The NAACLP is a Democratic Party house organ. President Bush doesn't owe Kwaisi Mfume or Julian Bond a thing. I can't recall the last time they voted for him.

[per loin]

Bush should have simply replied that he does not patronize racist organizations.

Civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson also voiced his dismay with Bush. "We have a government that is enfranchised by miscounted or uncounted votes."

When is this idiot going to learn to count?

When the reparationist whiners stop their temper tantrums and grow up, they'll be taken seriously. President Bush has more important things to do than to hand hold political adversaries who've made it clear they reject his policies and all his Administration stands for. The NAACLP really needs to go take a hike.

"Let's see. There I was, sitting around the table with foreign leaders, looking at Colin Powell and Condi Rice.
Yeah," Bush said.

He is such a wit...I love it !!

[johnboy]

... he has taken to appointing "right-wing extremist judges" to the bench.

yeah? name one.

Isn't the 2000 election considered ancient history by most Americans? I guess Jesse Jackson hasn't heard the news about 911 yet.

Screw the NAACP

""We have a government that is enfranchised by miscounted or uncounted votes. Even though it lost the election, it operates as if it has a mandate to take our rights," Jackson said during the convention on Monday."

This was not a spontaneous statement by the "mouth". He must be carrying 3x5 cards!

"We have a government that is enfranchised by miscounted or uncounted votes. Even though it lost the election, it operates as if it has a mandate to take our rights," Jackson said during the convention on Monday."

Are people actually stupid enough to believe this? Most Democrat black people vote 30 or 40 times in one election, doesn't Jackson know that yet? Someone should clue him in.

Uh huh. That's funny considering Sen. Patrick "Depends" Leahy has done such a wonderful job of preventing President Bush's judicial nominees from being confirmed. <sarcasm

[TJFLSTRAT]

Why would Bush want to rub shoulders with a bunch of racist, DNC liars?

[Clara Lou]

Some of the criticism that hurled at Bush upon his decision to appoint Rice and Powell was that they would be token minorities who would have no real power, but that assertion was quickly discounted with intimate consultation with Bush on all aspects of foreign affairs, particularly that involving the escalating crisis in the Middle East.
Had to eat crow on that one, eh?

Shelton told United Press International that while his organization celebrates Rice and Powell's role in the administration, it recognizes that they have no impact on domestic policy important to blacks.
-1- Some people simply refuse to be satisfied.
-2- And does Rod Paige have no impact on domestic policy important to blacks? I repeat, some people refuse to be satisfied.

The NAACLP really needs to go take a hike.

I can think of a better thing for them to do--and it has to do with what they can do to themselves.

[goldstategop]

What do President Bush and a bunch of rich, spoiled, and self centered black liberals have in common? They are the WEAKEST LINK!

I would say that working to see that their a$$e$ don't get blown away by terrorists would be considered of relative import to blacks.

"The NAACLP is a Democratic house organ."

Oh they're an organ alright.

How about school vouchers?
