Unfiltered Patriot » Clinton’s Absurd Attacks on Voter ID
The Democratic Party has apparently decided that the “war on women” trope was so successful, they might as well declare the Republican Party guilty of a “war on blacks” while they’re at it. And the presidential frontrunner, Hillary Clinton, is all too aware that she needs to get African-American voters behind her if she’s going to win in the general election. While she’s virtually guaranteed to win the majority of the black vote like every other Democrat, the question is whether or not she can energize them like Obama.To that end, she’s made the absurd issue of voting rights a central focus of her campaign. To the Democrats, this issue is a holdover from the early civil rights movement. Or, to hear Clinton tell it, a “blast from the Jim Crow past.”That’s how she described it on Saturday in a speech from Hoover, Alabama. Speaking to the Alabama Democratic Conference’s Convention, Clinton slammed a recent state decision to close 31 driver’s license offices due to budgetary concerns. According to her, these closures will make it more difficult for people of color to vote.“We have to defend the most fundamental right in our democracy, the right to vote,” Clinton said. “No one in this state, no one, should ever forget the history that enabled generations of people left out and left behind to finally be able to vote.”Sigh.
