What is it with these stupid Republicans? They just have to find ways to either shoot themselves in the foot or stab us in the back.
That .00000000000001% in extra black votes is in the bag now!!!!
This isn’t the first time he’s joined the Rats on this.

GOP harakiri alert!
Those days are long over. The SCOTUS was (accidentally, it appears, on the basis of today's bizarre decisions) correct, and Republicans should let it die the quiet death it deserves.
You show me ANY Black person in this country who is
-18 or older
-Registered in their state and district
-Not a felon
who has EVER been denied their right to vote. Absolutely NO ONE involved in the elections process would deny a black person his right to vote. For one thing with Obama and Eric Holder in there you’d reap the whirlwind coming down on your head. For another this isn’t 1962.
Has Sensenbrenner taken leave of his senses?
That R next to his name means retard.
“trying to be the Rubio of the House.”
I thought that title was already taken by crybaby bonehead I mean boehner.
We don’t win any wars with these guys. I am through with Republicans...I don’t need this.
Go ahead an flame me... it wont change the fact we are led by absolute morons who leave their spines in the house or senate cloak room and then wuss out on votes.

Anything to investigate the 101% voter support in some precincts? Or 100% of the vote going to Obama in over 50 precincts?
Or is that not the kind of racist discrimination we are looking for in elections anymore?
As a member of the newest minority in America, white people deserve an answer.
Oh yes, by all means, you have to stop those Confederate States from reimposing Jim Crow laws and revitalizing the KKK. 150 years of punishment is not near enough./s
I have come to the conclusion that if anything good is to come out of Versailles on the Potomac, it’ll be right after Hell freezes over and the Toronto Maple Leafs win the Stanley Cup.
I suspect that this is a divide that goes beyond Republican and Democrat. As someone mentioned in jest, “The Voting Rights Act was the sequel to Reconstruction.”
In other words, this may actually be an effort by the northern states to retain political and cultural dominance over the southern states.
As bizarre as that sounds on the surface, there is still a large cultural divide between the North and the South.
The only reason Reconstruction ended was that there was a disputed presidential election, and the South offered its support to a candidate in exchange for the withdrawal of the last Union soldiers stationed in its state capitals.
Were it not for this, Reconstruction might still be in effect, long after race was an issue, solely so that the northern states could “keep the South in its place.”
If that sounds ridiculous, then why did the northern dominated congress keep extending the Voting Rights Act mandates on the South “even though the situation had changed”? That is, continuing to extend the act was based on conditions in the early 1960s.
But the proof of this pudding is in the eating. Constitutionally, congress *can* recreate the Voting Rights Act, but for *ALL* the states, not just the southern states.
Dollars to donuts these northern congressmen would be very strongly opposed to *that* idea. “Not us! Only THEM!”
Yes, Jim. There is still danger of discrimination at the polls. Democrats and their minions are allowed to vote as many times as they want, while Republicans and conservatives can vote only once.
Apparently Wisconsin has some election fraud problems so I’m sure sensenbrenner won’t mind having Wisconsin included in the legislation. Possibly he also wants to include Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey and New York. Wait let’s not forget Minnesota.
like; AMNESTY for 20+ million new democrats..
each of which could conceivably vote several times for more Obama money..
