Smack-Down of the Day

Colin Powell today at a CEO Forum in Raleigh, North Carolina:

"I want to see policies that encourage every American to vote, not make it more difficult to vote.  It immediately turns off a voting block the Republican Party needs.  These kinds of actions do not build on the base. It just turns people away."

Weasel North Carolina Rethug Gov. Pat McCrory, who recently signed a voter suppression law that's being challenged in court, was in the audience for Powell's remarks.
