Mitt's Real Insult to the NAACP -- Pushing Voter Suppression

This is a good artlcle from Alternet. The pith: Reeps can ONLY win through voter suppression since the country is now just 54% white. See:

Romney’s disrespect confirms what we already know: He’s content to be the leader of a party that gets almost 90 percent of its support from white voters alone. They can only get away with it, in a country that’s only 64 percent non-Hispanic white (and dropping) by making it tougher for non-whites to vote. So that’s what they’re doing. And it’s against the backdrop of the GOP’s voter suppression movement that Romney’s cavalier treatment of the NAACP is particularly outrageous.

It’s no coincidence that a day earlier, also speaking to the NAACP, Attorney General Eric Holder called the GOP’s most egregious voter suppression laws “a poll tax,” invoking Jim Crow era maneuvers struck down by the Voting Rights Act. Romney didn’t even mention the issue in his speech, probably because he supports the GOP’s voter-suppression movement, remarking during the primaries, “I like voter ID laws, by the way … more of them.” So Romney actually had the gall to tell the nation’s oldest civil rights group, which has fought for a century to expand voting rights for African-Americans, that he’d be a better president for African-Americans than Obama, whose Justice Department, under Holder, is fighting the new wave of voter restrictions that are rightly compared to a poll tax.
