It is only disfranchisement, when Democrats lose an election

Good piece!

I wish you would come and plant your roots in Daytona Beach right now. We are about to go thru this for the mayoral runoff. One of the front runners was a one-time head of the NAACP in the S.F. Bay Area. She raised over $100,000 for her campaign this election here, compared to the average $20,000 for other candidates (*sniff*sniff...I smell a RAT). She was one of the loud mouths about "voter disenfranchisement" during the 2000 Prez elections in Florida, specifically Volusia County. Volusia went 66% to Gore and they had voter fraud, and the local Dems attempted to sue to stop the recount here.

Listen, I'll help you pack and move, and you can even bunk here for the time being!

I agree but I was pointing out Jackson attempt to portray the election as fuard.

[Ready4Freddy]

You need a new distionary.

[Ready4Freddy]

errr, dictionary. :)

Voter fraud, which is more widespread, is as much disenfranchisement as inhiting voting. If my vote is nullified by a fraudulent voter, I have effectively been disenfranchised.

You really hit the nail on the head. Jesse Jackson is an opportunist and shakedown artist. He actually claimed that voters in Los Angeles County were disenfranchised. How can there be a Republican conspiracy to disenfranchise the voters? The California Secretary of State (Kevin Shelly) and the Los Angeles municipal government (Mayor and City Council) are all Davis-supporting Democrats.

[Mr. Mojo]

claimed that mostly Democrat and minority voters were disfranchised because of punch card ballots.

Why? Are punch card ballots only used in minority communities? If not, and everybody in the state uses them, do these minorities not understand that Jesse Jackson is basically telling them that they're too stupid to use these ballots, but that everyone else isn't?

***Jesse Jackson is an opportunist and shakedown artist.***

Yup. That's certainly the truth. But unfortunatley, too many conservatives are afraid to challenge the assumptions of Je$$e. They're afraid of being called the "R" word, racist.

The Chicago media fawns all over Je$$e. They portray him as if he is royalty. The reporters never question the motives of Je$$e. The media bias is maddening.

You see I was disenfranchised,,,, but ...were no Protests by the ... NAACP, No Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton-lead protest and no U.S. Civil Right Commission investigation

Well of course not, those activists help black folks, and you're not black... er... oh, wait... oh....

LOL. Give 'em hell, Kev

Bravo Kevin !!

Your political commentary deserves to be read by a much wider audience. It is refreshing to hear the truth. I applaud your efforts to 'tell it like it is' regarding Jesse Jackson's Rainbow Coalition. Keep up your great work.

Of course, Jesse is a shakedown artist!

Nobody dares challenge Jesse, because they are called racists whether they are correct or not. He is a big intimidator --- incidents with bullying the Rev. Jesse Peterson (BOND) in redevelop discussions in LA where the Rev. Peterson is a resident and Jesse Jackson is not.

Last year when the nightclub incident occurred, he came on the scene and left his car in the middle of the street. He was about to hand his keys to the new Chicago Police Chief and have someone park his car when the Police Chief just stared him down.

And nobody even audits the books of PUSH (either the Fed or Illinois) because they fear being part of the Vast Right Wing conspiracy which every liberal Demonrat calls racist.

In regards to the voting fraud, that is the whole intent of motor voter. Typically it helps the urban/suburban people who can't make it to the voter's registration even though they can make it to the typically crowded license branch. This is somewhat disingenuous since in the bigger areas, they are more likely to have some branches closer together.

It all just helps voter fraud which is so common in urban/suburban areas which are typically controlled by the Demonrats anyway. There is no effort by the local prosecutors to charge and pursue voter fraud because the bulk of them are Demonrats too (i.e., Milwaukee, Wisconsin and the Chicagoland area). Voters rights are something to be used by them, not some principle which should be honored.

Oh, well, as they say in Chicago --- vote early, vote often!!

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

Sick of what? What he said is true.

[BohDaThone]

volusia county was roughly 97,000 to 82,000, which is under 55%, not 66% for gore. And the recount in Volusia was completed within 4 days of the election, and I don't know of anyone trying to stop it, on either side.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

You're correct. I should have said "my area". It was actually 69%. here
