Former FL GOP leader admits voter suppression

Deirdre Macnab, League of Women Voters of Florida, joins Thom Hartmann. Even though we already knew it - Republicans in Florida have admitted trying to suppress Democratic voters in the Sunshine State. What does this admission mean for voter suppression efforts nationwide - and will anything change for future elections?

Republicans need to change. I heard people around the world talking about the Rep. They said that the Republicans are hate mongers, racists, and cruel. Most Americans know that. The Republican Party needs to change its image.

It is obvious that the Republic-con Pary in America fears anyone who language skills exceed those of their hero Dubya Dumbificant I.

I am not saying it is a black or white thing either, but its just stupid to come on here making a vid about democrats votes being suppressed... when the democrat won. Its like they will say anything they can think of to get these retards to react in a desired way.

LOL... idiocracy is what we are getting very close to. That is one of my favorite comedy movies.

I'm not really saying it's a black or white thing. It's sociological. A black guy won, hahahahaha. I'd say a Walstreet white guy with a black father "won", nay, was appointed. Obama is Bush x10. I never could figure out how folk could even call him a Democrat. Voted right along with Bush. And you're right about the media scum. Goebbelsesque fuckers. I swear it looks more like Brave New World meets Fahrenheit 451, meets Idiocracy everyday.

not only that... THE BLACK GUY WON!

This is all nonsense... the election is a sham anyway, and this is meant to occupy the minds of anyone stupid enough to give a shit what these media scum have to say.

If white men were being kept from voting we'd never hear crap about it. At least women and minorities will raise a stink. Not that it matters anyway, a blind man can see the whole damn things a sham. I believe even if the gov't came right out and openly admitted it was all shit, no one would do a thing. Anyone who did dare, would be captured, no trial, no charge, and probably tortured. If not just outright murdered on the spot. The American dream can only be had when you're sleeping.

Once again... Thom is out to lunch. Voting is conducted on a county basis. In heavily democratic counties it is controlled exclusively by DEMOCRATS. These local officals did not purchase the machines or set up enough polling places for minorities to vote in. These were DEMOCRATIC decisions not the Evil republicans. Nice try... but facts again borne you out as a failure.

primary elections, electoral college and the elections ... all are just a farce, a very bad comedy with ugly actors and a captive and ignorant audience ...
