C'mon. We all know about Nixon's Southern strategy and
how
Republicans
drew support from former Democrats by becoming the party
of
racism.

Yet George Wallace, former democratic governor of Georgia
running
as an independent was what...a civil rights advocate?
Lol...Get a clue.

I assume you're ignoring the last forty years of political
history
just
to be contrary.

Nixons pandering to whites is racism yet
Dems pandering to latinos and encouraging
voter fraud is progressive.

"You don't need papers to vote".

Turns out voter fraud is a Republican fraud.

"At a time when many states are instituting new requirements
for
voter
registration and identification, a preliminary report to the
U.S.
Election Assistance Commission has found little evidence of
the
type
of
polling-place fraud those measures seek to stop.

USA TODAY obtained the report from the commission four months
after
it
was delivered by two consultants hired to write it. The
commission
has
not distributed it publicly."

I heard an interesting thing the other day on Thom Hartmann.
It
was a
tape of a guy (I'll have to search for his name) who, as I
recall,
managed the Reagan campaign and advised both Bushes. He was
giving
a
speech and said, "We (Republicans) want to keep the voting
numbers
down.
It's a well-known fact that we do better in elections when
there
are
fewer voters." (paraphrase) Interesting.

Since the dems are socialists

lol Good one (but over used).

at heart this isn't interesting, its
obvious.

What does the above have to do with Democrats?

You think Republicans are strategizing to keep the vote down or are
they strategizing to defeat the democrats?

Evidently, both, based on the speech I heard.

One is a means to the other.

OF course. But don't you find holding down the vote a strange strategy?
Don't you find the admission that it's bad for the Repubs when more
people vote strange?

No stranger than stuffing ballot boxes or attempting to register
illegal aliens or slashing tires on get out the vote vans.

Such things have been done by both parties over the years (add to the
Repub side attempting to suppress minority voter turnout), but to have
such a highly placed person in a party say that the more people vote the
worse it is for our party is strange indeed.


Freaking out

lol

over someone saying they want to hold down the vote
is freaking out over semantics.

Yet another straw-man, as I'm not "freaking out".

Would it still be strange
if it was described as not motivating the undecideds and unlikely
to vote to get out and register and vote for the opposition?

That's not what he said, nor is it what he implied. Anyway, I happen to
think that the more people that vote in our system of self-government,
the better.
