These people are unhinged.

As Pennsylvania’s strict voter ID law returns to the lower court for reconsideration, its original sponsor, Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R-PA), told KDKA Radio Wednesday morning that his law will only disenfranchise “lazy” people, like the ones Mitt Romney was talking about in the leaked video of a private fundraiser.

...

    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.

Yesterday on CNN Mary Matalin said of the 47 v 53 divide:
"There are makers and takers, there are producers and there are parasites"

The conservative movement looks less like the Board Room and more like the Turner Diaries day by day.

Sadly it looks more and more like people are switching out the Holy Bible for the rather un-holy Atlas Shrugged.

Shouldn't the GOP be firmly against mandatory photo ID?

One way to destroy democracy is to manipulate the electorate until it is sure to vote as expected.  That's how the Apartheid regime of South Africa did it. Eventually the competition finds itself irrelevant and vanishes, and electoral politics becomes a sham.
