Republican Politician Says Disabled Veterans and Retired Seniors Don’t Deserve to Vote

[McCamy Taylor]

"As Mitt Romney said, 47% of the people that are living off the public dole, living off their neighbors’ hard work, and we have a lot of people out there that are too lazy to get up and get out there and get the ID they need. If individuals are too lazy, the state can’t fix that"

Who is going to be disenfranchised by Pennsylvania’s Voter ID law? Anyone who does not drive. Your elderly mother, who showed good judgment in giving up her drivers license when her vision went bad no longer deserves to vote, according to State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe. And your brother who was blinded in Iraq has no business trying to vote, according to the Republican politician. What’s that you say? Your brother gave his sight to keep Americans like Metcalfe safe? Too f***ing bad. He is a parasite now, living on the government dole. A true American does not come home disabled. He dies on the battlefield. What’s that you say? Your mother taught kids in Pennsylvania schools for forty years? She educated the doctors, engineers and businessmen who now keep the economy strong? Too f***ing bad! She is a parasite now, living on the government dole. Good Americans do not retire. When their working days are over, the go find an ice floe and climb aboard.

1. The Repubs have shown their cards. Now it's up to Americans to believe them when they say

get lost, ingrate. You don't deserve benefits from the US.

2. Facsists have the same beliefs.

3. It's just hell living in PA right now.

Our hideous Gov. Corbutt is killing our Commonwealth. He has allowed fracking everywhere, cuts in public and higher education, and the Voter ID b.s., just to mention a few of the little goodies he has bestowed upon us. Hideous.
