Republicans and the Suppression of the Minority Vote!

[PoliticalTorch]

Rand Paul evidently doesn't want to be reminded of all the gerrymandering that has been going on to do just that! Texas, for one, is infamous in that regard. And his derogatory use of the term "brown", in particular, is akin to using the term "REDskins" that is now so unpopular and on its way out. He needs to be called on the carpet for that. He should have said 'Hispanics' or 'Latinos.' Saying "brown" is no way to warm up to and make friends with that ethnicity as much as his political party needs them! If talking about their race, he should know it's White. And just look at what the Brennan Center had to say about *what political party*, in general, introduced the most bills to try to curb voting. In conclusion, there is little reason to none for minorities to vote Republican!

I'm sure minorities appreciate white liberals telling them how to vote.

I'm sure minorities appreciate white liberals telling them how to vote.

It's a foregone conclusion that they know full well who their true enemies are and it's not the Liberals! Reinforcing and reminding them about what they already know about Republicans and their dislike for them can only fire them up more to vote Against them.

YEs be apart of the far left political protected class or you will be ousted and not get on the government dole.

If only we could suppress far left wing idiocy. Not possible in a free society I know but a nice dream though and FYI Democrats gerrymander as well sorry to bring a fact into the idiocy I know how annoying that is to some.

Rawstory? They always have a flaming headline or a bizarre twist to a story. If you read your own link Rand points out that he has tried to restore voting rights for non violent felons.

Another Rawstory bullshit story. Even trying to link his word "tarred" to white supremacists like its the only time "tarred and feathered" has ever been used. And consequently because Rand used "tarred" OMG he must be a Grand Wizard.

What assholes they are over there.

 

[hadit]

Thank goodness Republicans aren't trying to suppress anyone's vote.

No we actually love white republicans ignoring suppression of the minority votes and they also love the fact that you completely ignore minority participation in the movement.

Good stuff.

Yes you will be ousted and become another republican on the govt dole.

Aww CC, now all the republicans have to type "thats a lie" and hope that no one notices they cant elaborate further on it a-boo a-hoo

Minorities don't need to be told how to vote. All they need do is look at what red states are doing to the voting rules.
Which brings to mind the following question: Why would anyone living in a democracy stay a member of a party that is trying to take the vote away from minorities? Seems un-American to me but then again, we are speaking of the current republican party.

Yes, leave the liberals and join the conservatives where you can watch your tax dollars enrich the 1%'ers and you can work two minimum wage jobs (provided you can find them) to try to make ends meet. How could any minority turn down such a deal?

If Republicans have been trying to suppress the brown vote then they are failing miserably, as minority participation in voting has skyrocketed over the last 5 years.
The only thing more failed than GOP efforts to suppress the vote is this thread.

Actually states that required voter ID saw minority participation climb more than states that didnt.
As usual you are ill informed and downright dumb, ROn. That might explain why the best job you can get is fry chef.

Ok we have a bullshit thread title. AND a bullshit story spun by rawstory.

So all you left wing loons have missed this part of the article. You people really are lunatic fringe assholes.



He wants voting rights for non violent felons so Rand Paul is a bad guy trying to suppress minority votes.



The Kentucky Republican explained that his advocacy of voting rights for felons was “opening the door” for him to talk to minority communities.

“Three out of four people in prison are black or brown for non-violent drug use,” he pointed out. “The war on drugs has had a racial outcome unintentionally, but it has a racial outcome. And I want to try to fix it.”

Bull. You run the schools in your plantation ghettos in your democrat city and spew propaganda at the ignorant pawns.

Are you trying to say that voter ID in the US would suppress minority votes? Because in many third world countries Voter ID is required and they vote just fine.

Like South Africa and Honduras.

Surely you're not trying to say that American minorities aren't as capable as third world citizens are you?

Yet, 48 hours after the Supreme Court gutted the voting rights act six red states passed voting laws that had been denied by the courts previously.

Six States Already Moving Forward With Voting Restrictions After Supreme Court Decision

Less than 48 hours after the Supreme Court struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, six of the nine states that had been covered in their entirety under the law’s “preclearance” formula have already taken steps toward restricting voting.
Say, here is a question rabbi: Do you think trying to stop people from voting is the way Americans should behave?
