While some in the media continue to pretend that the Republican Party has learned its lesson from the 2012 election losses and is now seeking to take a more moderate and serious approach to governing.
the reality is that the GOP crazy train is continuing to chug long. The latest example of this fact is that Republicans are continuing their efforts to restrict voting by Democratic-leaning groups through state legislative proposals that would establish significant hurdles to voting.Perhaps the most egregious example of the continued GOP war on voting is in North Carolina, where three Republican State Senators have proposed legislation that is clearly intended torestrict voting by college students.The legislation, the appropriately numbered S666 and its companion bill S667, would prohibit a parent from taking a personal exemption on their taxes for a child who registers to vote at a different address than his or her parent’s. The personal exemption ranges between $2,000 and $2,500 per child and, therefore, would constitute a significant incentive for parents getting their children not to register to vote when they go to college.
the sheer brazenness of the republican party is devoid of respect for those they want to give them the jackpot, what gets to me is they tell us this their intent to disrupt and block remember McConnell, "my number one job is to make Barack Obama a one term president" amid cheers from the "i don't care if you are crooks" base which are just as complicit to keeping you down as those they chose to put in office.
In addition, the legislation would require that a registered voter have his or her car registered at the same address as they are registered to vote at, which would additionally discourage college students from registering to vote when they go to college if their car is registered at their parents’ home.S666 would also restrict the ability of election judges to rein in polling place observers who are interfering with people who are attempting to vote, while a series of other legislative proposals would shorten early voting, end early voting on Sundays, enact a strict voter ID requirement, and prohibit someone convicted of a felony from voting until at least five years after they complete their sentence.
nothing has or is going to change, this is is truly a question of do you want more of the same? you know who is giving you more of their same release your bondage to right wing tyranny. 2014
