It is only disfranchisement, when Democrats lose an election

You will see this rough in many forms soon

[Judith Anne]

Maybe we will see it in many forms, but frankly, I don't think it will go anywere. No legs. People are sick of it.

Just my opinion.

[Support Free Republic]

Got a minute?

I'd really like you to rub my ears,
or help out FR.

[Trueblackman]

I meant the Op-Ed.

Jesse who?

[Sloth]

Excellent. I was wondering 'what if Davis had won?' myself -- I didn't know Hannity had actually asked JJ that.

[Phantom Lord]

Love reading your stuff.

"disenfranchise"

I was curious and looked up the word in the dictionary. The word is listed without a definition. I guess it could mean anything!

[Teetop]

I saw Je$$e Jacka$$ on the "Hardball" show as well. Chris Matthews ask Jesse why would he blame the Republicans, when the democrats have had mayoral control of LA and SF for years. Jesse didn't say a word about Chris' comment, he just kept rambling on....

When Jackson answered no, Hannity laughed at him. I think that is the proper response to Jackson, he should not be treated seriously by anybody.

[Chad Fairbanks]

I call upon the producers of the Hannity and Colmes Show to turn over the Jackson interview to the Department of Justice and that there be a full investigation to see if there was a coordinated effort by Jesse Jackson and Gray Davis to intimidate the legal voters of California during a statewide election with the threat of a lawsuit to follow any results that were not favorable for Mr. Davis.

Excellent suggestion, my FRiend! I think we should all follow this suggestion and send out some polite emails to the producers requesting that they do this...

[Always Right]

Jesse who?

Maybe it is that ex-Pro-wrestler guy whom was the governor of Minnisota.

[First_Salute]

I found it exceedingly difficult to both register to vote, and to vote, in California.

[Congressman Billybob]

Good morning, my friend,

It is a pleasure to read what you write, as it is to see you speak in public -- including when the wind chill was minus something on the Mall in Washington in the snow. Thank you for your efforts.

It's pronounced "dis-UM-franch-ized"...

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Liberal Activists did not even wait for the polls to close in California’s historical recall election of Governor Gray Davis before they were screaming about their voters being disenfranchised.

Not to split hairs, but this author has it wrong. Liberal activists screamed about being disenfranchised well before the polls even opened.

I'm reminded of the Georgt Brett Pine Tar Bat incident. the bat was just fine until he hit a home run - THEN it was called into question.

[Chad Fairbanks]

I thought it was "Disen-France-izement" - defined as "The people are in danger of becoming less like the French"?

[tioga]

I saw Sean/JJ on that night, lol. I saw a few shows where this was asked of different dems, same answer. FOXNews appears the only ones who dare to ask the tough questions, especially Britt Hume.

when I signed up under “Motor Voter...

I'm old enough to remember poll taxes, literacy requirements, etc. that were sometimes used to disenfranchise black voters. Now with "motor voter" and instant registration in certain states, perhaps with no more proof of residency than an envelope with an address on it, we have gone to the opposite extreme of enfranchising those who are not citizens or are not qualified to vote.

Ironically, charges of bigotry can and are leveled at both ends of this pendulum swing in American civics and the "law" has backed up both of these injustices.
