A couple points to make:

First off, Colonel, if you had any shred of decency you'd have put a disclaimer such as this, "The link has filth for music, that is to say, foul language. If there are children and ladies within hearing range of your computer, turn the sound down as their is nothing worth hearing, anyway!", but I guess the fact that you didn't says alot.

You may get your information from political bits with obvious spin (Redundant, political bits, political spin), but I don't. You wasted my time with that. As far as cons not voting, no news there. They have to apply to be able to vote again. As far as Makeup woman wanting names that were the same as felons' taken off the voting list, feel free to provide real proof. That is nothing but crap. As far as that happening, who would be surprised tha thas ever dealt with bureacracy? I've known people who've been turned down for gun purchases because the FBI mistook them for felons although they had better records than me! If the FBI would make such mistakes, do you think a state run by Jeb, and before that a democrat, would be any better?

No proof of racism, unless you want to take into account your little link, there.

I know the truth when it is proven, so far all I've seen is a political campaign add with no substance.

Unlike you, though, I'm interested in the truth. If you stumble across some, let me know.

Meanwhile, I have my own research to do regarding my own state's codes.

First of all, I've refrained from dissing you for two reasons: 1) Its too damn easy; 2) you get your feelings hurt and you go into a senseless tirade with no point whatsoever. Secondly, the music is from "Grand Theft Auto 3., A video game for PS2. I'm betting that any kid either has the game or has the soundtrack so no disclaimer. Plus, its a friggin good song.

Next, any kind of research is wasted upon you and a waste of my time b/c you don't even try to evaluate it for authenticity. You just dismiss it out of hand with NO---I repeat---NO information to backup your claims. If it doesn't fit with your repugnant automoton programming, its bogus. So, what's the point.

For True Lies, I have this site for her if she would like to see more research indepth with excel spreadsheets, numerous news articles, and the like.

gregpalast.com...

See, I bring info people can learn from. TC, you just bring republican mantra which gets old fast. See the signature line.

Colonel, you show your self to be, well, what is already know. You say that crap came from a video game, and the usage of F##K is ok because of that? My child doesn't even try that kind of immature logic, hasn't since he was 6. Says something there. But, in case a moderator has to be told, read the rules of the board. If pure, mature sense doesn't apply in your world, maybe you can simply read the rules.

Now, as far as the information goes, the problem you have with me is I do in fact evaluate the writing posed as fact.

It is obvious that your site to which you point has a strong agenda, first off. Bein as such, it doesn't take a detective or a judge to realize such evidence should be taken with suspicion. When the first sentence begins with, "When future historians want to know what happened to America in 2000, they’ll read Greg Palast’s The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.", it is apparent that a book peddling follows. And, when they accuse a company of falsifying their work intentionally without even explaining how such information was gained, it also makes one wonder about the validity of the information. I suppose maybe if I bought the book I might find footnotes? If that be the case, maybe they would do well to afford footnotes in this advertisement disguised as an editorial.

Regardless, if there was any truth to this, please explain why there would not be a firestorm of information from the mainstream media, that hates Bush, and a public demand for investigation by the Democratic party?

This was not an issue during the election of 200, the mud that was slung was that FHP was impeding black voters from making it to the polls. Remember that? Or maybe you have forgotten that shameless and untrue accusation. I don't blame you, I'd want to forget it, too, were I a supporter of the team that made it.

Regardless of this, Bush has made no statements or actions that further racism.

As far as you hurting my feelings, Colonel, you do not. You insult my sense of civility and decency. There's a difference.
Now, go and read about posting vulgarity on the board and quit blaming it on video games. That crap doesn't wash with me anymore than you thinking you hurt my feelings.

If you care to have a decent discussion, if you are capable of doing so, and would like to furhter explain your position and assist us with understanding your assertions with more than a agenda-driven website pushing an agenda-driven book, please, I for one am all ears (eyes).

TC: Please read this over again:

Next, any kind of research is wasted upon you and a waste of my time b/c you don't even try to evaluate it for authenticity. You just dismiss it out of hand with NO---I repeat---NO information to backup your claims. If it doesn't fit with your repugnant automoton programming, its bogus. So, what's the point."

So, no detective mystery here as to what you would say here.

But, if you wantto know whythe media was mum, please read the voluminous news articles from the BBC and the like (I don't even know why I bother):

gregpalast.com...

Finally, as to the song, there aren't going to be any 6 year old visiting the political section of a chat forum so let's stop acting silly. Secondly, I don;t know how many times I've read the F-word on this site from a plethora of memebers and myself but NOW you skewer me? This is just like Howard Stern and the FCC---hypocritical---as I said you were many times before. But, that's ok, you go defend racism, denying fundamental rights to vote to minorities, and the like. I don't expect anything less from you. Tell Jim Crow I said hi.
