Kerry Hints GOP May Suppress Black Votes
EFL, thank G-d.John Kerry suggested Saturday night that Republicans may try to keep black voters from casting their ballots to help President Bush win in November. "We are not going to stand by and allow another million African American votes to go uncounted in this election," the Democratic presidential nominee told the Congressional Black Caucus. "We are not going to stand by and allow acts of voter suppression, and we're hearing those things again in this election." Anyone else appreciate the irony of a group of elected black officials listening to and supporting claims that their constituents, who obviously DID vote for them, had been prevented from voting? Kerry has a team of lawyers to examine possible voting problems to try to prevent a repeat of the 2000 election disputes. He also has said he has thousands of lawyers around the country prepared to monitor the polls on election day. "What they did in Florida in 2000, some say they may be planning to do this year in battleground states all across this country," Kerry said. "Well, we are here to let them know that we will fight tooth and nail to make sure that this time, every vote is counted and every vote counts." Save yourself some money and ask Gore's "team of lawyers" whether or not anything untoward actually happened, because they found nothing. Neither did Congressional committees. By the way, did I mention that you are a race-baiting jerk? Bush-Cheney spokesman Steve Schmidt said the campaign would not respond to Kerry's "baseless, divisive attacks" until Sunday. "Today is a day of remembrance," he said. The Massachusetts senator also criticized the president for failing to meet with the caucus since his first month in office and for what he said was a failure to meet the Biblical standard set by the Good Samaritan to help others in need. What the hell is he talking about? Anyone? Bueller? Posted by: Chris W. 2004-09-12 |
