Are you saying it's a whitewash?

Sorry!

2. I'm saying that if you are not white, the RNC does not want you to vote.
If you are white, and you are a Democrat, the RNC will simply switch your vote in the machine.

I'm all pissed off and not making much sense.


:mad:


Paul Weyrich is the Father of the Reagan Revolution, co-founder of the Heritage Foundation and Free Congress Foundation. Weyrich & Richard Viguerie worked together on the first successful direct-mail campaigns for Ronald Reagan.

Weyrich, speaking in private to a church to Republican activists said this: “How many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome? Good government! They want everybody to vote! I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections, quite candidly, goes up as voting populace goes down.” (This is an audio recording played often by Thom Hartmann on his radio show.)

House Delays Renewal of Voting Rights Act

By LAURIE KELLMAN
The Associated Press
Wednesday, June 21, 2006

WASHINGTON -- House Republican leaders on Wednesday postponed a vote on renewing the 1965 Voting Rights Act after GOP lawmakers complained it unfairly singles out nine Southern states for federal oversight.


Here is a GD/P thread on it:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=2690938

It's also up at the top of DailyKos.

Combine this with all the other vote supression and election fraud and how the right considers black voters to be sub-normal in intelligence (David Tibo (sp) from Brent Bozelle's CNS News on Thom Hartmann was juuust a bit too glib last week) and thus not deserving of the vote and my deep seated hatred of these Nazi sociopaths tends to spiral up in a positive feedback loop.

Thanks for looking in on me. I'm gonna have a hot shower and snuggle with Ms. OR. :hi: :hug:
