From a Freeper: advocating more voter suppression

I was browsing through the Freeper List. It's like a big hangover over there. LOL.

But this message caught my eye:

To: KeyLargo
Time to turn back the clock when it comes to voting rights.

Yes, I’m perfectly serious.

The smarter Republicans can do the math. The U.S. population is changing. Four years from now it will be even more diverse than it is now. The Republicans' only hope on the national level is to either change their strategy to appeal more to Latinos, women, and young people, or suppress those votes. Which do we think they'll choose?

I was waiting for this conversation to come up. It's taking shape right now in the conversations that I am seeing--just on FB.
