[history]
The preamble of the Rules of the Republican Party adopted in 2000 said this: "The Republican Party is the party of the open door. Ours is the party of liberty, the party of equality of opportunity for all and favoritism for none."

Could the "KY democracy" be on the verge of going haywire next Tuesday?

Democrats, when in danger of losing, always play the race card, as they're doing here.
McAuliffe is DETERMINED to use Kentucky and Mississippi as referenda on Bush, and will stay in the gutter to do it.
The 7.2 percent growth figures don't help.

Republicans' unwillingness ever again to cede the black vote to Democrats Well, they can still cede the non thinking black vote. That's the ones that still buy in on the old tried and true RAT canards about "who's yer buddy" and who's gonna take care of yas.
But...the thinking blacks are definitely a part of the Pubbie camp and the numbers are definitely growing. They see that the only way to escape the slavery of the RAT politico web is to vote Republican.

When are black voters going to realize the democrats consider them as idiots. Once they start thinking on their own that's exactly what they find out.
The tide is turning but it's got a loooong way to go.

You have to consider the source here. Betty Baye has seen her syndie column dropped from some who carried it in the past, including Nashville's Tennessean, and she's getting desperate. Her subjects range from race to racial to slavery. She earns a salary for WWB (writing while black). It's the only thing she thinks about, and it's why she's gotten dropped. The Tennessean dropped her because they already have a guy on staff, Dwight Lewis, who Writes While Black.
Too bad, Betty. All that energy wasted on self-pity.

The Democrats have repeatedly stolen elections by stuffing the balot box, especially in "black" areas. Look at Philly, Chicago, and St. Louis. Anything that we can do to limit the number of times a person can vote under different names will help. When Rupublicans try to maintain honest elections by pointing out obvious voter fraud they are labeled as racists. To blacks in those areas, clean up your own act. Stop voter fraud. If you don't stop voter fraud, you shouldn't be upset when someone else (whites) try to limit the voter fraud in the black areas.

The party of Lincoln freed the slaves once.
Given time they will do it again.
The RAT slavemasters are marked for extinction.

Fast forward to Louisville in 2003, where the party of the open door and that espouses favoritism for none plans to "favor" black voters in Tuesday's election with the unwanted presence of white Republicans from outside the black districts to assure that the coloreds don't steal the election. Democrats are angry that the Republicans are going to try to keep them from committing vote fraud. This hysterical article proves to me that they have been committing vote fraud. Otherwise, why would they care if Republicans sent in poll watchers? If they weren't committing voter fraud, there would be nothing to worry about.

One way to defuse this issue is to recruit poll watchers from among the trusted members of a well-known black minister's congregation. In any given black community, there are usually one or more conservative ministers who recognize the plantation mentality of the Dems and are happy to help keep down voter fraud. If the minister selects some of his "church ladies" to watch the polls, nobody would dare commit fraud because these redoubtable women would slay him with a glance. And it kills the race card issue dead.

That could work but I'd be concerned because people are reluctant to turn in their neighbors.

Apparently the presence of an "unfamiliar" white face at a predominantly black polling place is enough to strike terror into the hearts of black voters, causing them to flee.
The author is obviously a product of the public school system who was never taught that the DemonRat party invented poll taxes and literacy testing to suppress black votes.

Oh, they don't have to turn them in.
Just keep 'em away from the ballot boxes!
(And the "church ladies", BTW, will have their neighbors "churched" for conduct unbecoming, etc., so I don't think they'd hesitate to bust somebody for voter fraud. Also, isn't the main problem groups of NON-neighbors being bused in and voting under assumed names? Having been on the receiving end of verbal thrashings from my nanny as a child, I'm pretty confident the ringers would creep out of the polling place with their heads hanging in shame and the scathing words of Sister Evaline ringing in their ears . . . :-D )

KY Govenor election race-card PING.
Betty Three-name Baye' is Gannett's local NAACP race-baiter. Her hate for whites is documented.
Playing the race card a little late, but they're desperate to hang on to the governor's mansion.

The U.S. Justice Department needs to place poll watchers in inner city polling places, especially in swing states like Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, New Mexico, and Ohio, where ballot box fraud by corrupt Democratic machines may make the difference in who takes the Presidential oath of office on January 20, 2005.
I do not doubt that had such measures been in place in 2000, Bush would have won Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Illinois, making the Florida controversy irrelevant. The Democratic Party was corrupt even before it was liberal. Ballot fraud was a hallmark of Boss Tweed in New York, the Pendergrass family in Kansas City (Harry Truman's mentors), and the Democratic "padrones" in South Texas, one of whom placed Lyndon Johnson in a U.S. Senate seat by egregious ballot box stuffing. The corrupt Richard Daley of Chicago placed John Kennedy into the White House through blatant fraud.
The GOP must tell the black race baiters and the white liberal whiners to sit down and shut up. Then, they must ensure a clean election.
To: AnAmericanMother
You've hit on the main point in the nutshell - how can white people from outside the neighborhood credibly raise challenges in precincts where they don't know a single human being? This was a truly boneheaded move, and a tactical embarrassment, considering the fact that the GOP has been making some inroads with Northup's congressional races.

Oh great. So now the race hustlers claim that voter fraud prevention is racist. Today, civil rights issues are nothing but partisan politics.
