Comments: Red Hoodies, and the Collapse of Civility

Ms. A,
Hoodies aside, it would behoove us all to realize the dems are going to try and suppress the Bush vote on election day. Among the ways they will do this includes: poking along the line and in the voting booth to take the max amount of time, asking poll workers unnecessary questions to slow down the line, or from the inside --being a poll worker who takes forever to find names in the registration book or list. The net result is long lines which discourage soccer moms, seniors, and people who work from standing forever in line to vote. So maybe making a "W" fashion statement with colored hoodies is one way to combat this repellant tactic. Another would be to have the resolve to stand in line to vote for as long as it takes -- whatever it takes!

Amen to that. This election has been like a trip through an old-fashioned "fun house" with distorting mirrors and tilting floors working over your sense of equilibrium at every step.

"We should wear hoodies that are white"

That sure would jibe with GOP efforts to suppress minority votes...

Oh, you mean the ones the Civil Rights Commission scoured Florida for after the 2000 election, and were completely unable to find? The ones that appear to be largely the result of fevered thinking by people who don't recognize that the Republicans are the party of Lincoln and the Civil Rights Act? The imaginary efforts that only exist in the tiny minds of the paranoid?

Those efforts?

That's truly funny. if Lincoln were alive today, he sure as hell wouldn't be a member of the current version of the GOP. And to call the GOP the "party of the Civil Rights Act" is hilarious.

Do you really want to discuss the ties between the Democratic Party and the Segregationist South? Do you really want to talk about Robert Byrd, the only Klansman in the entire U.S. Legislature?

How about the fact that in the four years between 2000 and 2004, G.W. Bush doubled his percentage of the black vote?
