A nation of cowards

Well, given that the author is a known partisan hack, the likely answer is "It helps Republicans look good and Democrats look bad." If that isn't a self-evidently positive objective, then I'm not sure what this article does for us.

This is your standard answer. "He is a republican..." would be all you need to say. It disqualifies anything further he has to say.

He does have an axe to grind given his treatment by the democrats in pushing him out of job at the justice department due to some of his decisions. Does that make him a hack? No. Does it make him biased against the clique that wronged him? Probably. He stands for voting integrity. His position is that we should use things like DL photo ID to strengthen confirmation in voter registration, while his enemies (Kennedy, Fienstein, Pelosi) would like to weaken the controls on voter fraud.
