Now that the GOP has stuck a sock in the mouth of the last warm blooded thinker in the party the reptiles can get back to their business of fleecing taxpayers.
Those hard-headed slimy bastards are going to start a civil war. I swear to God.

It is called voter suppression. It is a very refined "art" the Republicans are employing all over this country. Had a friend in Florida call yesterday. He went to get his drivers license renewed so he was sure he would be able to vote.
His unexpired drivers license was not good enough to renew. Apparently the laws to renew are changed everyday. He had to present two more picture ID's, Show his SS card or birth certificate, and have to letters from two financial institutions stating he actually lived at the address on his license. I actually googled this and came up with a slightly tamer version of this law, but it is in the interest of the Republicans in Florida to work a little slower updating state websites.
He is an affluent black man so he could come up with the required documents. He was also my room mate my Freshman year in college in the dorm and is a Republican. I think he is having second thoughts. Do you think a black man living in a poor neighbourhood can come up with the documents needed.
Here in the hick state of Arkansas I renewed my drivers license last week and it was four months out of date. No violations, no problem. I was practically assaulted to register to vote thanks to a bill passed by Clinton when he was governor. The motor voter law.
We should be encouraging voter registration not hindering it. The anti-American Republicans are doing everything they can to repress the vote of the Citizens of this country in Florida, Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and other Republican controlled states.
Least I remind you what the Conservative movement of the last 30 years wants, I give you the father of the Conservative movement Paul Wyrich.
