Disenfranchisement of black voters is the last card left in Bush's |
|
hands as he heads for the polls with the certainty of defeat facing him.But then that has been the theme of the Republican Party for more than fifty years, so we should be on guard and defeat them at each and every precinct when we come face to face with this tactic.

From the Top 10 Conservative Idiots, April 29th, 2002:
"Way, way back in Idiots 7 we noted that Mr. Rush Limbaugh had been making some interesting comments about the 2000 election results, to wit: 'If you take away the black vote, Bush won by a landslide.' Pretty dumb, even for a fat bag of wind such as Limbaugh. But apparently this nonsense crept into the mainstream last week when CNN's Bill 'The Shill' Schneider did a special puff piece to bolster Bush's pseudo-legitimacy. You see, as Schneider explained (with fancy graphics), if you don't count black people's votes, Bush would have won by 187 electoral college votes! Fancy that! And not only that, but if you take away the black vote in the 2000 Senate races, the Dems would win only 37 seats instead of 50, or, as Schneider himself put it, 'a hopeless minority.' Apparently Schneider is of the opinion that the white vote is the only vote that matters. Too bad for him we have a little document called the U.S. Constitution which requires candidates to win a majority of votes cast by all voters, regardless of race. So, when is Schneider going to do a piece on the size of Gore's landslide if you take away the votes of drunk banjo-playing inbreds? Just wondering..."
Republicans have had an agenda to take away Black voting rights for quite some time.
