That was an excellent piece of information that John Lott wrote about. The main point that I remember from it is that black Republicans were about 50 times more likely to be disenfranchised by having their vote thrown out than black Democrats.

Now take your average person who considers themself well informed and in the know and see if they know that. Our media makes it breathtakingly easy for Democrats to get out their talking points and Republicans have hope for a few editorials to go their way.

So, in other words, we need to make ours count.

There is a large percentage of dems out there who refuse to accept the truth. They even turned on their own newspaper, the NYTimes. They refuse to accept that a black could even vote republican, much less be "disenfrancished". You're only disenfranchised if you're a democrat. These people are evil, pure and simple.

This is always my biggest concern. It is amazing how ignorant the average American is. Most people I know have no idea what went on in Florida. No idea at all. Their concept is that the Supreme Court ruled in Bush's favor. They have no clue why, no knowledge of what occured before that decision, and no clue why there was a controversy. They had a higher level of awareness last December but have not bothered to think about it since then.

These people are just waiting to be spoon-fed any propoganda the DNC and press will feed them.

Where is the RNC in presenting this stuff? Where are the RNC in making the argument that these 'overvotes' were spoiled balllots and probably the result of ballot tampering on the part of Democrats? I have'nt heard anything from the RNC. That fact alone has a smell to it. Why won't the RNC talk about it?
