Hillary Clinton Slams GOP on Voting Rights Ahead of Debate

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Just ahead of the first Republican presidential debate, Hillary Clinton told civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton Thursday that Republicans are being "nakedly partisan" when they impose restrictions on voting rights in the name of rooting out voter fraud.

"I don't think I need to watch it," Clinton said on Sharpton's radio show of the GOP debate, "To know that nearly everybody standing on that stage in the first or the second debate has either actively sought to limit the right to vote in their states or supported the efforts to limit the right to vote if they were not governors, but in the Congress."

3. It's good to see Democrats trashing Republicans, not other Democrats.

9. I agree

2. Exactly

Not allowing one person to vote is worse than allowing a thousand people to vote. Blackstone's formulation was brilliant. The Republicans hate it. Hate it.

6. I hope she gets a national stage on which to say that sometime soon.

11. Isn't she already on the stage? Does this mean being on Prime Time T.V.?

I think Hillary is very well reported in most main-stream media (well perhaps not the Murdoch variety.)

I agree with her message. I just wish that other candidates had a proportionate representation.

12. I've seen Sanders MANY more times on various news/interview shows over the last month or more.
