New gop national chair is voter obstruction operative

[Viking12]

The Republican National Committee selected a new leader on Friday, with its choice, Reince Priebus of Wisconsin, the NYT reports.
So who is Reince Priebus? Priebus is a partisan, voter obstruction operative from Wisconsin who lost his bids to roll back Wisconsin’s historically progressive tradition to open and fair elections.

1. It doesn't get worse than this. Everyone looks the other way as the GOP steals elections...

2. Hope this goes viral

Perhaps send it to Keith O. This is the kind of thing he'd like to know.

3. Suppressing the "wrong kind" of voters:

Priebus is known in Wisconsin political-journalistic circles for his dedicated (and so far unsuccessful) efforts to obstruct Wisconsin voters, suppressing the wrong kind of voters—black, old, and disabled. The Priebus-led voter obstruction programs are consonant with national GOP efforts to obstruct Democratically leaning voters.

...

After the GOP retook the Wisconsin legislature in 2010, one of the Party’s first bills introduced in 2011 is a photo ID bill that would “mean folks without driver’s licenses – disproportionately poor, minority, or elderly, would not be able to vote.” (Neil Heinen, WISC TV)

Reince Priebus must be proud.

4. No matter how loathsome

an individual is, once he or she gets any kind of official standing, the media treat him with respect and kid gloves.
See; Sarah Palin

9. I think this will get some media play--I'll be happy to say I saw it at DU before it does.

This is important info--Arizona's racist laws are driven by voter suppression and obstruction.

Kudos. :thumbsup:
