Meek & Horowitz are correct.
The democrats are going to be be playing the race card to it's full measure from now until November 2004. The will play it everytime it's dealt {ala' Trent Lott}, and will pull it from the bottom of the deack when it isn't dealt to them fairly.We need to play it first & better. The only way to beat the race card, is to trump it with something better.
I would dearly love to see President Bush address it directly on occasion - exposing the false declarations/statements by the 'RATS labeling Republicans as 'racists' for what they are - false! Bush uses the bully pulpit quite well when he uses it. I would almost bet, however, that he won't do this. I hope I'm wrong, of course.
Thanks for your kind comments, my FRiend. And Merry Christmas to you and your family.
