"While Alabama's GOP allows crossover voting, Democrats do not."

Once again the 'pro-choice' party clearly demonstrates that they are opposed to any choice other than that of killing one's unborn child.

"Some of the same people that are [leading the investigation] fought hard for the right to vote in an unrestricted election, where they shouldn't feel intimidated to come to vote," Story said.


Nearly four decades after the march on Selma, race and politics remain intertwined. Only now, the struggle is not over the right to vote, but who can vote for whom.


Hmmmmmm. Very interesting!

I'll take this at face value. No, La Tosha does not mean "The Tosha". Black mamas have a very different way of naming kids. La and Le are frequently appended to names, as is LeDon, LaKecia, LaShelle, LeMika, etc. Another one in the news recently was the baby Florida state DCS lost. Her name was Riwalu. Riwalu is an acronym for "Remember I Will Always Love You". Another in the conjunction of two other names. Ron and Dee's grandson is DeeRon. Another is the totally made up name like the famous "Beyonce". The movie "Booty Call" has a girl named "Lysterene". She says "but it's with a Y" Spelling is creative too.

Fun stuff !
