96. "par for the course"
Thats what I have been screaming from the top of the CN tower here in Toronto since 2000.


Black votes never count...No biggie.

While I agree that the law is on our side as it is written, I am dubious about how these current Justices will interpret the law.

If we can learn anything from the situation in the Ukraine it is this...

Unless we take to the streets (peacefully) and make ourselves heard, The courts are just going to push us around the way they did in 2000.

If we sue our way to the top we run the risk of giving racist opponents the activist judge angle to sway the moderate bush supporter into thinking this is just a Dem sore loser tactic.

We need a grass roots shame campaign.

We need to expose the old fashioned ways the GOP block people from voting. We need new Memes


I'm Pretty Sure My Vote Counted, But I Am White

Our Leader....Thanks to Good Fashioned Racism

No Wonder GWB Avoided the NAACP

No Wonder Black people Are so Pissed Off.

Old fashioned American Values Included Lynchings.


The legal Backbone of our arguments need to be rock solid but I think we need serious PR discussions.

Bush chose poor, and minority votes because he knew they have no voice.

The Ultra Rich vote as solidly Republican as the ultra poor vote Democrat. Imagine if the roles were reversed and we were able to stop the rich from voting.

The republicans would never win.


Thats what this is about. We will never win if we keep letting our most solid supporters get disenfranchised.

Check This.....

CNN BREAKING NEWS.....

Wolf Blitzer : This just in CNN is reporting that Fox News, and MSNBC are reporting a Yuppie protest happening right now In Jackson Hole Wyoming. Lets go to Susan Malveaux Reporting live from a poling station inside the Jackson Hole Ski Lodge Where a Score of people seem to have just about had enough of the games being played by the Demcrats....Susan....

Susan Malveaux : Yes thanks Wolf, thats right. I don't know if you can see this through all the cameras and commotion, but there is indeed a crowd that is becoming increasingly vocal about expressing their displeasure at Democrat tactics designed to as they claim to " Steal the white house". ..Wolf..

WB : Susan by the looks of things behind you this isn't an isolated incident have you heard of other incidents like this elsewhere in the country, and what exactly are the tactics the Democrats are using that have these people so incensed?

SM : Well wolf, to answer your first question, I've spoken with almost all of these demonstrators and most have been on the phone with members of the media all day and they say many other reporters have admitted seeing similar activities employed by democrats at various polling places.

WB : Great Susan, but what are some of these Democrat tactics been protested?

SM : Yes sorry Wolf its becoming noisy in here, maybe you can here the chants of "Go Bush Go"and " U.S.A..U.S.A.".... But as far as tactics go Wolf, I think the biggest concern is the out of state Mexican Americas the Democrats have dispatched here to Wyoming for the sole purpose of challenging long time residents right to vote.

WB : Wow Susan, thats unbelievable even for the democrats....

SM : That's not all Wolf.....The protester also claim to have had to wait for up to 45 minutes to vote citing only 6 voting machines in a precinct that has had up to 10 in previous elections. To add to the nightmare faced by resident here, two of the six machines stopped working at around 9:30 this morning. Calls made to the Democratic Election Commissioner pleading for back up machines were Ignored. ...

WB : Those are some pretty serious charges Susan what if anything is being done about it?

SM : Well Wolf, Plenty! The FBI arrived shorty after 10am saying they had received "Several" tips, and have so far removed the Mexican American poll watchers and impounded the malfunctioning machines looking for any evidence of Democratic tampering. Although things seemed to have been settled when the Governor personally delivered 5 brand new voting machines to replace the missing boxes, one can never be certain the the Democrats will stop trying to block votes here or elsewhere, the protesters say, so they remain vigilent....Wolf

WB : Susan Malveaux in Jackson Hole Wyoming covering a fight about what is essentially Democracy itself...Thank you Susan we'll check back with you soon.
