1. Amazing what the Republicans find "disgusting"

What I find disgusting is the Republican Party as it exists today.

[mindwalker_i]

4. ^^^ This ^^^

Republicans are so full of shit, I'm afraid it might cause a fusion reaction. Hey, maybe that's our future power source...

[yuiyoshida]

13. well stated..

perfection.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

29. + one zillion mega plusses. n/t

[Uncle Joe]

32. They're disgusted by democracy, because they're afraid of it.

I agree with your sentiments, Cyrano.

2. They really cannot help themselves always on the wrong side of history.

There was Teddy Roosevelt, a brief flirt with Eisenhower a constant downward spiral from that time. Shame is there needs to be two parties and people need choices.

[oldandhappy]

3. Yes! Vote!

The voter registration people have been out there almost from the beginning. Good for them. Voting is the answer (well, one of the answers, smile).

[ffr]

5. Yes, I can see how representation is disgusting.

Register, motivate, & GOTV!

[hifiguy]

6. Swine? Egg-sucking weasels?

There really is no analog in the animal kingdom to the modern Repuke party. Each animal, even the vultures that eat roadkill, performs some vital function in the cavalcade of life.

Nature has no need for pig-ignorant, scum-sucking asshole tools of the plutocracy/kakistocracy, and that is the only niche the Repukes fill.

7. Republicans worst nightmare: a black man with a ballot.

Of course he sticks it in one of their rigged voting machines.

[malthaussen]

8. "I find blacks registering to vote disgusting and inappropriate."

Hell, you don't even have to read between the lines on that one.

20. Willis must be related to this guy

[cyberswede]

9. Republicans are disgusting. nt

[MatthewStLouis]

10. The GOP response to get out the vote efforts makes me seethe!!!

People feel powerless. They feel like they are not in control and have no say in their local government. How do reasonable people try to fix that?

By making it easier to vote! Not by making it harder!



They disgust me.

Voting is actually a vital part of the "ownership society". One of their few decent ideas.

[DrBulldog]

11. Ferguson is getting the government they deserve ...

... because it was reported that less than 10% of the eligible black voters in Ferguson voted in the last elections.

Elections have consequences.

[L0oniX]

24. So if you don't vote you can be murdered by pigs and it's your fault. Nice. Enjoy your stay.

[DrBulldog]

31. Bingo!

You have been reading actual human history, haven't you? Good for you!

[Tommymac]

12. K & R

[drm604]

14. Registration and GOTV is exactly the correct response to government abuse.

How can any thoughtful and intellectually honest person believe otherwise?

This is how the system works. if the government screws up or is outright malignant, the public gets to vote them out. That's how the system works, GOP!

[Kali]

15. dog, they are just fucking stoopid

[Spitfire of ATJ]

16. This guy probably considers Missouri to BELONG to the GOP....

Doesn't matter that the people voted for Clinton TWICE.

[olegramps]

17. It just what can be expected from some racist Republican bastard.

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. If that isn't an ignorant response to trying to get young people involved in bringing change

to their community, then I don't know what is.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

19. Another reminder

Of the take over of the party of Abraham Lincoln by the Dixiecrats.

[Hugabear]

21. Black people voting is what the GOP really finds disgusting

They've tried just about everything they can to stop African-Americans from voting

[SummerSnow]

22. the real deal...

Ferguson Community leaders: Civic engagement is the ultimate ansewer. We're.We're trying to make young people understand that this is how to change things."

Matt Willis: if that is not fanning the political flames, I don't know what is. i think its not only disgusting but completely inappropriate.

Then he probably said to other GOP politicians and the police: " Tear gas these volunteers and pepper spray them. Nothing worse than black people voting, makes my skin crawl."

[jonjensen]

23. of course black voting is disgusting ... too republicans!

Liberals want to talk about health care protecting the environment child welfare ect. conservatives want to legislate voter suppression laws so those people can't vote. You see the difference in ferguson missouri. When democrats win congress they want to do good when republicans win congress they want to pass laws to stop people from voting and tell democrats what are you wimp liberals going to do about it except whine!

[santroy79]

25. Great Idea!!!!!

I love seeing this. The more people we can get to vote the better.


That is what is truly wrong with this country. Not enough people vote and we are stuck with the few that vote getting their way.

In off Presidential election years so few vote and we get stuck with all these Republicans in office while the country is Center left if not center way left.

[Cha]

26. Of course republiCons would be against Voting! They find it "Disgusting" brwawawaaaa

thanks for highlighting EarlG

[KeepItReal]

27. "Disgusting" is what today's GOP thinks of a functioning Democracy

eom

[glowing]

28. Yeah, ok tea party types who have screwed up our govt

with your backward types of politicians who only know how to say no... I know, Republicans are just upset that this murder of Mike Brown may actually call out to young people within African American communities to begin effecting the changes they wish to see within their communities from local levels to state wide levels; including Justice positions and ADA positions and police dept leaderships. It's way past time that they do take up their American Civic duties... Frankly, more young people do need to pay attention and vote and run for offices. Sitting on the side lines and watching the rigged game won't change that rigged game!

[NewJeffCT]

30. Maybe if they all armed themselves

and said they were registering people so they could join Clive Bundy and defend the second amendment?
