This Modern World: Officer Friendly

The GOP War on Voting | Politics News | Rolling Stone
Republicans hate democracy. And they know that the more they coddle secessionists and racists, the more they are going to lose elections.
Plan? Rig the voting districts and then strip the right to vote from minorities and college students, among others.
The worst part? It is working. Here is an interactive map showing where these anti-American twits are stealing the vote.
Look, if you can not make a factual argument and win in this country, the problem may actually be YOU and not the electorate.
Dartmouth aims to control debate crowd
LOL.
You can’t make this up. Instead of having organizers – and candidates – try to confront the ugly crowds that go to GOP debates, they are doing what they can to cherry-pick, limit the size and makeup of said crowd.
You know, like setting up a “free speech zone” two blocks away from anywhere Bush the Lesser was standing so he wouldn’t have to hear about how he was screwing over and killing Americans for no good reason.
So, instead of actually being adult and asking their supporters to be adults as well, the GOP has once again chickened out and taken the non-democratic, censorship route.
There’s a lesson there. A lot of them actually.

The things about all these kinds of episodes prove a couple things.
1. These guys refuse to comment on-stage about the reprehensible behavior of their supporters. Truly, if you are silent, you are endorsing these various forms of hatred.
2. If these audiences do not reflect the traditional GOP voter, why is it always the same blood thirsty bigots around the country that goes to these things?
3. Also, once again, if these are NOT the standard Republicans, stand up to them. If you don’t need them to win, call ’em out. If you DO, then what do these cretins running to lead this nation truly stand for?
