"Playing the race card is simply an act of desperation that should never be played."

I don't see it as playing the race-card nor desperation. I see it as a truth that needs to be hammered in order to overcome the resistance of the left & democrats. To win the day so to speak.

For instance, (I know I'm going off a bit but stay with me), the people who would benefit most from school vouchers are low-income, urban blacks. It is they that suffer the most from lefty-democratic-NEA-government lock on education. The folks really clamoring for school-vouchers are low-income urban blacks. But they also happen to be overwhelmingly democrat & do you think for one day that they're going to get something from them that will actually make their lives easier/better? No way Jose'. If the conservative-right can get through the wedge-of-truth in order to separate the the NEA from the urban-black so we all benefit from vouchers, well & good. The same goes for Social Security: giving them & all the truth is not race baiting. Tailoring the message is not race-baiting.

Telling them that conservatives, Republicans & Christians are trying turn the clock back to the pre-Civil Rights era, is (IMHO).

I just don't see the purpose.

Is BUSH going to actually advoate SS reform that says blacks get it at age X and black females get it at Y, but white men don't get it for 10 years later.

Or some pay a higher percentage because they are an asian man instead of a hispanic women.

If that is the 'logical' end to raising this arguement I think BUSH just stepped into it.. BIG TIME.

Again, if we start this with SS... if we start defining benetifts and payments based on race and sex... why not do it with Welfare? Why not with public Schooling? If a certain race or sex can be STATISTICALLY shown to follow a pattern, do we change that law TOO?

Do we say since white asian men rarely make use of Welfare, should white asian men be exempt from that portion of their Taxes?

What if it is statistically shown that 'white catholics' hardly EVER make use of the public school system. They go to private school, so should all 'white catholics' be expemt from paying towards the public school system???

Seriously... this idea is SO STUPID, I can't beleive Bush echoed it.

He BETTER drop this BS now.. its BIG LOOSER.
