Scott Brown ‘Outraged’ That Citizens Who Don’t Even Own Property Registering To Vote
by Doktor Zoom

Sen. Scott Brown is soo mad, you guys! He apparently just found out about this little-known secret plot to destroy him by adding a lot of undesirable poors to the voter rolls! The culprit is the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, aka the “Motor Voter Law,” which since 1995 has required state governments to offer people the opportunity to register to vote when they access government services, like getting a driver’s license or — and here’s the UNFAIR! thing — applying for welfare benefits. This aggression, says the furry-chested former Cosmo sexyboy, will not stand, man.

You see, a number of groups have been suing states to ensure that the law was actually followed. One of those suits was pursued in Massachusetts — a woman complained that she wasn’t offered the chance to register to vote when she applied for assistance, and rather than fight the case, the Commonwealth settled, saying Oh, yeah, right, that federal law thing. As part of the settlement, Massachusetts agreed to offer voter registration, by mail, to the 477,944 people who had not been given the chance to register when they applied for various benefits, as they should have been.

<..> To be perfectly clear, this is a sitting US Senator complaining about people having access to the vote, in compliance with the nation’s election laws. But… but… they receive welfare! That must make their votes illegal somehow! (You will be astonished to learn that the press release also mentions ACORN! You did not see that coming, did you?)

It looks really bad to see an elected person who comes out against people being able to vote. The GOP is full of them, and it has got to be stopped.

First they came after the poor voters, but I was not poor so I did nothing.


I know, I know a Nazi reference but sometimes it just screams out at you.

Many people will shrug off this kind of attack because it doesn't affect them not realizing that sooner or later it could or will come around to them. Voting is a right and we should all be defending it for every citizen no matter their standing in society or their political persuasion.

Women shrugged off the attack by the Repug until 2010. Make no mistake if any of us are not white males that believe in their radical Ayn Raynd sick beliefs and reichwing beliefs we are all targets.

This Ryan pick and this election is critical if President Obama is reelected and we deliver the House and the Senate to them......it will be time to outlaw Citizens United and work to remove those SCOTUS that allowed Citizens United.

You're right pappy. People are putting their heads in the sand over the voter suppression and it will hurt every one of us. Even the perps doing it, because as you said they are doing nothing to preserve the rights of the American people.

I think this is why Issa held the contempt vote against Holder......Holder is after the perps who are bringing Jim Crow back to life. They hate him.

Well people who don't even own cars shouldn't be able to vote.
