Shame on the GOP….

Republican-controlled state legislatures continue to find more and more ways to restrict voter registration and actual voting—it’s an all-too-transparent attempt to prevent or minimize voting by minorities, the poor and disadvantaged folks who might be expected to favor Democratic candidates.

I think the Democrats are missing an important opportunity to tell this story over and over again, and to challenge minorities, the poor and disadvantaged folks to actually exercise their right to vote for the candidates of their choice.

I admit I am profoundly dismayed at the historic and current indifference of many folks, who are being skewered by bad politics and screwed by politicians who represent them in Congress. Why aren’t more of these folks going to the polls?

I’m afraid I know at least part of the answer: they’re discouraged, and they don’t understand or don’t care about the consequences of their indifference.

Shame on the Democrats for failing to educate them, and failing to tell the bald truth.
