Use the RACE Card!!!

Don't call what the Republicans did "disenfranchisement". Call it what it is "Racism".

If you truly want to get the MSM's attention, play the RACE Card.
The Republicans did and now they should pay for it!!!


Think about it:
When it comes to voting rights, there's little difference between the behavior of the "separate and unequal bigotry" of the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's; versus the behavior of the Republican party in Ohio and Florida in 2004.

At least in the 1940's, 50's & 60's, blatant attempts to keep "so called" minorities from voting was limited to the deep South. Under the Bush administration and the current Republican leadership, the bigotry of the old South has been spread throughout America.


If Bush has been successful in nothing else, he's been successful in turning back the hands of time in American history. What's next, the return of Jim Crow???

I disagree. The college kids who stood in line at Kenyon College for 10 hours weren't all minorities. The machines that may have vote flipping code can't tell if a voter is black, white or green. While I do think minority voters who customarily vote Democratic were targeted, they weren't the only ones. It was the Republican mission to stop everyone from voting for the Democrats and that alone should be getting media attention.

No argument that the overall goal of Republicans was to surpress the Democratic vote. But, special emphasis was placed on denying minority voters the right to vote in Democratic counties. Furthermore, if the MSM won't pay attention to the "general issue" of election fraud, the "Race Card" should get their attention. Once we've gotten their attention, we can shine the light on all of the fraud that took place on Nov 2nd.

In all honesty, I don't think MSM is all that interested in racism and that probably wouldn't get their attention. What you need to do is get one of the following topics inserted into the Ohio election controversy: Scott Peterson, Janet's "wardrobe malfunction," Scott Peterson, the "Desperate Housewives" - any or all, Scott Peterson, steroid use among athletes, Scott Peterson, Bernie Kerik's 3 wives and 2 mistresses . . . so far, or Scott Peterson. lol.gif
