The GOP at it's finest. Voter supression and racism. Say bye bye

I am so happy right now. Don Yelton has resigned his job as GOP chair in North Carolina. Yes, this hateful, racist asshole was interviewed on the Daily Show and showed his true colors. How he ever got in this position is way beyond me. This is exactly what the GOP/Tea Party represents in this country. You see it and hear about it all the time. I'm just glad that that the true GOP has shown their colors again. Last week it was a prominent judge moving from Republican to Democrat, and now this. Farewell Donny boy! We do not need your kind in politics. Take a few minutes and listen to this idiot. He was so proud of himself, and looked sooooo stupid..

The GOP is self destructing, again. I love it

I have watched with utter shock and dismay at what has happened to North Carolina over the past couple of years. I hope this resignation signals a reversal of the pernicious and insidious trend led by the Republicans in North Carolina and elsewhere.

The more these troglodytes expose themselves the better! Every embarrassing story on Colbert or TDS or in the NYT about NC Republicans is one more nail in their coffin. Hopefully Eric Holder's office took note! The idiot said it OUT LOUD--they are trying to suppress the vote!

Pissed off (and yet gleeful) in Hillsborough.

He very bluntly stated what the law is designed to do - and showed his racist colors in all their putrid glory. Good riddance!
