I think a better title for this thread is "The Negro Do Not Know What Is Good For Them, ****** Is Here To Help".
The entire purpose of a political campaign is to explain to potential voters that you are a better choice for them than your opponent. Democrats have been telling blacks what they think is best for them - often in ways that I would find immensely insulting if you directed them at me - for 60 years now. Given all this, I find it astounding that you are "shocked and outraged" when Republicans do the same thing.
I do not actually have a party preference on this issue, most white Americans are racist (this does not mean always violently or with hostility) so it does not astonish me that it is reflected in the different parties.
It just reflects in different ways, Democrats tend to be paternalistic and patronising, Republicans use the code law and order and voter suppression.
There is no voter suppression. It's a lie made up by the Democrats.
Yeah, during Jim Crow people said "the coloureds like the back of the bus and drinken from der own water fountains."
So WTF does that have to do with my reply? Since you are inept of understanding politics, allow me to explain this to you.......if you have a half-way open mind about this.
Voter-ID is a system that we have been using for years, except in voting. You need a photo ID for just about everything in this country: Purchase alcohol or tobacco products, get a home loan, obtain a passport, get a drivers license, cash a check, just to name a few.
So why are Democrats using race to fight Voter-ID? It's because they know a good number of their constituents are lazy. Sure, they will vote if it's convenient enough; short lines, several day voting instead of one day, mail in ballots, rides to the polls.......... But to put the least effort into voting like getting an ID, a good number will say to hell with it. I'll just stay home.
Republicans are a different animal. Voting is of extreme importance to us, and we would climb over a lot filled with ants hills, naked, covered in maple syrup to vote. We will do anything to make sure our vote is counted.
Since Democrats can't be honest with their constituents (and never have been) they needed to use a phony excuse, and that excuse is discrimination and voter suppression. So they decided to fall back on their Joker card--Race.
Of course they have no evidence to backup their claims, but when have they ever? They don't need evidence. All they need is their subdivision of the Democrat party called the Main Stream Media. As long as they promote their lie, it's as good as Gospel to their sheep. Nobody will even question it. Nobody on the left will have the common sense to ask how one requirement, that applies to all equally, is racially discriminatory or discriminatory to their particular voter group.
