anyone watching Nightline?

[Ksec]

Oh man . Theyre crucifying Florida for its voter disenfranchisement.

Same felon lists as 2000. Same names that match being barred from voting.

Nothing has changed. I see some real shlt hitting the fan this time. It wont be peaceful IMO.

1. I know you're right and it's disgusting. I really don't see

Americans from both sides putting up with that shit this year. I don't see people like Ted Koppel, Peter Jennings, Keith Olbermann, etc. not pitching a fit either. This bunch of thugs has been the worst thing that ever happened to this country at least in my lifetime; on second thought, the 60's were pretty rough.

2. thx 4 the tip

I have it on now.

3. I'm going to bed

for some reason, sports or something, it is one hour later 12:30 am.

4. why shouldn't they? Who is stopping them? NOBODY

people like this, bullies, Bushco-ites, will do whatever they can get away with.

They'll do it in plain sight if nobody stops them.

And nobody is.

Everybody just assumes somebody ELSE is gonna fix this problem.

It ain't happening.

5. Let them try to plea a "mistake" this time

They had 3 1/2 fucking years to do something about it, and they cannot tell me with a straight face that they didn't do this shit on purpose. The "stenographers" (the media) will hype it exactly the way the Repukes spin it too.

6. the Democrats have known about this list for 4 years . . .

why haven't they done anything about it? . . . at minimum, they could be screaming from the rafters, and including a mention of the list in every campaign speech . . . from what I can see, they've just let it remain in place without so much as a WTF? . . .

[JUS]

7. Yes - it is so DAMNING

they are trying to do it AGAIN....

Fuck them - if * wins it will be through cheating - he will be a fraud, once again - the people will not take it again...

these repigs deserve to be IN JAIL...

they are CRIMINALS...

Fuck them...I hate them...they are SCUM...

8. Only ones who have been crying out on a daily basis ore

members of the Congressional Black Caucus. I have seen countless special order speeches on the floor by them, on CSPAN, to empty chamber and NO media other than CSPAN. NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE, but them and us! They are the only ones who stood up at the time. ALL our Dem Senators and white Reps lost their collective voice and NO ONE but the black Reps rose to defend Gore against the onslaught.
I don't know if they will have any more courage this time around, either. Of course, the Black Caucus WILL.:mad:

9. I predict African American VOTE RIOTS this time

they are VERY VERY PISSED down there, and have LOTS of organization

I heard Ralph Neas on the radio....he was talking about all the organizations involved, particularly in Florida

the Black Caucus is going all out there, too, and you can look for some very serious confrontations if they try to pull the same sort of Gestapo tactics as they did last time

10. How interesting...

Nightline didn't care much after the 2000 election. Their one program on the subject in the months after the selection blamed the voters.

I hope they have awakened and will do their job this time with investigative reporting and informing the public and that it's not too late.
