Slavery’s Legacy Shackled the Black Vote—And Cost Gore Thousands of Ballots
Democracy in Chains

by Laura Conaway & James Ridgeway
November 29 - December 5, 2000

They meant to vote for Al Gore. Many came from the black, poor, education-deprived neighborhoods of Jacksonville, and had never cast a ballot before. But they got on the buses in Duval County, Florida, and they went to the polls. They did just what the Democratic organizers instructed: Punch a hole on every page.

Like it was accepted in Grandma Walton's day.

Hey, everybody knows Grandma Walton was a goer, back in the day.

;O)

[Eala]

Ugh. Every one of those pairs is a mockery.

"Our hopes for a happy, loving, ordinary marriage"

...between two women.

"Whose country is this, anymore? Someone tell me. I get the feeling it's no longer mine."

Here's my observation: gay marraige isn't legal most places in the US, and hasn't been legal. Listening to these people, you'd think that it had always been legal and that just now GWB was trying to illegalize it.

They're the ones trying to push an agenda on us while they act like we're trying legislate them.

"I've fantasized about leaving this country since I was 12 years old,

Please make it a reality.

Canada? Sound like she's got the "Call of the Flannel"

This is making people MORE determined to have the FMA. The homosexuals should move to scandanavia. It is a homosexual paradise.

This article is attempting to co-opt the word "family". It is not a homosexual sex partner, its "family".

The NY AG provided the roadmap of the homosexuals. All states will be sued to force recognition based on equal protection. Why? because sex is an individual adult right, FFC is exposed to a potential (but increadibly weak) public policy exception. Either way either would eventually work to kill 1996 DMA.

We have to have FMA. My vote will be cast with the FMA and I will be urging others to do the same.

Kerry would federalize civil unions. Imigration, social security would all be drained in order to give governemnt sanction to an adult sex act.

No matter how many loony judges say its legal, and no matter how many worthless licenses are issued, gays will never really be married.

[bellas_sister]

I believe the "HE" you speak of is infact a "SHE".... that is were the whole GAY marriage thing would come in...

[giznort]

"Our hopes for a happy, loving, ordinary marriage had become a national threat."

Excuse me, a happy, loving,ordinary marriage, i.e., between a man and a woman, which is ordinary, has not become a national threat. When you try to skew a marriage as anything else, it is not a marriage.

[longtermmemmory]

actually not, the real money is when there are children and marriages over five years. Homosexuals do not have children, homosexuals are only together less than two years.

That is not even long enough for temporary alimony. Lawyers who think there is money in homosexual divorce are wrong. Besides, they will go to the homosexual lawyers. They will not go to the "normal" lawyers.

[Sofa King]

"My fantasy, other than watching you leave, is watching you and your wife get it on..."

Unshaven legs and all?

[fr_freak]

freaks

Hey now...calling them that is an insult to freaks everywhere.

[longtermmemmory]

The supposed straigh man looks very unhappy. Perhaps its the freakshows behind him.

John Kerry, the "Gay!" candidate.

[tuckrdout]

"I want our politicians and religious leaders to stop going on television and suggesting that legalizing marriage for us would be like legalizing sex with dogs. My wife, in my arms? They are talking about my wife, in my arms. Do they know, do they care, how much that hurts?"

Why does this "hurt" them? I really don't understand their prejudice. No one loves a person like their dog. Unconditional love that, is not found in humanity. Dogs don't argue, dogs don't demand their own way. If someone finds pure joy and happiness with their dog and wants to share their life with them, why should this upset this homosexual couple. Why should they be "hurt" by the private relationships of another person?

Could it be that legally equating the interspecies love parterners, somehow degrades and makes a mockery of the "solemn" nature of her relationship? Because in fact interspecies relationships are NOT normal, and are in fact aberrant..deviant?

Well now. If she can understand that, then she should be able to understand that this is exactly how Hetrosexual couples feel about their marriages. It "hurts" them to hear homosexual partnerships described in the same terms as theirs.

[concerned about politics]

She wants our son to grow up an American, even if it means he'll lack the protections of the kid next door.

Only if he turns into a flaming fag, too. Maybe homos shouldn't try to raise children then, aye?

[Publius6961]

Do the gay gene and the moron gene go together? This person worked herself up to a lather fretting about something she never had up to now. Even before "last tuesday". Is anything going to be different for her should the Marriage Amendment pass? Only in her tiny mind. No one, as far as I know, is planning to come "after her" or her wife or any children she may have rented out.

What is it with these people? I would be happy never having to hear from her again, and I can assure her she will never hear from me, either. She can call herself a husband or a tree or a brick. I don't care. If being unable to have any emotional rest because I will never call her married, she can just learn to deal with it. It's my choice.

Poor baby. Living her "pretend life" isn't enough? Too bad.

[kennedy]

That's what happens when you can't win without the votes of people who are too stupid to vote.

[tuckrdout]

"They may get it (Marriage amendment)out of the House, but never the Senate. This blustering of mine is worth only so much. We each know the amendment would likely pass in the states—it would need approval from 38, and that many already have statutes against gay marriage. Would Sarah leave then? She says maybe."

PLEASE, PLEASE pressure your Senators to pass this amendment QUICKLY!!! We need it. We can not "leave it up to the states"....activists know that this means that they win. The courts will rape our society with homosexual "marriage".
