LOL! You'd think that blacks would get tired of being lied to and used by the Democrats.
They're still convinced that the Republicans somehow stole their votes in 2002. It's sad how Democrats exploit ignorance to get votes.
So, this has bugged me for a long time...today is Sunday, right? Did I hear any sermon/homily about politics? NO. Were there any politicians there? MAYBE, but they were sitting anonymously in the pews and participating in the celebration of the Mass, and not "preaching" or "campaigning".
Where is the "church and state" rule?!
I'm not a Catholic, I just work there, but I have to say, there's such a thing as respect for the Church, and I expect even President Bush would have a hard time being invited to my church to speak at a worship service/Mass...and he is a devout Christian, unlike (caveat: IMHO) Al Gore...what does "getting out the vote have to do with "whoever would be great must be the least"?!?!
/rant...no offense intended to anyone!
For every black voter Algore's presence in the campaign mobilizes in Florida, it will alienate two Cuban voters who remember the Elian raid by the Klintons regime he was part of and two rednecks in North Florida into voting for Jeb Bush.
Algore in his own words, 1992-2000 - including Earth In The Balance!
This guy's IQ matches the temperature of a stump (about 55 degrees).
Too bad these kids don't know what he and his brother have called blacks behind their backs, and how he's just using them for his own personal political needs
I....have....the...music...in...me...buzz... *click*
Do the right thing.

Results don't come in party labels or innocuous words like Affirmative Action. It comes by producing a positive result that improvers our lifestyle and delivers the bacon - and I've come to learn that no ones mastered keeping the bacon away from Black folks more than the Dixiecrats under the guise of the Democrat party.
Under previous administrations and under so-called affirmative action I've never witnessed such a prolific outreach effort by our university system to attract African-Americans students to their campuses - not during the administration of Bob Graham or Lawton Chiles was such an aggressive effort made. My sons and their friends were bombarded with overtures, offers, paid visits, phone calls - you name it to attend the University of Florida and Florida State, the two flagship school in the state's university system. If a young African-American high school graduate with good grades wants to attend at state university today - they're reaching out with open arms.
I dare to be different, I always have - but as voters, especially loyal to the Democrat party we can no longer afford to vote blindly Democrat nor to ignore the rules of exchange - we vote because we want something a candidate has to offer. Bill McBride has offered us nothing - doesn't have an inkling of the issue that affect our community and hopes you will vote - not for him but against Jeb Bush. Isn't that a sorry way to seek your vote?
And no, I don't agree with everything Jeb Bush proposes or some of the Republican rhetoric - the same would apply to almost any politician - but we need to begin voting based on facts and not emotions.
And never in our history has a governor been as accessible as Jeb Bush. Got a question? Bush responds in almost lightning like speed via the Internet. Heck, I could never get a hold of the old he-coon, Lawton Chiles.
Lastly, tell me one, just one major economic initiative under a Florida Democrat governor that was implemented successfully on behalf of Black Floridian. If you like the pandering, the verbal posturing, and empty actions of what you use to get - McBride's probably your man - for me I'm going with Jeb Bush - I like results.
The Broward Time recommends you re-elect Jeb Bush for governor.
Please let me know if you want on or off my "'til election day" Fla. ping list.
Is this a picture of Gores upcoming Saturday Night Live performance? ;)
