Russ Feingold, an ex-senator from Wisconsin, is a bitter man. He lost an election that should be embarrassing to anyone with his kind of name recognition. Have you noticed any time a democrat loses an election, they always blame the voters. Why would the country shun the “party of the people”? They must be white supremacists. Yeah, that has to be it.
Americans are not a racist people despite what the Russ Feingolds say about us. We don’t divide people into subsets with labels like Democrats do. We respect the rule of law, equality under the law and the value of citizenship. Democrats have demonstrated time after time that they do not. Here is an excerpt from Russ Feingold’s op-ed in the Guardian:
The lesson from Charlottesville is not how dangerous the neo-Nazis are. It is the unmasking of the Republican party leadership. In the wake of last weekend’s horror and tragedy, let us finally, finally rip off the veneer that Trump’s affinity for white supremacy is distinct from the Republican agenda of voter suppression, renewed mass incarceration and the expulsion of immigrants.
There is a direct link between Trump’s comments this week and those policies, so where is the outrage about the latter? Where are the Republican leaders denouncing voter suppression as racist, un-American and dangerous? Where are the Republican leaders who are willing to call out the wink (and the direct endorsement) from President Trump to the white supremacists and acknowledge their own party’s record and stance on issues important to people of color as the real problem for our country?
Since when is verifying the legitimacy of a voter un-American? This should be common sense. We have a serious problem with the integrity of our voter rolls. National Review published an article that is quite disturbing. Here is an excerpt:
The Election Integrity Project of Judicial Watch — a Washington-based legal-watchdog group — analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2011–2015 American Community Survey and last month’s statistics from the federal Election Assistance Commission. The latter included figures provided by 38 states. According to Judicial Watch, eleven states gave the EAC insufficient or questionable information. Pennsylvania’s legitimate numbers place it just below the over-registration threshold.
My tabulation of Judicial Watch’s state-by-state results yielded 462 counties where the registration rate exceeded 100 percent. There were 3,551,760 more people registered to vote than adult U.S. citizens who inhabit these counties.
“That’s enough over-registered voters to populate a ghost-state about the size of Connecticut,” Judicial Watch attorney Robert Popper told me.
Asking a voter to provide an ID is not suppression. What an absurd statement. Feingold’s assertion that we have mass expulsion of immigrants is grossly misleading. Illegal aliens do not have a right to be in this country. They are not supposed to be here. We have laws against that.
The reasons why Democrats lose elections have nothing to do with race. If anything, they’re losing elections because they are a lawless party.
