Since the 2000 election, it has become an article of faith for the Democratic Party and its allies on the political left that George W. Bush won by suppressing the black vote in Florida and elsewhere. John Kerry and Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe have made numerous speeches declaring that Democrats must remain vigilant against a repeat of such Republican chicanery. People For the American Way, New York Times columnists Bob Herbert and Paul Krugman and some members of the Congressional Black Caucus have been recycling a false story suggesting that Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has dispatched state police to the homes of elderly blacks in an effort to discourage them from voting. DNC officials have produced a manual urging party members to publicly challenge Republican efforts to "intimidate" voters even if there is no evidence that intimidation is taking place.

How many middle aged, puny and/or overweight white guys in Dockers are riding into all-democrat inner city areas and intimidating anyone?
If anything, it's the other way around. I'd sure like to know the specifics.
If they are going to claim intimidation, they better prove it, not just whine and demagogue.
McAulife was on a CNN show a few days ago and the moderator asked:
Moderator: Do you think its right to take "preemption" and claim voter intimidation even if there is none?
McAulife: You bet!
I wish I was recording it.
But even this article begins by repeating an entire paragraph of those false democrat lies!
Safire writes a column for the NYT--I don't think this is one of his.
BUMP!
bttt
"Are you sure this is Safire"
Yes, I linked the print version. But it's Safire. LOL
Don't watch the Communist News Network and never listen to McAwful...I'll never understand how that clown managed to avoid a SEC investigation on that Global Crossing stock deal.
This thing about Michigan having to accept votes in different counties is what's gonna allow the same people to vote many times. Who's gonna stop them from going to varying districts within the same county to vote everywhere?!
Yes, there is going to be massive voter fraud.
What can you do about it, in reality?
The leftists cry "intimidation" if anyone attempts to verify the identity or citizenship of anyone that shows up to vote.
And when an election is won through fraud, what do you do?
You can't reverse it.
I made a mistake.
I got my articles mixed up.
Safire did not author this piece.
This was an editorial in the Washington Times.
"And when an election is won through fraud, what do you do?
You can't reverse it."
Yes you can. You take it all the way up to the Supreme Court and they decide. Gore set the precedent. I will take my chances with a 5-4 Supreme Court.
I just wouldn't be suprised if two judges succumbed to Arkancide in the next 13 days. My bet would be Scalia and Thomas in a hunting accident.
McAulife has got to be the biggest scumbag to lead a national party in my lifetime. The guy is unbelieveable.
