Voter ID Passes in the House - Brown Tip of the White Spear
Want to know why I have such a problem with the Grand Old Party? It's misplaced priorities and fear-mongering that has become their standard operating procedure.
As I have said previously, Governor Perry puts out a list of emergency items he wants dealt with, which one would assume would be budget-focused. Instead its nothing but a collection of far-right idealogy.
The latest salvo in this effort is the Voter ID Bill. My friend and former co-host Greg Freyermuth used to always ask a question when a policy discussion began...What problem are you fixing?
That's exactly my question with this Voter ID Bill. Even Republican elected officials acknowledge that it is NOT a problem in Texas and there have only been a handful of incidents of the this type of problem...in the ENTIRE state of Texas!
What is a major insult to Latinos is the fact that they USE the Latino National Republican Coalition and the dark faces in their membership as a prop to try to make this look different from what it really is...yet another attack on the poor and minorities.
Its the brown tip of the white spear.
Didn't any of the people in this picture wonder why they were put in the front row of this photo op? And since Dee Margo is now Latino, why didn't he get put in the front row? Look at the picture again, you know why? Because he's not dark enough to fit their purpose.
Great, from the back of the bus to the front of the photo-op.
You deserve the ridicule from your community you are about to get...
PS, my homie Sammy C wrote something the other day about a Republican event and decided to have a little fun with those of us in attendance that were Democrats. He said we stood out in the crowd because of how we were dressed. I know that was supposed to be funny, but I think it says a lot about the GOP if thats the case.
But the real reason we stood out wasn't because of our apparel, its because of our skin color. Good thing he was wearing an LNRC shirt to avoid confusion from people who might have thought he was a Democrat...
