Republicans and their Obstacles to Justice

Republicans and their voter suppression laws and voter id's suggest to me that they want to revert back to an earlier, uglier period in American history. Back to a past where black people were expected to guess correctly the number of jellybeans in a jar before being allowed to vote. We all know what happened there? Frankly, these inspired by greed and evil machinations to block the vote for some of us, still, are frightening to me. Why would any sane individual willingly want to go back to those days? Who still, in America, wants to have this kind of control over another? Who would still spew these exhortations to the populace? Who, indeed? The longer this 2012 campaign ensued, the closer we neared the risk of having an uncaring administration in charge of this wonderfully brave and beautiful ideal of a country. A group of people who had already clearly expressed their giving "less than a tinker's damn" about the average American. The middle class would surely be headed toward annihilation. Now after the republic has spoken, the GOP still wants to ignore our wishes and needs. It is continuing business as usual. What a shame for our country as the world watches while this supposed democracy begins to splinter because a certain group of wealthy men refuse to compromise. Too bad all the young people who are encouraged to engage in reasonable conversations with one another instead of fighting, are bearing witness to the shenanigans of our illustrious congressional members. Too bad we still bother stressing the importance of conflict resolution to our young, when a lot of the supposedly mature leaders of our country are acting like recalcitrant children. maverickchild 11/29/12
