Race Pandering - There He Goes Again!
It seems like every time JFnKerry steps foot inside of a black church for political purposes, his message is the same: Pandering to the black vote as if the black vote was a monolith, and race-baiting. Come to think of it, does JFn ever go into to a black church for anything other than political reasons?
There is no evidence to back up this awful smear. As we have discussed in the past, he's probably referring to convicted felons. Someone correct me if I err.
In this next quote Kerry actually has enough gall about him to turn a question by (presumed) conservative voter around:
Al Gore was the one who tried to disenfranchise for many absentee ballot voters (ie oversees voters in the military). Kerry's rhetoric is galling and imflammatory. This man would be President!
Read the AP article, which is a source for the above. The reporter delves into the '10,000 Dem lawyers' issue. GOP officials offered to agree to a lawyer of each political persuasion in each voting district, nationwide. Nope. Kerry says he has his own team of lawyers "of all color and all mix." (Don't you just know he loves to hear himself talk). Sounds like a recipe for mass litigation if he finds himself down a point or less when the dust finally settles on election day.
Inspiration for this post came from this post by Captain Ed, who's celebrating one year of blogging today. In a year's time, he's become one of the giants.
He says: "Kerry talks a lot about George Bush being a divisive politician, but Kerry may be the most paranoid racebaiter since ... well, since Al Gore." Said well and said right!

"In battleground states across the country, we're hearing stories of how people are trying to make it harder to file for additional time, or how they're making it harder to even register," Kerry told an enthusiastic congregation at East Mt. Zion Baptist Church [in Cleveland, Ohio].
"We're not going to let that happen because the memories of 2000 are too strong. We're not going to allow 1 million African Americans to be disenfranchised."

In this next quote Kerry actually has enough gall about him to turn a question by (presumed) conservative voter around:
At a stop in Ohio earlier Sunday, Kerry told a voter concerned about ballots cast by military personnel overseas that Democrats are aware of voting problems and are concerned.
"We're seeing efforts by the Republicans, unfortunately, in various parts of the country to suppress votes and intimidate people, to do things that bring back memories that are pretty bitter in the American mind from the year 2000."
