Sanders: Arizonans waiting 5 hours to vote is 'a disgrace'

10. Remember The Purple Revolution......

It would be incredible if in the United States we would all take voting as seriously as they do in countries where a purple thumb or finger is a badge of honor.

The term first appeared shortly after the January 2005 election in various weblogs and editorials of individuals supportive of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. The term received its widest usage during a visit by U.S. President George W. Bush on February 24, 2005 to Bratislava, Slovak Republic for a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Bush stated: "In recent times, we have witnessed landmark events in the history of liberty: A Rose Revolution in Georgia, an Orange Revolution in Ukraine, and now, a Purple Revolution in Iraq."

As I recall - the Repugs and conservative radio was abuzz with this 'purple finger' vote - that it was because of BushCo that the Iraqi's had this great opportunity to vote because Bush took out Saddam Hussein's government.

Fast forward to today - the Repugs do every thing in their power to deny American's the right to vote.

What happened last night in Arizona illustrates this perfectly. If something isn't done about this before the November General Election - we might very well looking at a Repug president to replace President Obama.
