Consequences of Rethug Voter Suppression

Harold Meyerson's piece in today's Kaplan Daily is worth a read. The voter suppression actions of Rethuglican governors in a number of states is an unprecedented assault on the right to vote, intended (to extrapolate from what the Rethug state house leader in Pennsylvania said) to insure the election of Willard "Corporations Are People, My Friend" Romney. Emboldened right-wingers and their plutocrat sugar daddies see this election as possibly the last opportunity to permanently change the rules of the game when it comes to who can vote in this country, to lock in their reactionary agenda. We know this causes the Rethugs absolutely no moral dilemma, since they adhere to the Randian philosophy that they are the rightful, enfranchised voters and those who don't share their view, or economic status, or ethnic, religious or racial profile, etc., should have their voting rights taken away or circumscribed to the greatest extent possible.
