The Mask Slips Again

...and Republicans accidentally tell the truth about their legislation.  Today's contestant:  Pennsylvania state GOP Rep. Daryl Metcalfe on the state's voter ID law, the law recently sent back down to the minors for review and a possible injunction.  Metcalfe gets caught talking on a radio show about the real aim of the law, to prevent Democrats from voting.

HOST: Are you absolutely convinced…that the methods to implement this law are effective and will in fact make sure no legitimate voter will be disenfranchised?

METCALFE: I don’t believe any legitimate voter that actually wants to exercise that right and takes on the according responsiblity that goes with that right to secure their photo ID will be disenfranchised. As Mitt Romney said, 47% of the people that are living off the public dole, living off their neighbors’ hard work, and we have a lot of people out there that are too lazy to get up and get out there and get the ID they need. If individuals are too lazy, the state can’t fix that.

Yeah, sure.  And poll taxes in the Jim Crow south proved how lazy and stupid black people were when they didn't have the money to pay for the privilege of voting.  The ID is free.  The documents you need in order to get the free state ID, well gosh, those cost money and time to obtain.  Too bad for them, right?

Why should the 47% be allowed to vote, anyway?  They vote Democratic, after all.  We can't have that.  If you say "Hey, I don't know if I'm going to vote" the Republicans in power will make that decision for you.
