Here's an interpretation from a black perspective of the NY Times article over the weekend commentating on the huge advantage Democrats have in new voter registration.

It's called voter fraud.

Republicans in Ohio deployed Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell – one of their most highly valued African American spokes-models –to erect classic Jim Crow-style stumbling blocks in new voters’ paths, including a requirement that voter registration cards be printed only on thick, 80-pound paper.

Oh, yeah... that old chestnut! The "classic" Jim Crow law that demands the use of specific paper... oh how the white man is just keeping a brotha down!

I wonder if the Democrats have ever considered that stealing an election by fraud could start another Civil War?

Rubbish. African-Americans are registering Republican too, probably in greater numbers than ever. Rubbish. Liberal media just doesn't want black folks to be free at last. Neither do the Dems.

"Newly registered voters Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, Jackie Robinson, Bessie Smith and Redd Foxx are eager to vote this year," said one Democrat.

A few well placed Republicans at polls passing out a beer to individuals to take a hike might off set their advantage.

“African-Americans, who generally support Democrats, are registering in high numbers. About 32 percent of newly registered voters through June are African-American. Overall, 26 percent of Georgia's registered voters are black.”

***A recent BET/CBS News Poll found that Blacks support Kerry by an 8-to-1 margin over Bush, but that support for the Democratic nominee is not enthusiastic.

....“He and [Attorney Gen. John] Ashcroft have had a closed-door policy when it comes to Black Americans,” Jackson said, reminding that Bush sent two nominees, both highly opposed by the civil rights establishment, to the federal bench while Congress was away on recess; that he stood strong against affirmative action; and that he refused to meet with members of the Congressional Black Caucus or the NAACP.

However, Bush campaign officials, as well as several leading Black Republicans, have called criticisms of the president’s policies ill-founded. Just this week, Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, a Republican, referred to such criticisms as “borderline ignorant.”

Steele is joined by Education Secretary Rod Paige, actor Joseph Phillips, former Oklahoma Rep. J.C. Watts and other prominent African Americans who say that Bush has increased homeownership among Blacks, hiked education spending for initiatives that help poor and minority children, helped spark minority small businesses, and hired an abundance of high-profile African Americans in his administration..... *** Source

...highly empathetic to Iraqi deaths as well as those of Americans...

Including the lives of the terrorists, I assume. And all being blamed on the POTUS, no doubt, instead of the terrorists. Excuse me while I have more concern about my fellow Americans' deaths in Iraq than those of any others.

Exactly what they want really. The hard left wants America weak any way they can achieve it.

What makes them think that these new black voters will vote Democrat? Sure, traditionally they've voted Democrat in percentages up to 90%. But numerous pastors of black churches have become disenchanted with the Democrats, particularly on the issue of gay rights, and school choice. Many black pastors are supporting Bush. This movement toward Bush in the black community has largely gone unnoticed by the MSM (of course), but the Democrats know about it. We're beginning to see cracks in the monolithic block of black voters that dutifully voted Democrat in past elections.

Let's hope it works just like in 2000...they register new voters, but forget to tell them HOW to vote. Then...cry that we have disenfranchised them.

I have learned not to believe what a 'rat puts out. This is merely to intimidate those that do vote.

"a hole in the souls of, particularly, white males"

It's what I love the most, an ironic double standard.
