"I wouldn't mind making it harder to vote," ... "It should not be easy."

"I wouldn't mind making it harder to vote," said Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton. "It should not be easy."

The real frauds are backers of bad election bill

"I think it`s great," Jeb proclaimed on national television back in 2004. "It's another reform we added that, you know, has helped provide access to the polls and provide a convenience. And we`re going to have a high voter turnout here, and I think that's wonderful."

And so early voting thrived — until last week anyway, when modern-day Republicans decided they'd had quite enough.

The problem, you see, was that early voting tended to favor Democrats — often working people who wanted to vote on a weekend. Also because of the simple fact that Florida has more Democrats than Republicans.

...

"No one could give me an example of all this fraud they speak about," said Sen. Mike Fasano, one of only two Republicans who voted against this sham bill.

Then they claimed voting was .. wait for it … too easy. "I wouldn't mind making it harder to vote," said Sen. Mike Bennett, R-Bradenton. "It should not be easy."

1. I wouldn't mind seeing rethugs take a civics and IQ test before they vote

2. "I wouldn't mind making it much harder to register to run for office

maybe if it was hard most Republicans wouldn't bother." Drale said that just now, and I completely agree with him.

3. Wow, I couldn't agree more.

The GOP won't get many votes without the whack jobs pulling that straight ticket lever.

4. That democracy/accountability thing is a problem for Republicans.

They only want to be accountable to people who think like themselves and vote for them. When that's a minority opinion, that's a problem. Solution? Make it harder to get rid of them.

5. How about a spelling test?
