Look at the hypocrisy of Republicans in South Carolina?

Now we all know the GOP has been frantically changing voter laws to make it mandatory to show ID before voting in an attempt to stop 'alleged' voter fraud.

So why are the GOP candidates now blaming Obama for that GOP law?

"Recently, South Carolina Republicans have argued that the federal government is interfering in their plans for education, healthcare, labor law, immigration policy and VOTING."

How utterly dishonest can the GOP be?

    They have never supported the notion of one vote one man. However, they will lose this one too. Just like they did the civil war.

    Democrats are concerned because ACORN is no longer assisting with "voter registration" and will use any means possible to discredit those states who are trying to diminish voter fraud. The latest Census shows the black population in SC to be around 27% and, many of them are Evangelicals and Democrats.

    The attached link discusses South Carolina's law and the defense thereof - it also discusses the New Black Panther attempts at voter intimidation. States are trying to enact their own Voter ID Laws and having to fight the Obama administration to do it.

    States Rights must prevail.

    I think it's hilarious the GOP isn't requiring voters to show IDs for the primaries. Who knows how much fraud happened in Iowa?!

    I am not sure where that came from, link would be good.

    I do know the DOJ under Eric Holder is doing anything and everything he can to block all voter ID requirement, where ever it is at. It could be that is what the GOP is referring too.

    The GOP's ID law will back fire on them, the "Southern Strategy" will, according to AARP will alienate elderly voters who don't and can't get an ID to vote.

    "alleged voter fraud". Are you freaking joking? Of course there is rampant voter fraud primarily in the Democrat party! Do you really believe that all the illegal immigrants in the United States are going to vote for anyone other than the democrat party? Do you think they are going to bite the hand that gives them all the "free entitlements" and the label as "victims" in order to collect those entitlements?

    The democrat party is vital to Americans in two ways: Labeling people by their race, gender and sexual orientation and then convincing them they are "victims" in order to maintain their dependency and their vote.

    Sheesh - you libs sometimes amaze me thinking the rest of us are naive and ignorant.

    1) It's South Carolina, a state that has the friggin' "Stars and Bars" flying over its state capital, so what does that tell you about the people who run the state?

    2) It's the Republikkkan party. Shameless hypocrisy is second nature to those vermin.
