GOP Hypocrite of the Week:
The Republican National Politburo (AKA, RNC)
A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL
...
Well, you would think a party that tosses around words like liberty and freedom with calculated abandonment, a party whose "leader" keeps talking about God giving democracy to the world and sending our soldiers to die for it -- well, you would think that this political party would champion democracy in the homeland.
But you're wrong. Boy, are you wrong.
The Republican National Politburo (officially called the RNC) has been masterminding a Machiavellian effort to suppress Democratic votes around America. From coast to coast, they have used every trick in the book -- legal and illegal -- to keep Democrats from exercising their right to vote in a democracy.
Most recently the inimitable Paul Krugman detailed just some of the Republican Party effort to rig the election through orchestrated voter suppression of non-Republicans, beginning with bollixing up the voter registration process for Democrats. The Republicans and their surrogates are throwing Democratic voter registration forms in garbage cans in Oregon, denying Democratic registration forms in Milwaukee, and falsifying college registration forms in South Dakota. And that's just for starters, Ohio and Florida Republican officials have multi-pronged efforts underway to deny Democratic voters a ballot, while goosing up Republican registration. Understand that this is happening in virtually every battleground state.
...
That's some hypocrisy. America gets a one-party state through illegal shenanigans while we allegedly export democracy. It's a tragic farce -- and the American dream is its victim.
