The comments after the article are a thing unto themselves.

Does the need for ID mean we have aircraft flight suppression ?

[RightGeek]

[Dr. Thorne]

It’s kind of fun listening to traitors choke on their own vomit.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Or alcohol, firearm, ammunition & cigarette purchase suppression? Or welfare eligibility suppression?

[tbpiper]

Scott Walker, the goggle-eyed homunculus hired by Koch Industries to manage their midwest subsidiary formerly known as the state of Wisconsin

He just adds layers of meaning to the term "sophomoric".

[ComputerGuy]

A perfect example of why we can't reach across the aisle to those clowns.
Great post.

[tbpiper]

a factor as was the reluctance of the Democratic party -- from the president on down -- to embrace the actual successes that the administration has achieved

Chuck doesn't understand that you can't hug smoke.

This thing is just rich with comment food.

Thom Tillis, who piloted North Carolina's incredibly stringent voter-suppression law through the state legislature

Huh? The law only comprised a reduction in early voting days (but the early voting went UP this year anyway), a requirement to vote in your own precinct, an end to same-day registration, and a voter ID starting in 2016.

Hardly "incredibly stringent."

when John Roberts gutted the Voting Rights Act

He may get another chance to gut Obamacare on the issue of subsidies in states that don't set up their own exchanges.

“We have our narrative and we’re sticking to it and I don’t understand why we lost oh yeah it’s because everybody else is stupid.” It will be interesting to read how this author does when he graduates grade school.

What the Republicans did was send their Tea Partiers to finishing school. Tom Cotton's already in the Senate, and Gardner may be on his way. These are not people who are going to Washington to play nice.

Let's hope they won't play nice. Playing nice got us 18 trillion dollars in debt. Send them lots of bottled water so they don't get infected with Potomac fever.

Until I read the comments, I hadn’t realized how much I missed the hysteria of the girls from Junior High School. It’s as entertaining today as it was then.

They will Not choke.
Proverbs 26:11

[txhurl]

I don’t think I’ve ever been understood by a RAT before, until I read this. BTTT

Watching a RAT read the writing on the wall while ferociously, intentionally refusing to understand that writing, priceless.

[gr8eman]

It really is...what a bee eye itch!

[TangoLimaSierra]

voter-suppression"

To this dumbass, suppression is stopping a bus full of illegals being taken around to multiple voting places.

[DPMD]

Is this the same Charles Pierce who used to impersonate Streisand, Garland, Channing, and all the other icons of the gays?

[Andy'smom]

This guy used to write for the Boston Globe. I think they parted on unfriendly terms.

I think that one’s dead:
