An insidious truth

These days it amazes me that the President still has positive approval ratings and is beating the Republican candidates in the polls.  I expect this to remain the same, or even improve right up to the 1012 election. 

So, you ask, how can the Republicans have any chance of winning back the White House?  The answer for them is to keep as many of Obama’s base supporters as possible  from voting at all.  This process is well underway as evidenced by new laws passed by Republican State Legislatures requiring voter identification cards at the polls, limiting the time of early voting, ending same-day registration and making it difficult for groups to register new voters.

They’re getting away with it too!  Read this article for a scary look at this whole sordid subject.

Nice try Tom. The Real Clear Politics average approval is around 47%. The last poll I saw of Obama running against any Republican, he loses. He is earning those low approval ratings.

Tom,

Woe are liberals! John Lennon was a closet Republican who secretly admired Reagan and disdained Jimma Carter, according to a close associate. I suspect he would loathe Obama. I guess that necessarily makes Lennon a racist, lying knuckle dragging jerk in liberal eyes.
