Obviously the election season has started.

Haaaa….you have never, not once, stopped campaigning. Too bad you do so with lies, distortions and fables.

Obviously the election season has started.

Of course the GOP has never,ever played the race card, at least according to our resident Josef Goebbels. One must almost admire Grimm for his persistent attempts to smother truth despite the increasing number of posters here who are catching his lies and distortions out. That the Dems speak out against racism while the GOP uses more subtle approaches, like birth certificates and school eligibility enables the Brother Grimm to spin his fable.

I believe that race as it pertains to the coming election is a useful tool to distract the voter and nothing more than that. With our myriad of problems, with endless war, a crashing economy, all the attempts to break the backs of workers, seniors, school kids et.al both parties would love the voter to fasten firmly on the candidates melanin content and nothing else.

Similar strategies were used by the racists in the late ‘50’s and early ‘60’s.  The solution is to simultaneously follow their rules and at the same time build a case even THIS Supreme Court can’t reject without each of them exposing their personal hypocrisy.

That’s why Bush was shocked by many Rehnquist Court decisions: Cases were made that used tools that appealed to what was important to Rehnquist, like court independence.

Remember: Brown vs Board was a unanimous decision when the CJ was the same Republican who pushed for the internment of the Japanese-Americans when he was Governor of California, Earl Warren.  But Thurgood Marshall and his team made too compelling a case for even such old-time racists as Hugo Black to reject.

OK, then let’s get the left-wing orgs to adjust their strategy to comply with this new law, make it work for them, AND GET THOSE VOTERS REGISTERED AND VOTING!

Then they can toss the bums out, and perhaps file a recall or impeachment of Rick Scott.

Just wait until the day comes when the minority race(s) are in the majority, and they start passing election laws that specify 1. If a ballot is disfigured by spots of t’bacca juice, it’s automatically discarded, 2. If a potential voter ‘asks’ for a ballot, instead of ‘axing’ for one, he/she is immediately disqualified, 3. If a would-be voter enters a polling place, smiles and says, ‘How y’all doon?’ instead of ‘Wassup, bro’, he’ll be shown the door and have to wait ‘till the next election.
Then we’ll hear the rednecks scream about ‘racism’.

There cannot be found a single sociology study illustrating that black democrats are any less racist than their white counterparts in the party.  Just as there cannot be found a sociology study illustrating that republicans are any more racist than democrats.  These facts will not matter to many in the 012 election.

“There are no more arbiters of truth,” said former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. “So whatever you can prove factually, somebody else can find something else and point to it with enough ferocity to get people to believe it. We’ve crossed some Rubicon into the unknown.”

National and local Democratic organizations will be pushing the race card ferociously over the next 18 months.

I’m as liberal as they come, so left I’m right on a few issues.  But I don’t see what
the big deal is here.  Can someone point to a specific issue in the bill that is
inherently unfair to any voter?  So you can’t vote two weeks early and minority
voters won’t be rousted from their apathy with hearty registration drives?  Call me
old fashioned, but it is still incumbent upon the voter to get his or her ass to the
poll on time and educate themselves on the issues.  Will this hurt the Democrat
cause? You bet, but the Dems deserve it for using minorities and doing jack shit
with the power they have.

Obviously the election season has started.  The last 3 days has seen several, so-called, news stories framing the 012 election around race.  The more liberal-minded Americans can’t let people forget the color of the president’s skin.

The democratic party will try and move its fast dwindling left flank back into the fold with terrific fears of phantom lynch mobs and “Jim Crow” tactics.  If the far left can’t support the president’s foreign policy, his corporate and banking connections, his failure to close GITMO, it will become imperative to fend off the Evils of Racism.

This tactic of manufacturing Crow around every corner will likely cause racial tensions within the U.S. to needlessly and dangerously reach heights that have not been seen for decades.

Remember the tag line.  If You Don’t Vote For Obama You Support Racists!

Those Florida crackers are going to be surprised when they are voted out of their offices after a bunch of ACORN members change their names to ‘Aqui’ Smith, ‘Aqui’ Washington, ‘Aqui’ Jones, run for the incumbent’s seats, and the cracker/incumbents realize that they paid for putting the successful usurpers’ campaign posters at every Florida polling place with taxpayer money.

I see this winding up in the Supreme Court, and thus being upheld. Imagine, if you will, a world in which Al Gore fought the Florida debacle with ferocity and all the campaign funds he had not spent. Imagine also that the Democrats understood the far reaching effect of Bushs’ Supreme Court nominees and fought those as well. Imagine the Democrats fighting for anything at all even!

What we are seeing now is the result of an unhindered far right takeover of government, of the media and of the House as well. Certainly having a supposedly Democratic President who acts like George W. with a brain doesnt help much nor does the deafening silence from fearful democratic politicos too scared of that the boogeyman will take away his seat in the next election to stand up and defend sanity and fairness.
