied us into war

We know lots of things, but nothing every happens over them.
That's the problem.

So what are we going to do about the voter suppression?
Re-elect Republicans so they can do more?

[Initech]

15. Hey we are all thinking it!

[d_legendary1]

16. We've known this since the 80's

And here we are 40 years later bitching about it:

[pansypoo53219]

17. the GOP brand is no longer desired, so they win thru cheating. DEMOCKRASEE!

power corupts. good job gnewz media.

[Scuba]

18. By "little bit" Glenn means the 300,000 people disenfranchised by the Republicans in Wisconsin.

When you can't win on policy, cheat.

[Zambero]

19. This is the Republican equivalent of honesty

Letting the truth of intention slip out, when they had lied earlier about "preventing rampant voter fraud". The same slip of the tongue happened in PA a few years back in '12, as the GOP was delirious that voter suppression would carry the state for them in the general election, but it didn't quite turn out that way. Keep those sound bytes a-comin'!

[captainarizona]

22. and whining about it gets us where?

President Obama could send in troops to protect the right to vote. There is no right to stop an american citizen from voting. Arrest those who prevent american citizens from voting on violation of the voters civil rights. Also treason should apply here too!

[Sky Masterson]

23. I hate to agree with Grothman

But he is right on Hillary being the weakest candidate we can possibly put up.
Oh, wait. Millions of people who are pretty put off by her are going to suddenly get butterflies in their stomachs for Hillary.:eyesroll:
Our country is like a childish school and these two are running for student counsel President.
People vote for who they like for often the lamest of reasons but they do vote for who they like in most cases.

[Cosmocat]

26. Yep

I gave up on the romantic notion of the wisdom of the voters after the 2010 bloodbath.

NO reason, NONE to give Rs any power after they ran the country into the ground, and in all our wisdom we not only gave them power of both chambers, we did it by electing the most insane rat fucking jackasses they Rs could get on to ballots.

I am voting Bernie, but have said repeatedly all along he was a longshot to win the nomination because of what you posted.

People are people, and they are dumbasses (generally) before, during and after they walk into a voting booth.

[Sky Masterson]

27. You have to give people someone that they want to vote for.

The Democrats are notorious for putting bland unlikable candidates up who lack the ability to inspire.
Obama is proof that when the Democrats put a person on the ticket that inspires then we win.
Nobody including Bill Clinton(If eligible) could have beat Obama in 08.
