Reply #9: And purging black Democratic voters from the rolls

[tblue]

During Reconstruction, was charging black voters a poll tax and forcing them to take a literacy test "genius"? Hell no! And what R*ve & Co did in Florida and Ohio wasn't "genius" either. It was criminal.

If Repugnicans could genuinely win on their merits, and if their policies and "values" are really so popular, why do they have to lie about everything they do?


Here are some famous last words from R*ve's mentor, Lee Atw*ter, on his deathbed:
"My illness helped me to see that what was missing in society is what was missing in me: a little heart, a lot of brotherhood. The '80s were about acquiring -- acquiring wealth, power, prestige. I know. I acquired more wealth, power, and prestige than most. But you can acquire all you want and still feel empty. What power wouldn't I trade for a little more time with my family? What price wouldn't I pay for an evening with friends? It took a deadly illness to put me eye to eye with that truth, but it is a truth that the country, caught up in its ruthless ambitions and moral decay, can learn on my dime. I don't know who will lead us through the '90s, but they must be made to speak to this spiritual vacuum at the heart of American society, this tumor of the soul."
