Today we hear what the speech was all about. Here's a snippet of the the meat of the speech. In a nutshell, it's all about those no good, low-down, minority hating, rich Republicans trying to suppress the vote by thinking that someone ought to have an ID to vote. I guess she wants to just open the polls and let anyone walk in the door and vote. I guess that is one way to do it.
You'll hear that she rails on and on in, might I say a very shrill and unattractive manner, about how folks on my side are just trying to suppress the vote of minorities because they will vote Democratic. How about maybe, just maybe, we think the citizenry should take some responsibility if they want to vote. The argument is that ID's cost too much for poor minorities so voter ID laws are really a poll tax. That's BS. All states offer free ID's. And if someone's schedule is so, so busy that they can't take the time to get one, then people without ID's can cast provisional votes. And they are given extra time to get the ID. But beyond that, what is wrong with wanting people to at least take to step to identify themselves if they are going to have the privilege of voting? I guess the next thing is that the airlines are discriminating against people because we have to produce an ID to get on an airplane.
It seems to me that the Democrats fundamentally are using this issue to divide us against each other. And that's a classic Obama tactic. I guess Hillary believes that's a winning strategy so she's embracing it. Nice.
