Why are these governors not afraid of losing their seats or posts because of their clearly obvious tactics and antics in suppressing the vote. Their names are all over the media outlets---okay excluding FOX. But even the voters---be them Black or White (Republican or Democrat/ Young or Old) are experiencing the same thing at early voting.
Does he think Republicans winning nationally means that he will maintain his seat locally? Isn't he afraid of losing his post?! These guys are like kamikaze pilots. I will take a hit to maintain America's downfall. I would think these people would fear their own posts, but they don't.
I have to say even with the call of voter suppression. Pundits on tv make it seem as though only the Black or Hispanic vote is being hit hard. What if you're a white person at these places. And I sincerely doubt that Rick Scott was successful in lessening the vote in Black neighborhoods over white neighborhoods. Not to mention There are White people (some of whom are Republican) who live in Black neighborhoods. I just don't see this working out to the benefit of Republicans politically and even less for Rick Scott's Gubernatorial future.
Just sayin'.
For the Freeper lurkers out there...don't you think you're GOP politicians are a bit short sighted, since what they do hurts either you or someone you know as well?! But then maybe not...since you're complacent partners in this game. It's not about our America for you----it's all about YOUR America. These teabagger freaks ALWAYS seem to say "I want MY America back..." They never see it as a shared land.

(2,514 posts)that's the reason the agenda was rushed through... this is a rearguard action by a white minority that knows it's about about to become demographically irrelevant

(7,011 posts)Until someone gives them a swift kick in the choppers, they will carry on with their shenanigans. Rick Scott is a sociopath. Why the hell would he give a damn? It's gonna take the pussies who sat out and let that creep in to get off their pampered asses and stand in a six-hour line to vote that fucker out.
